Still Struggling After Baby? You're Not Alone.

Leaking, core weakness, pelvic pain, and painful intercourse aren't just "part of being a mom" — they're signs your body needs real, specialized care.

Told It's "Normal"

You mentioned leaking, pelvic pressure, or core pain at your six-week checkup — and were told it would go away on its own. Months later, you're still waiting. These symptoms are common, but they are never something you should just accept.

Generic Programs Don't Work

You've tried postpartum workout videos and generic core exercises, but nothing feels right — or worse, things feel worse. Without a whole-body evaluation, no program can address your root cause.

No Time for Your Health

Between feeding schedules, work, and caring for your little one, your recovery keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the list. You need a provider who respects your time — with full 60-minute, one-on-one sessions built around your life.

Postpartum Physical Therapy for Real Recovery

Real Results from Real Patients in South Florida

"Dr. Dana did an awesome job helping me unravel my low back/core/pelvic issues. I had some muscle activation issues and there's no way I could have figured out what was happening on my own. I also did a session with Dr. Gattas which was also very enlightening. The treatments and education were incredibly valuable to me and my recovery. If you're having any issues with your hips/core/back or more specifically pelvic floor issues, I highly recommend coming here."

Alex DiVecchio

"I have worked with many pelvic floor therapists over the years on my vaginismus, and Dr. Krisia Gattas has definitely been my favorite. She focuses not only on internal work, but makes sure the rest of my body is in the best shape possible to support my pelvic floor. She is SUPER kind and friendly and always makes sure I am comfortable during our sessions. Would recommend her to anyone feeling nervous about starting appointments or those wanting to take their physio therapy a bit further by engaging their full body. She has helped me progress SO much!"

Jordyn

"Both Dr. Krisia and Dr. Dana are incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. I've been seeing Dr. Dana during my pregnancy, and she tailored each session to my changing needs - from pelvic floor adjustments and relieving lower back and round ligament pain to perineal massage and guidance on breathing and birth positions. Her support has helped me manage discomfort, stay strong, and feel more prepared for birth and postpartum. I highly recommend them if you have concerns during or after pregnancy, and I'll definitely be returning for postpartum recovery and treatment."

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral to start postpartum physical therapy?

No referral is needed. Florida is a direct-access state, which means you can schedule directly with a Doctor of Physical Therapy without seeing your OB or primary care provider first. We do recommend starting with a free phone consultation so we can confirm that postpartum PT is the right fit for your specific goals and symptoms.

Do you accept insurance for postpartum physical therapy?

Pelvic Therapy South Florida is an out-of-network provider. This means you pay directly for your sessions, and we provide a detailed superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Many patients with PPO plans recover a significant portion of their costs. We're happy to discuss this further during your free phone consultation.

What happens during my first postpartum physical therapy session?

Your first session is a full 60-minute, one-on-one evaluation with your own Doctor of Physical Therapy — no aides, no interruptions. We'll assess your posture, breathing mechanics, core and hip strength, pelvic floor coordination, and any orthopedic concerns such as low back or hip pain. From there, we build a personalized treatment plan combining hands-on manual therapy, myofascial release, therapeutic exercise, and education — tailored to where you are in your postpartum recovery and what you want to get back to.
