Feel confident, strong, and supported in your postpartum journey with expert pelvic floor therapy.
Postpartum Recovery Program in Winston-Salem
At Taylor PT & Wellness in Winston-Salem, we believe recovery doesn’t end six weeks after birth – it lasts through the entire first year and beyond. The postpartum season is a time of healing, rediscovery, and adjustment, and you deserve more than a quick “all clear” at your checkup.
Our Postpartum Recovery Program is a 4-visit program designed to support your whole body as it heals. From pelvic floor recovery and diastasis recti to safe return to exercise, intimacy, and daily life, this program gives moms the care and confidence they need in the first year after birth.
Healing after birth doesn’t have to be overwhelming. We’re here to guide you every step of the way.
What Is the Postpartum Recovery Program?
This 4-visit program provides comprehensive care throughout your first postpartum year:
- Visit 1: Comprehensive Assessment (around 6 weeks postpartum)
We begin with a thorough history, including your prenatal journey, birth story, and outcomes (vaginal or cesarean, scar tissue, etc.). We then evaluate the pelvic floor, abdominal wall, posture, and spine to identify concerns such as leakage, constipation, prolapse, pain, or diastasis recti.
- Visit 2: Pelvic Floor Healing & Core Rehab (around 3 months postpartum)
Focused treatment to support healing, restore strength, and reconnect breath, core, and pelvic floor. We also address specific symptoms identified in Visit 1 – such as neck pain from newborn care or incontinence.
- Visit 3: Returning to Exercise & Intimacy (around 6 months postpartum)
Guidance on safely easing back into movement – whether walking, running, yoga, lifting, or high-impact exercise. We also provide strategies for comfort with intimacy and ongoing pelvic floor support.
- Visit 4: Long-Term Wellness Planning (12 months pp)
Tools and resources for continued recovery, building strength, and managing the demands of motherhood – from lifting a stroller to running, playing, or training for fitness goals.
By the End of the Program
By the end of the 4 visits, you will:
- Gain a clear understanding of your pelvic floor and core recovery
- Receive guidance for caring for your perineal or cesarean scar
- Learn strategies to help manage symptoms such as leakage, pain, or hemorrhoids
- Explore safe ways to return to exercise, movement, and fitness
- Build tools and confidence for intimacy and sexual health

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I start the Postpartum Program?
You can begin as soon as six weeks postpartum , or anytime in your first year after birth.
Do I need to have symptoms to join?
No. This program is for both symptom-free moms and those experiencing concerns like leakage, pain, or diastasis recti.
Can I bring my baby?
Yes! We are family-friendly and have a mother-baby space with nursing and diaper-changing amenities.
What if new symptoms arise during the program?
Your therapist can seamlessly integrate pelvic floor therapy into your visits, ensuring your care evolves with your needs.
How is this different from my follow-up medical visit?
Medical providers check important health markers like incision or stitch healing, infection, and other conditions within their scope of care.
