Our Process
History & Full-Body Assessment
Hands-On Treatment & Exercise
Internal Muscle Assessment
The V Boutiq Plan
We start with a review of your medical history, labor and delivery experience, and your postpartum wellness/fitness concerns.
We identify and treat back & pelvic alignment issues, strength imbalances, and muscle tightness through a full-body assessment.
Our hands-on treatments release tight tissues, mobilize joints, and enhance comfort and stability. We specialize in myofascial release and joint mobilization in all regions of the body. We also perform trigger point dry needling, cupping, and scar mobilization.
Staying connected to your core, pelvic floor, and glutes is so important in pregnancy. As experts in exercise prescription, we provide a specific exercise program for a safe pregnancy and a jump-start in postpartum recovery.
We may decide to perform an internal vaginal assessment of your pelvic floor muscles. We use a single, gloved index finger to gently assess the tone, strength, and pain in the muscles of your pelvic floor. We can also assess scar tissue and coccyx (tailbone) condition with an internal assessment. This can be valuable in making sure your pelvic floor is ready for vaginal delivery.
No two pregnancies are the same, so we customize your plan based on you! With a V Boutiq Bundle, we create a progressive program to address evolving symptoms, strength, and tension over the course of a few visits. If you only plan for 1 visit, we provide you with a foundational program with some guidance for progression on your own.
