Postpartum Rehabilitation/ Doula Care
Giving birth is a special time filled with new experiences. While the changes to a woman’s body develop gradually as the baby grows and moves within her, these effects upon the mother’s body can impact her ability to perform daily tasks with comfort. Postpartum rehabilitation serves to address those concerns and to restore comfort and relative ease.
Heal From The Inside
There are many physical changes that can occur during pregnancy. Back, neck and shoulder or pelvic pain, headaches, leakage of the bladder or bowel may continue after the birth. Scars from surgery or perineal tears may restrict movement. Full Spectrum Healing is specially trained to address these aspects of pregnancy and postpartum care. Getting through the first 6-8 weeks postpartum presents different challenges for everyone. How you care for yourself now can set the stage for your best recovery.
Give a Voice to Your Concerns and Feelings
As joyful and intimate as the birth of a baby can be, the parents may experience increased stress related to irregular rest and sleep patterns. Loss of a child through miscarriage or stillbirth can traumatically impact a couple’s relationship. Cultural expectations about parenting roles can be contrary to the parents’ current needs for balance between parenting and self care. Parenting styles differ. Mother’s changes in hormone levels are known to impact her mood levels, potentially experienced as postpartum depression. Full Spectrum Healing is specially trained to address these concerns, and to provide effective strategies.
Reestablish Your Exercise and Work/ Life Balance
When is the right time to resume regular exercise and social activities? Whether your child has typical growth and development or one finds oneself challenged by NICU hospitalization and chronic therapeutic care, how does each parent and caregiver establish balance with compassion for one’s own boundaries and needs? Occupational therapy and Doula care can help with all aspects of this challenge. We specifically work with pediatric development and mothers postpartum care .
