Request Appointment

Congratulations on your new role as a mother! We are always postpartum, whether it was a few weeks or several years ago.

Are you fed up with your postpartum belly? Do you struggle to see results from core strengthening exercises? Have you experienced a separation or bulge in your postpartum stomach that won’t go away? Do you want to return to shape but fear injuring yourself? Maybe you’ve already been diagnosed with diastasis recti (abdominal muscle separation) and don’t know what to do next.

During a visit, you will learn how moms can rehabilitate their postpartum bellies and resume regular activity without anxiety, even if it has been several years after you had your kid.

At this stage, you believe that your postpartum belly is something you must live with…But you secretly hope that you will be able to play with your children and exercise without worry. It’s not fun to wonder if your actions exacerbate your diastasis recti.
We want to assist you in understanding diastasis recti and rehabilitating your postpartum core. Some things we will cover:

  • How to Tell If You Have a Recti Diastasis
  • Diastasis recti treatments
  • Postpartum core strengthening 
  • Is it safe to do planks and/or crunches after giving birth?

During your appointment, you will get all the necessary knowledge to understand how you can improve your postpartum belly without surgery.

We help postpartum women of all ages, including you, find relief from their MUMMY TUMMY. What I can tell you is that you need more than returning to high-intensity fitness programs or boot camp-style core classes.

Why? Because many mothers never learn how to correctly reawaken their deep core muscles after giving birth. As a result, parents need to work the right muscles during these fitness classes and the day-to-day rigors of caring for their children, and thus they do not notice improvements.

I know many people who have simply accepted the MUMMY TUMMY as a regular part of their life. It doesn’t have to be you!

Far too many women believe that the only way to get rid of their postpartum tummy is to have surgery. A woman’s body is incredible, and there are numerous ways to reconnect with your postpartum core.

What People Say About Continuous Motion PT

A group of yellow arrows in a row.
"Continuous Motion Physical Therapy helped me more than I could have ever imagined! I've been a competitive swimmer since I was 6 years old and always joked that I "just wanted made to go on land"! The past couple of years I've been supplementing my swimming with crossfit but have been riddled with foot, knee, and even some lower back pain. I set up an appointment with Michelle because I was frustrated with results from my podiatrist, still having trouble walking only short distances (never mind running, burpees, or box jumps!). Over 6 weeks Michelle not only helped my immediate pain but strengthened my feet and found the root of my chronic pain which, as it turns out, had been an underlying issue for over a decade! This past weekend I was able to walk 13 miles and I'm excited to continue my training with my new knowledge!"
- Lori O.
"I initially came to CMPT for help with chronic lower back pain. CMPT came highly recommended through my CrossFit box. I found CMPT's treatment and care to be far superior to physical therapy I had received in the past. Their treatment regimen was fluid and evolved as my needs changed. I also found their willingness to observe and critique my form on various lifts extremely helpful and beneficial to avoid re-injury. I found a decrease in pain and improved mobility within my first few visits. I now experience far less pain in my lower back and am able to perform various lifts with out "triggering" my back pain. I would with out a doubt recommend them to friends and family."
- Jimmy P.
"I’ve been treated by both Cameron & Michelle over the last two years for various injuries - quad strain, knee pain, weak rotator cuff, & neck pain. Before I saw them for the first time, I went to a sports focused DO first who misdiagnosed me and told me the only “cure” was to stop weightlifting. I heard great things about CMPT and sought them out for a second opinion. They treated my pain with various techniques (cupping, manipulation, dry needling, e-stim, graston, etc.) but also evaluated my form and prescribed rehab exercises (now what I use as pre-hab) to get me back into the sport I love within several weeks! I have been pain free and am extremely grateful for their spot on diagnosis and treatment every single time."
