You were told pelvic floor PT would take 12+ visits, but no one explained why.

If you’ve looked into pelvic floor therapy, you’ve probably felt the hesitation. The time. The cost. The question of how many appointments you’ll actually need. And when you’re pregnant, postpartum, or parenting… your schedule already feels full.

Here’s what most people aren’t told: self-pay pelvic floor therapy often requires fewer visits because the sessions are longer, more individualized, and focused on root causes instead of rushing through a checklist.

That means:

🙌 More one-on-one time

🙌 More hands-on treatment

🙌 More education so you understand what’s happening in your body

🙌 A clear plan instead of an open-ended schedule

When care is focused and intentional, progress tends to happen more efficiently.

If you’ve been putting off pelvic floor therapy because you’re unsure about the time or financial commitment, we’re happy to walk you through what it actually looks like here.

Send us a DM or schedule a consult through the link in our bio to see if it’s a good fit for you. 💙

🤰🏼Pregnant moms or friends of pregnant moms – stop your scroll!

SWIPE ➡️ to learn how to ease Symphysis p***s dysfunction (SPD or pelvic girdle pain/lightning crotch).

According to The Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association, 31.7% of pregnant women have experienced SPD!

The p***c symphysis helps keep the pelvis together and steady, and during pregnancy, the ligaments become stretchy or relaxed, which can lead to instability, discomfort, or a shooting or aching pain in the pelvic joint and other areas of the lower body.

Regular chiropractic adjustments by a specialized prenatal chiropractor help balance the pelvis and optimize spinal position, easing your pregnancy discomfort woes. 😊

⭐️ Our chiros at @‌rootschiropractic in Pittsburgh, PA, are Perinatal + Webster Technique Certified and ready to help! (The Webster Technique is a diagnostic system and pregnancy chiropractic adjustment technique)

We are here to help. Book a free consult with us or set up your first appointment using our online booking site!

Do you need pelvic health PT after a C-section?
Short answer: Yes. 🙌

A cesarean birth doesn’t skip the work pregnancy asks of your body. The pelvic floor still carries months of increased load. Your breathing patterns still adapt. Your posture, core, and pressure system all shift long before surgery even happens.

Then add abdominal surgery.

Scar tissue, changes in core coordination, altered breathing mechanics, and nervous system response all influence how your body heals and moves postpartum. That can show up as pain, weakness, leaking, constipation, fear of movement, or simply not feeling connected to your core.

Pelvic health PT after a C-section can help restore how your system works together, not just strengthen one muscle group. It supports healing, movement, and confidence as you return to daily life and exercise.

Needing pelvic health support isn’t about how your baby was born.

It’s about supporting a body that grew, adapted, and healed.

Breastfeeding was harder than I expected, and I say that as an IBCLC.

Before I started, I thought if I prepared enough, it would feel intuitive. What I didn’t realize is how much of breastfeeding is learned in real time, while you’re healing, exhausted, and figuring out your baby.

Here are a few things I wish I’d known sooner:

🔹 Pain isn’t something you’re supposed to power through. Get help early.

🔹 Positions like laid-back or side-lying can completely change a feed.

🔹 Hand expression early on can protect supply and give your body a break.

🔹 Your milk doesn’t “come in”. You have exactly what your baby needs in those first few days (colostrum), and copious milk production won’t start for a few days after birth (usually between 3-7). Monitor their diapers to know they’re getting enough!

🔹 The goal is never perfection, it is about finding something that works for your family. 🩷

If you’re in it right now and thinking “why didn’t anyone tell me this,” you’re not alone. Support shouldn’t make this feel harder.

👉 Save this for later
👉 Share with a new or expecting parent
👉 And reach out early if something feels off.

You don’t have to figure this out on your own. Reach out to us if you need lactation support!

Our Story

Dr. Shadley Centofanti first became interested in chiropractic while she was in high school after she sustained a back injury at a soccer tournament. She was never one to take medication for pain, and she was drawn to the natural and holistic field of chiropractic. After experiencing relief of her back pain within a few visits, she was intrigued and decided to look further into becoming a chiropractor. She first decided to enroll at Michigan State University where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. After that, she continued to pursue a career in chiropractic by attending Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2017. Dr. Shadley is Webster Certified by the ICPA, and she is a Certified BIRTHFIT Professional. Dr. Shadley has a special interest in pediatric and prenatal chiropractic patients, and she would love to help you and your family on the road to better health! Dr. Tom Centofanti graduated Cum Laude from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa in 2017. Before that, he was proud to be a Spartan while attending Michigan State University where he earned his Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. Dr. Tom chose chiropractic as his career because he appreciated the natural healthcare model that chiropractic offered. He loves to help people and see their smiling faces when they start feeling the amazing impact that chiropractic care can have on their overall quality of life. Dr. Shadley and Dr. Tom met while in high school, and they continued to date until they got married in 2014. They currently live in Mt. Lebanon and enjoy spending time with their family, taking their dog Ava for walks, and traveling. They especially enjoy football season where they cheer on the Spartans on Saturdays and the Steelers on Sundays!
