Throughout pregnancy, your body has to adjust to the constant strain of growing an entirely new human being. Unfortunately, once your darling baby arrives, things don’t just snap back to the way they were. We all know the common postpartum symptoms, including embarrassing bladder leaks. While that might be a common experience, you can receive holistic care so you can get back to a life without crossing your legs every time you find a joke funny! As a Des Moines newborn photographer, I get the chance to connect with parents who have found assistance. Here’s why I now always recommend Kinetic Edge Physical Therapy.

Kinetic Edge Physical Therapy is a practice with locations all across Iowa. While I always recommend their pelvic floor physical therapy, they are there for pretty much all of your needs. They work with everyone, from elite athletes to workers dealing with on-the-job injuries. No matter your concern, they will work with you to find the care plan that fits your needs!
When you sign up for pelvic floor physical therapy at Kinetic Edge, your care will start out with an initial evaluation. You will first be matched with one of the providers from their all-female team. Then, during this meeting, they will go over your medical history, your current concerns, and what you hope to gain from their appointments. While their internal evaluations can be an extremely effective way to figure out the proper course of care, they put your comfort above all else.
If you choose, you can describe your symptoms instead so they can try to gauge what you need. From there, your appointments will typically last around 40 minutes. They use a variety of techniques, including manual therapy, exercise prescription, biofeedback, and bowel retraining. Your provider will keep education at the heart of all they do, working with you to understand why you might be experiencing these symptoms and how your body reacts to the retraining. They treat conditions including bladder dysfunction, pelvic organ prolapse, delivery preparation, postpartum-related pain, general pelvic pain, and so much more!
Kinetic Edge works with patients to make access to care as easy as possible. They do not require a doctor’s referral before your treatment. Nonetheless, they will constantly be in touch with your provider so they can take a comprehensive approach to your care. They also accept insurance and are in-network for pretty much every company. If you need help figuring out your benefits, they offer a complimentary insurance check so you can know what to expect before that first appointment.
You don’t have to let pelvic pain and leaks be a permanent part of motherhood. With Kinetic Edge Physical Therapy, you will have personalized care, so you can get rid of these conditions for good!
