Understanding pregnancy & postpartum rehabilitation
Pregnancy and the time after birth can change how everyday tasks, exercise and pelvic symptoms feel. Your priorities may be walking comfortably, lifting your baby, managing leakage or returning to a favourite activity. Explain which matters most right now.
Share your stage of pregnancy or recovery, birth or surgical history and any guidance from your maternity team. Symptoms such as pelvic pain, heaviness and abdominal separation need individual discussion rather than an automatic return-to-exercise timetable.
Pelvic health care in Bridgeland
Melissa Chea provides pelvic health physiotherapy for women at REVIVELAB. An appointment can explore your symptoms and the movement demands of caring for a baby or returning to work and exercise. You can ask what an assessment involves before agreeing to it; an internal assessment is optional.
Build toward the activity you want back
Describe the walking, lifting, running or training you hope to resume and what happens when you try. The plan can then consider your findings, recovery and medical guidance. Pain or leakage with exercise deserves attention, not an assumption that it must be endured. Discuss new or concerning pregnancy or postpartum symptoms with your medical or maternity team.
Assessment and treatment options
These are options to discuss after an assessment, not a recommendation to book every service. Your symptoms, health history, goals and preferences guide the plan.
