Expert Postpartum Physical Therapy in Charlotte, NC
Your body did something extraordinary — now it deserves expert care. At Balanced Physical Therapy & Pilates, our Doctors of Physical Therapy specialize in postpartum recovery: pelvic floor rehab, diastasis recti, core rebuilding, and safe return to the activities you love. Every session is 1:1, 50 minutes, with a DPT — never an aide. No referral needed.
Still Struggling Months After Baby?
Postpartum recovery isn't just about "bouncing back" — it's about rebuilding from the inside out. If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone, and you don't have to push through it.
Leaking When You Laugh, Jump, or Sneeze
Urinary leakage after birth is common — but it's not something you have to live with. Pelvic floor dysfunction is treatable, and early care makes a real difference.
Core That Feels Weak or 'Disconnected'
Diastasis recti, deep core weakness, and that "gap" down the middle are signs your body needs targeted, expert rehab — not just generic "ab workouts."
Pain That's Being Dismissed as 'Normal'
Pelvic pain, painful intercourse, hip or back pain postpartum — these aren't things you just accept. You deserve a clinician who listens and has a plan.

“As an athlete, I've experienced my share of injuries—torn muscles, broken bones, and ACL surgery—but my most chronic source of discomfort comes from AVN in my hips.

Common Questions About Postpartum PT
Not sure where to start? Here are answers to the questions we hear most from postpartum moms in Charlotte and the surrounding South Charlotte area.
Do I need a doctor's referral to start postpartum physical therapy at Balanced?
No referral is required. North Carolina allows direct access to physical therapy, so you can book your initial evaluation without seeing your OB or primary care provider first. Simply schedule a free 15-minute discovery call and we'll get you started.
Do you accept health insurance for postpartum physical therapy?
Balanced Physical Therapy & Pilates operates as a self-pay, out-of-network clinic. This means your care is never limited by insurance restrictions or rushed by session caps. We provide a detailed superbill after each visit that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Contact us to learn more about pricing.
How soon after giving birth can I start pelvic floor physical therapy?
Many providers recommend waiting until your 6-week postpartum clearance visit before beginning internal pelvic floor work — but external assessment, breathing, and gentle movement education can often begin earlier. Every recovery is different. Schedule a free discovery call and your Doctor of PT will help you determine the right timing for your body.
