Postpartum Physical Therapy and Telehealth Visits
Duke Health physical therapists use exercise and other non-surgical techniques to help you strengthen, relax, and learn how to coordinate your pelvic floor muscles. Our goal is to improve your pelvic floor health so you can confidently perform daily tasks, participate in sports, and improve your overall quality of life. Our physical therapists have completed extensive training for treating pelvic health conditions to ensure you receive personalized care.
Patients who give birth at Duke University Hospital now benefit from a unique inpatient physical therapy program specifically structured to address postpartum needs. Duke Health is one of a limited number of health systems in the country to offer this type of program, which was conceptualized two years ago by an innovative, multidisciplinary team of physical therapists and ob/gyns. The program launched in August 2023.
