I’ve been working as a Women's Health Physical Therapist for 12 years and own Empower Movement Physical Therapy. At this point, I’ve treated hundreds of pregnancy and postpartum patients. Everything I’ve learned in those years has gone into creating Expecting and Empowered - a resource that I now recommend to ALL of my pregnant and postpartum clients. As I like to say, “motion is lotion”- movement during these physically demanding years sets you up for a smoother journey. ______________________________Did you love this episode?
