Giving birth is an amazing yet challenging experience. While bringing your bundle of joy into the world is incredible, the physical toll on your body can be immense. If you had a cesarean section (C-section) to deliver your baby, you went through a major surgery and now may be dealing with pain, discomfort, or other issues around your incision site or in your pelvic region. You don’t have to navigate this alone.

“The team at O’Brien Physical Therapy is knowledgeable, empathetic, and go above and beyond to ensure they are providing exceptional care. I am an active woman in my 40’s – I run about 30 miles a week, bike, and lift weight. I have seen Chelsea and Jill for a variety of things including pelvic health, physical therapy for aches and pains related to running, shoulder and back pain, and runner’s boot camp. Each one goes the extra mile to ensure they understand what my needs are and help me achieve my health goals. I feel so comfortable with anyone at OPT, knowing I will be cared for and able to still do the things I love and remain healthy.”
