Personalized Prenatal and Postnatal Physical Therapy in Old Town

Your body experiences significant changes during pregnancy and the months that follow. FYZICAL Chicago’s physical therapy for pregnancy in Old Town addresses the unique challenges you face during this time. Our PCES-certified therapist creates customized treatment plans to help you move comfortably, recover effectively, and return to the activities you love.

We work with women to address common concerns such as:

Mid- and low-back pain: Pregnancy shifts your center of gravity and strains your spine. We use targeted exercises and hands-on techniques to reduce discomfort and improve posture.
Pelvic pain: Many women experience pelvic girdle pain during pregnancy or after delivery. Our specialized approach helps stabilize your pelvis and restore normal movement patterns.
Hip pain: Hormonal changes and increased stress on your hips can cause persistent discomfort. We strengthen supporting muscles and improve joint mobility through evidence-based treatments.
Diastasis recti: This abdominal muscle separation affects 6 in 10 postpartum women. Our structured programs help restore core integrity and function through progressive exercise.
