Postpartum Physical Therapy in Wichita, KS
You Just Built a Human. Let's Build You Back.
People come to us when they're struggling with leaking, pelvic pain, core weakness, or the nagging sense that something just doesn't feel right after having a baby. At Natural Wellness Physiotherapy, we help you rebuild from the inside out — one-on-one, with a plan built around your body and where you want to go.
Your Body Changed. Ignoring It Only Makes Recovery Harder.
The six-week clearance isn't a real recovery plan
Your OB said everything looks fine — and maybe it does structurally. But "cleared" doesn't mean ready to run, lift, or get through a workout without leaking. There's more work to do.
Leaking or pain isn't just something to accept
Urinary leakage during a run or a sneeze isn't normal — it's common, but there's a difference. If prior care told you this was just part of having a baby, that's not the whole picture.
Jumping back in too fast has real consequences
Returning to running or lifting before your pelvic floor and core are ready can set recovery back. You deserve a plan that tells you when and how — not a timeline based on how old your baby is.
Postpartum PT Built Around Your Recovery
At Natural Wellness Physiotherapy, every postpartum session is one-on-one and built around where your body actually is — not a generic new-mom protocol. We assess your pelvic floor, core, and movement patterns, then build a plan to get you back to the activities you care about.
What Many Clients Work Through With Us
From pelvic floor dysfunction and diastasis recti to leaking and pelvic pain, many new moms in Wichita address these postpartum challenges with us.
Pelvic Floor Weakness - Poor endurance or strength in the pelvic floor that causes leaking, pressure, or difficulty with exercise after delivery.
Urinary Leakage - Leaking with running, jumping, sneezing, or laughing that's common after birth but not something you have to accept permanently.
Diastasis Recti - Separation of the abdominal muscles that affects core strength, stability, and how the abdomen responds to load during exercise.
Pelvic Pain - Discomfort in the pelvis, tailbone, or pubic area that makes everyday movement, exercise, or sitting uncomfortable.
Painful Intercourse - Pain or discomfort during sex after delivery, often tied to pelvic floor tension or scar tissue that responds well to targeted PT.
Prolapse - A feeling of heaviness, pressure, or bulging in the pelvic region that can limit your activity and your confidence returning to exercise.
Low Back and Hip Pain - Postpartum aching or instability in the low back, SI joints, or hips that persists well beyond the first few weeks after delivery.
Return to Running or Lifting - Rebuilding the strength and pelvic floor function needed to run, lift, and train again without symptoms getting in the way.

Frequently Asked Questions
Postpartum recovery comes with a lot of questions. Here are the ones we hear most from new moms in Wichita before getting started.
Postpartum PT and pelvic floor PT overlap significantly. We assess and treat the pelvic floor, but we also look at the whole picture — core strength, movement patterns, load tolerance, and your return-to-activity goals. Pelvic floor function is central to postpartum recovery, and it's one part of a thorough evaluation.
Many people start early — even in the first few weeks — for an assessment and gentle work before returning for more active rehab around the six-week mark. There's no need to wait until you've been "cleared." Starting early means we can identify issues sooner and guide your recovery more effectively from the start.
Absolutely. C-section recovery involves scar tissue management, core reconnection, and rebuilding deep stability — all things postpartum PT addresses directly. Whether you had a vaginal or surgical delivery, your core and pelvic floor need targeted attention to recover well and return to full activity.
Not necessarily, and never without your full comfort and consent. Internal assessment can be one of the most informative ways to understand pelvic floor function, but it's always optional and always explained beforehand. Your comfort and autonomy guide what we do in every session.
We're a cash-based clinic. We accept HSA and FSA, and we can provide a superbill so you can submit for potential out-of-network reimbursement through your insurance plan. Many clients find the one-on-one, individualized care well worth the investment.
