Pre-and Post-Partum PT
My main recommendation is to look for someone who takes your whole body into account - not just your pelvic floor alone (if they tell you to only do kegels, run screaming!). Through pregnancy, labor and birth your body goes through many changes - pelvic PT should take into account all of you. And, no one should ever tell you that it’s normal to have any long term incontinence, body pain, pain with intercourse, etc. Here are local groups/people who have great reputations:
Connect PT (now with JAG PT), Hamilton, NJ
Jennifer Perna DPT/OCS, Vivid Women’s Health, Newtown PA
Aisling Linehan DPT, Paragon Sport Spine & Wellness, Robbinsville, NJ
Danielle Rediker, DPT at RWJ in Somerset, NJ
Activecore, Princeton, NJ
Mind Body Pelvis - Princeton NJ
Meredith Rassam, Thrive Women’s Health, Lambertville, NJ
Zarina Vitebsky, ProTouch PT, Cranford and Bedminster, NJ
Jenn Mandell, Inner Circle PT Hunterdon County, NJ
The Penn Medicine and Capital Health hospitals both have groups that are highly regarded, in general - I don’t have specific names, though, because there are many and they change over time. I’m sure other local hospitals also have great groups to explore.
