Your Postpartum Body Isn’t Failing You. It Just Needs the Right Support
So you had a baby.
Whether it was six weeks ago or six years ago, you still don’t quite feel like you. Your core feels weak. Your back hurts when you pick up the baby (or groceries). You leak when you laugh. Sex feels different—maybe painful. And you’re wondering...
“Is this just my new normal?”
Let’s pause right there.
You are not broken.
Your postpartum body isn’t failing you. It’s just asking for help—and at Body Works Women’s Health & Wellness, we’re here to answer that call with expert, compassionate care tailored to you.
“Why Didn’t Anyone Tell Me This Could Happen?”
We hear it all the time. Women walk into our Greer SC physical therapy clinic and say things like:
“I didn’t even know postpartum physical therapy was a thing.”
“I thought I just had to wait and hope it got better.”
“Everyone told me to do Kegels—but they didn’t work.”
Here’s the truth no one’s shouting from the rooftops (but we will):
Pregnancy and childbirth are major physical events.
Your muscles stretched, your posture shifted, your hormones went wild. And yet… you’re expected to bounce back like it’s NBD?
We call BS on that.
You don’t need to bounce back.
You need to rebuild—with support, education, and a plan that actually honors your body.
Common Postpartum Symptoms That Deserve Attention
If you’re experiencing any of these, it’s not “just mom life”—it’s your body telling you it needs attention:
A belly that still domes or cones when you sit up (hi, Diastasis Recti)
Leaking pee with sneezing, coughing, or laughing
Pain with sex or difficulty using tampons
A heavy, dragging feeling “down there” (possible prolapse)
Persistent back, hip, or SI joint pain
Core weakness or lack of connection
Trouble lifting, carrying, or moving without pain
Let’s be clear: you do not have to just “deal with it.”
And you’re not weak for wanting help. You’re wise.
What Real Postpartum Support Looks Like
At Body Works, we offer outpatient physical therapy that’s rooted in evidence-based care and real-life experience. We’ve been there. We get it.
Here’s how we support your healing:
Pelvic floor assessments (to figure out what’s actually going on down there)
Manual therapy to release tension and address joint pain
Functional movement retraining so you can lift, twist, and play without fear
Core coordination exercises (because your abs didn’t disappear—they just need rehab)
Guided return to fitness so you can get back to what you love without injury
We see you as a whole person—not just a set of symptoms. We treat you with the same care we’d give our sisters, friends, or ourselves.
“But It’s Been Years Since I Had My Baby…”
Still valid.
Your body doesn’t operate on a 6-week postpartum clock. Healing has no expiration date.
Whether your baby is still in diapers or driving a car, if you’re experiencing pelvic or core dysfunction, you deserve care. Full stop.
You’re Not Failing—You’ve Just Been Undersupported
The system often leaves moms behind. You get a one-size-fits-all 6-week checkup, a “you’re cleared” stamp, and zero guidance on what comes next.
We’re changing that. At our Greer SC physical therapy clinic, we specialize in chronic pain physical therapy, manual therapy, and pelvic health PT—because you’re worth more than vague advice and YouTube workouts.
