Giving birth is one of the most profound experiences a person can have. It brings about a range of physical changes that require more support than a “you'll figure it out.” Meet Mama Bear, a virtual support system that empowers birthing parents through movement and education to experience motherhood their way, while feeling strong and pain-free in their bodies.
In addition to offering the highest quality physical therapy, coaching, and lactation support, our mission is to educate mamas about pelvic floor health, nutrition, breastfeeding, and childbirth, demolishing taboos and stigmas around these issues. The combination of exercise and patient education has been proven by research to be the most effective intervention for positive long-term outcomes—which means happy mamas.
Mama Bear is not just another online resource. We offer one-on-one sessions and group classes virtually*—making them more affordable and convenient for pregnant folks and parents. It's real, personalized care with a soul to ensure you can move through motherhood feeling supported.
We’ve got your back. And your pelvic floor too.
What can Mama Bear PT do for you on your motherhood journey?
Here are 5 things.
Alleviate pregnancy symptoms so you can stay active
Get rid of wrist, back, neck, hip, and groin pain and swelling—you are already carrying a child, you don’t need to carry pain too!
Support breastfeeding
Strengthen muscles that support you and your little one while nursing; prevent or treat related shoulder, neck, or back pain; and find optimal breastfeeding positions for your body.
Prepare you for giving birth
Learn pelvic floor relaxation, perineal massage, breathing, and ideal birth positions to ease the birthing process and decrease the likelihood of tearing and injury.
Own your postpartum body
Facilitate physical activity that helps you feel strong in your new body, improve diastasis recti (widening of the abdominal muscles), and treat any lingering musculoskeletal pain. Postpartum is forever—it’s never too late to get the help you deserve.
Keep your pelvic floor in shape
Boost pelvic-floor health, improve sexual intercourse and reintroduce it after birth, treat pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence (frequent urination or leaking urine), and cesarean, episiotomy, and vaginal tearing scars.
*Physical therapy available in MA, NY, NJ, and FL.
