Q&A

Q: Are there any specialities in who you serve? (e.g. home birth, VBAC, etc.)

A: We specialize in highly active and athletic women who want to get back to intense exercise - not just daily activities. We are among the few PTs who specialize in the most current, research based treatment of diastasis recti (DRA) / core dysfunction and prevention, as well as weightlifting and running through pregnancy and afterward.

Q: How much experience do you have?

A: I (Dr. Sheri DeSchaaf, owner) have over 10 years experience as a pre/postnatal and pelvic floor PT. I hire only PTs with at least 2 years of experience in pelvic floor and 2 years experience with general orthopedics., as well as formal training in pre and postnatal care. I do not hire PTs who are not already 100% trained and trustworthy.

Q: What drew you into working with parents-to-be?

A: Many women spend hours preparing everything for the baby - EXCEPT their bodies. After baby comes they have no idea how to repair the damage done by pregnancy and birth. In even one session with a new mom I have made a HUGE difference in her confidence to carry, birth her baby, and recover her body well - this is hugely rewarding for me!
