Virtual Pelvic Floor Therapy: Real Results for Postpartum Moms

Jul 15

Wondering if virtual pelvic floor therapy can really help? At Built to Move, we help postpartum moms regain strength and confidence—backed by science and designed to fit your busy life.

Introduction

Leaky sneezes? A weaker pelvic floor since having your baby? You’re definitely not alone, and you don’t have to just “live with it.” Here at Built to Move Physical Therapy and Wellness, we’ve seen how pelvic floor therapy can change lives—and now, virtual therapy makes it easier than ever to get the help you need. The best part? Studies show virtual care works just as well as coming into the clinic. Let’s chat about why more moms are loving this flexible approach.

Why Go Virtual? The Big Benefits

Virtual therapy means no daycare drop-offs, no fighting traffic, and no rushing out the door. You can squeeze sessions in between feedings or naps, right from your living room. We provide clear exercise demos, posture tips, and ways to ease pain—all delivered with gentle reminders through an app so you don’t forget your exercises. And you skip the awkward waiting room — just expert care, wherever you are.

Virtual Therapy Actually Works

You might wonder if virtual care can really deliver—and the answer is yes! Research shows virtual pelvic floor rehab is just as effective as in-person visits for urinary leaks and improving quality of life. One study even found moms who mostly used telehealth hit their rehab goals just as well as those who came in person. At Built to Move, we trust the science—and the stories of moms who’ve regained their confidence.

Hybrid Pelvic Floor Rehab: The Best of Both Worlds

We do something special here. Our hybrid program starts with an in-person visit so we can do hands-on assessments and biofeedback. After that, you get regular virtual follow-ups, plus in-app support and scheduled in-person check-ins that no other PT clinic offers. This way, you get the best of both worlds—personalized, hands-on care combined with the convenience and daily encouragement of virtual therapy. Moms tell us this approach makes them feel supported and connected every step of the way.

Getting Back to Your Favorite Workouts

Want to get back to running, HIIT, yoga, or whatever you love—without worrying about leaks? We’ll help you build strength safely, starting slow and gradually working up to full-body workouts. And no judgment if you still giggle-leak when you cough—we’ve all been there. Think of your pelvic floor like a hammock: if it’s too loose or too tight, it won’t do its job well. Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) might sound funny, but it really works.

Hybrid or Virtual: Which One’s Right for You?

If you’re comfortable with tech and have mild symptoms, fully virtual therapy might be a great fit. But if you’ve had tearing, a C-section, or scar tissue, our hybrid approach with hands-on care can really make a difference. Don’t be shy—ask your PT questions like, “Can we do an internal check over Zoom?” or “Is there an app to remind me to do my exercises?” and “How will you help me get back to my workouts?”

Simple Tips to Get Started

Set up your Built to Move home HQ with a comfy chair and a yoga mat. Try 5–10 minute sessions 3–5 times a week—regular practice beats long, intense sessions. Keep track of your progress—how often you leak, your urge levels, and how confident you feel. And don’t forget to celebrate those small wins—your body is doing amazing work!
