The Six-Week Checkup Isn't the End of Recovery
The standard postpartum timeline, six weeks, cleared for exercise, cleared for sex, back to work, back to yourself, was built for charts, not real recovery. Most of the healing your pelvic floor needs to do happens after that appointment, not before it.
If you're in Brittany Woods and you've been told everything "looks normal" but something still feels off, it's worth a second look. Pelvic floor dysfunction isn't something an OB visit is designed to catch. It takes a physical therapist who works specifically with these muscles to find what's going on.
Things the Six-Week Visit Usually Misses
- Diastasis recti, the gap between your abdominal muscles doesn't always close on its own, and the wrong core exercises can widen it if you don't know the separation is there.
- Stress incontinence, leaking when you laugh, cough, or pick up your toddler isn't just "the new normal." It's a pelvic floor that needs retraining.
- Pelvic heaviness or prolapse, that sensation of something "falling down" or sitting too low is a real clinical finding, and it responds well to PT when caught early.
- C-section scar restrictions, the scar and the tissue around it can pull on everything from your bladder to your lower back for months after delivery.
- Painful intercourse, pain during sex after a delivery is common but not something you have to accept. It usually resolves with targeted treatment.
What an In Home Visit in Brittany Woods Looks Like
Meg pulls up to your house, you let her in, and for the next two hours you're on your own couch (or bed) while she does a thorough pelvic floor assessment and builds a plan with you. Your baby can be right there the whole time. If you need to stop and feed or change them, that's the appointment now. Nobody's watching a clock.
HSA and FSA both work. No referral needed. Call (662) 832-1790 with questions before you book.
What Mobile Pelvic Floor PT Means for Brittany Woods Patients
Most Brittany Woods patients tell Meg the same thing on their Discovery Call: they've been putting this off because adding one more thing to the day feels impossible. School pickup. Practice. Dinner. The clinic visit that needs a sitter and a 90 minute round trip from Old Taylor Road. Mobile pelvic floor PT removes that whole stack. Meg comes to your front door, sets up in whatever room works, and your appointment ends where it started, in Brittany Woods, on the south end of Oxford.
What this means in practice: no clinic wait room, no rushed session, no driving while sore. Most Brittany Woods patients book a Discovery Call first, then schedule their initial evaluation for a window that actually works, after school drop-off, during nap time, before a partner heads to work.
Common questions from Brittany Woods patients
Where in my home will Meg work? She brings a portable treatment table and basic supplies. Most Brittany Woods patients have her set up in a bedroom, living room, or any private space with about 6 feet of clear floor. No special equipment, no rearranging your house.
What about parking and access? Meg parks on the street or in your driveway, whichever is easiest. If Brittany Woods has a gate code, callbox, or specific entry instructions, send those when you book and she'll plan around it.
How fast can I get on the schedule? Most patients in Brittany Woods book a free 15 minute Discovery Call first. From there, the initial evaluation usually fits within the same week or the following one, depending on what your schedule looks like.
