Life Doesn’t Have To Stop When You’re Pregnant
Every doctor has a different answer for exercising while pregnant. Odds are, one or two providers have already told you to stop exercising if it hurts.
The truth is, that all activities while pregnant differ from one expecting mother to the next. We won’t give you a canned answer, because we’ll spend the time learning about your body’s needs and abilities first.
We help you learn the best activity modifications so you can participate in your favorite hobbies and exercises throughout your pregnancy and postpartum journey in a safe way.
Custom Strength Programming for Every Trimester
Whether you love weight lifting or taking your dog on long hikes, our licensed Doctors of Physical Therapy will work with you to create custom routines that we can adapt throughout your pregnancy journey:
STEP 1:
Develop Your Custom Strength Training Routine
First, we develop your routine based on which activities you already love. If you love weight lifting, we’ll work with you to create workout routines that are safe for the baby on board.
STEP 2:
Adapt the Program for Each Trimester
As you progress through each week of pregnancy, hitting new milestones, we’ll adjust your exercise routines as we see fit.
If you’re doing great, we may not need to change anything. If you start to feel a bit uncomfortable, we’ll help you come up with new ways to continue your favorite activities.
STEP 3:
Communicate Along Every Step
At Move Smart, we’re not just a standard physical therapy clinic you come to once a week. We’re your support team and your cheerleaders. You can text us at any time with questions and we’ll check in on you to see how you’re progressing through your training program.

FAQs
What Are My Prenatal Care Options?
Women often do not have many prenatal care options beyond the typical healthcare providers available during pregnancy, such as obstetricians, nurses, family doctors, or midwives. If you want to work with a prenatal care physical therapist who can guide you through staying in shape throughout your pregnancy to prepare for your birth, call our team at (859) 215-8870.
How soon should I schedule postpartum?
Most of our clients choose to schedule after the 6-week OBGYN follow-up or once they are cleared from pelvic rest, however, if you are having pain or bowel/bladder abnormalities you can certainly be seen sooner. Our therapists are trained in assessing these things without the need to do an internal examination if you have not been cleared for this by your OBGYN. (That is probably one giant run-on sentence so feel free to alter).
Can I be seen if I am on pelvic rest during my pregnancy?
Yes you may still be seen. The treatment will not entail any internal pelvic floor muscle assessment but there are a variety of other tools our therapists use to assess and treat patients throughout their pregnancy.
