From Prenatal to Postpartum: How Women in Barrington Reclaim Comfort with Reynolds PT
Pregnancy and postpartum are two of the most physically transformative phases in a woman’s life. From growing a new life to healing after birth, the body undergoes immense changes — and often, these changes bring discomfort, pain, or movement limitations that can make daily life harder than it needs to be.
At Reynolds PT, we believe women deserve support that’s personalized, empowering, and rooted in expert care. That’s why we specialize in physical therapy for women in Barrington — with focused programs for both prenatal and postpartum care.
Whether you're preparing for delivery or recovering afterward, our team is here to help you feel strong, mobile, and confident in your body.
Why Physical Therapy Matters for Prenatal and Postpartum Care
Many women assume that discomfort during or after pregnancy is just something to “get through.” But pain, pelvic dysfunction, and movement issues are not things you have to tolerate — and they’re often highly treatable with physical therapy.
Physical therapy offers a safe, non-invasive way to:
Ease pregnancy-related back, hip, or pelvic pain
Improve posture and core stability as your body changes
Prepare your body for childbirth with strength and mobility
Restore pelvic floor function postpartum
Reduce diastasis recti (abdominal separation)
Support bladder control and reduce pelvic heaviness
Guide a safe return to exercise and daily activity
Whether you're a first-time mom or navigating your third pregnancy, physical therapy helps support both your comfort and recovery through every stage.
Meet Reynolds PT: Specialized Women’s Physical Therapy in Barrington
Located in Barrington, RI, Reynolds PT is a women-led, women-focused practice built to support every stage of your journey — from pregnancy through postpartum and beyond.
We specialize in pelvic health and orthopedic physical therapy for women, offering expert care in a compassionate, judgment-free space. Our approach is personal: you’ll work directly with a licensed physical therapist who listens to your story, understands your goals, and tailors treatment to your specific needs.
We’ve created a space where women feel empowered, not rushed. Our one-on-one sessions provide time to ask questions, share concerns, and get the care you deserve — with no hand-offs to assistants or techs.
Common Concerns We Help Women Address
Every woman’s pregnancy and recovery journey is different. Some experience sharp physical pain. Others feel limited in movement, frustrated with their pelvic floor, or unsure how to safely return to exercise.
At Reynolds PT, we treat a wide range of prenatal and postpartum concerns, including:
Lower back pain
Sciatic nerve pain
Pelvic girdle dysfunction
Pubic symphysis pain
Diastasis recti (abdominal separation)
Urinary leakage or incontinence
Pain during intercourse
Core weakness and instability
C-section recovery
Difficulty lifting, walking, or caring for your baby without pain
Our goal is to help you feel like yourself again — with less pain, more energy, and greater control over your body.
What to Expect from Prenatal Physical Therapy at Reynolds PT
Prenatal physical therapy is designed to help you move through pregnancy with greater ease and prepare your body for a smoother labor and delivery.
During your initial session, we’ll begin with a thorough assessment of your posture, movement, core strength, and any discomfort you’re experiencing. From there, we create a personalized plan that may include:
Gentle hands-on techniques for muscle and joint pain
Core and pelvic floor exercises to support your growing body
Postural training to reduce strain and improve comfort
Breathing strategies to aid relaxation and labor prep
Safe modifications for daily tasks and exercise
Prenatal PT isn’t just about treating pain — it’s about empowering you to feel strong, mobile, and connected to your body as it changes.
How Postpartum Physical Therapy Helps You Heal and Rebuild
Whether you had a vaginal or cesarean birth, postpartum recovery takes time — and support. Many women are cleared for activity at six weeks, but still feel far from “normal.” That’s where postpartum physical therapy steps in.
At Reynolds PT, we guide your recovery by:
Assessing and restoring pelvic floor strength and function
Helping you safely return to movement and exercise
Rebuilding deep core stability to support your spine and pelvis
Addressing scar tissue from cesarean sections or tearing
Reducing pain with lifting, nursing, or caring for your baby
Supporting bladder and bowel control
There’s no one-size-fits-all timeline for healing. Our care is paced to your body, your goals, and your life — with the flexibility to evolve as your recovery progresses.
The Benefits of a Cash-Based Model for Women’s Wellness
Reynolds PT operates on a cash-based model, which allows us to prioritize your needs over insurance limitations. That means:
No visit limits or diagnosis restrictions
More time per session (you’ll never be rushed or passed off)
Treatment plans built around your actual goals, not what’s reimbursable
Transparent pricing, with no unexpected bills or denials
Freedom to address preventive and wellness care, not just pain or injury
This model puts you — not the insurance company — at the center of your care. It allows us to deliver a higher standard of personalized support, especially during the nuanced and personal phases of prenatal and postpartum life.
Our One-on-One Approach: Why Personalized Care Matters
Your story, your birth experience, and your recovery are completely unique. That’s why at Reynolds PT, we don’t use cookie-cutter protocols or delegate your care.
Every session is one-on-one with a licensed physical therapist. We take the time to understand:
How your body is feeling — physically and emotionally
What your day-to-day demands look like
What goals matter to you most right now
How we can build strength and resilience that fits your lifestyle
This kind of focused attention leads to faster progress, better outcomes, and — most importantly — a deeper sense of confidence in your recovery process.
