| “I brought Matthew to physical therapy and he was entertained by all the chatter, the friendly smiles and the blessed swing!” – Lynell N. |
Bebé PT was created to address the physical challenges and the need for specialized care during and after pregnancy
Physical therapy has been proven effective in treating and preventing common discomforts during pregnancy (back pain, hip pain, sciatica, rib pain, swelling etc)
Physiologic changes in a woman’s body during and after pregnancy challenge joint stability, posture and overall mobility, often causing pain syndromes in joints and muscles of back, hips, abdomen and pelvis for example.

| Childcare available. Please call for hours and fee schedule. |
| Treatments may include soft tissue mobilization, gentle joint mobilizations, massage and trigger point release techniques, taping techniques, postural education, therapeutic exercises, cardio-vascular activities, pilates and yoga based; Biofeedback and electrotherapeutic modalities. |
| Your first visit will take approximately 60-70 minutes and consists of an individualized evaluation, printed home exercise program and information booklet. |
