Your Recovery Deserves Support Too
The first few weeks after having a baby can feel like a blur. Your attention is naturally focused on feeding, sleeping, soothing, and learning your baby's routine, while your own body is still recovering from pregnancy and delivery.
During this time, you may notice soreness, weakness, pelvic floor changes, abdominal separation, discomfort with movement, or uncertainty about what your body is ready for. Even simple things like standing up, carrying your baby, getting out of bed, or using the stairs can feel different.
You do not have to wait until six weeks postpartum to start getting answers.
For moms in Madison Heights, MI, in-home postpartum physical therapy brings one-on-one support directly to you. Your care can happen where you are already spending your time, without the stress of packing up your newborn and traveling to another appointment.

Meet Cecily
Licensed Physical Therapist Serving Madison Heights, MI and Certified Pilates Instructor
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Michigan State University and my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Oakland University. As a Michigan licensed physical therapist and certified Pilates instructor, I combine clinical experience with thoughtful, whole-body movement to create care that feels personal and practical.
Postpartum recovery looks different for every woman. Your delivery, symptoms, activity level, lifestyle, and goals all matter. My role is to listen, help you understand what your body is experiencing, and give you a clear path forward.
As a mom of two girls, I also understand how easy it is to put your own needs last after having a baby. Your recovery matters, and you deserve support that feels comfortable, unrushed, and focused on you.

FAQ: Postpartum Physical Therapy in Madison Heights, MI
How long does an in-home postpartum physical therapy visit take?
Most postpartum home visits last approximately 60 to 90 minutes.
There is no expectation that your baby will cooperate for an uninterrupted appointment. Feeding, changing, soothing, holding your baby, and taking breaks are all completely normal parts of the visit. The session is designed to work around real life with a newborn.
How soon after giving birth can I schedule postpartum physical therapy?
Postpartum home visits are often scheduled during the first 1 to 6 weeks after delivery, but care can begin or continue outside that window depending on your recovery and individual needs.
You do not necessarily need to wait until your six-week postpartum appointment to ask questions about movement, lifting, pelvic floor changes, core recovery, or everyday discomfort.
If you live in Madison Heights, MI, you can schedule an in-home postpartum visit by calling (248) 266-5778 or emailing cecily@resilienceptandpilates.com.
Why have postpartum physical therapy at home?
Getting out of the house with a newborn can require far more energy and planning than it did before giving birth. An in-home appointment allows you to receive care without adding another drive, waiting room, or packed diaper bag to your day.
It also gives your physical therapist the opportunity to see the movements you perform in your actual environment.
We can look at how you get in and out of bed, sit while feeding your baby, use stairs, lift from a crib or bassinet, carry your baby, and manage other everyday activities in your Madison Heights home.
That can make your treatment especially practical and relevant to your daily life.
Can I schedule a postpartum visit after a C-section?
Yes. Vaginal delivery can affect the pelvic floor, abdominal muscles, hips, back, and overall movement patterns.
A postpartum home visit can help you better understand what your body is experiencing, address concerns such as pelvic discomfort or urinary leakage, and give you guidance for safely rebuilding strength and confidence after birth.
Do I need to have pain or a problem to schedule postpartum care?
No. You do not need to wait until something hurts.
Many moms schedule postpartum physical therapy because they want reassurance about their recovery, help reconnecting with their core and pelvic floor, or guidance on safely returning to exercise and everyday activities.
Being proactive can also help identify movement, core, or pelvic floor concerns before they become more disruptive.
Does my baby need childcare during the visit?
Not at all. Your baby is always welcome!
One of the benefits of an in-home postpartum visit is that we can work around your baby's schedule. Feeding, diaper changes, soothing, and breaks are completely expected. We can even incorporate the way you hold, feed, lift, and carry your baby into your visit.
What concerns can postpartum physical therapy help with?
Postpartum physical therapy may be helpful if you are experiencing back, hip, or pelvic pain, urinary leakage, pelvic floor concerns, diastasis recti, core weakness, difficulty lifting or carrying your baby, or uncertainty about returning to exercise.
It can also be helpful if you simply want professional guidance and reassurance as your body recovers after pregnancy and delivery.
Does insurance cover postpartum home physical therapy?
This is a cash-based postpartum physical therapy service.
A detailed superbill can be provided for you to submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Reimbursement varies based on your individual insurance plan, so we recommend contacting your insurance provider if you have questions about coverage.
Do I need a referral from my OB, doctor, or midwife?
A physician referral is generally not required to begin physical therapy in Michigan. However, insurance requirements may differ if you plan to submit a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement.
We also value collaboration with your OB, midwife, or other healthcare provider and are happy to communicate with them when appropriate as part of your postpartum care.
Is postpartum physical therapy the same as having a postpartum doula?
No. Both can provide valuable postpartum support, but they have different roles.
A postpartum doula generally focuses on newborn care, family adjustment, and support during the postpartum period. A postpartum physical therapist focuses specifically on your physical recovery, including your pelvic floor, core, movement, strength, body mechanics, pain, and ability to safely return to the activities you enjoy.
For moms in Oakland County, MI, an in-home postpartum physical therapy visit brings that specialized care directly to you, without requiring another trip out of the house with your newborn.
