The early weeks after having a baby are filled with incredible change, physically, emotionally, and mentally. While you’re learning how to care for your newborn, it’s easy to feel disconnected from your own body or unsure of what is “normal” during recovery. Many moms feel unsure about movement, lifting, exercise, or whether the changes they’re experiencing are normal.
Leaving home with a newborn can feel overwhelming, which is why postpartum support should come to you. This in-home visit brings expert support, helping you reconnect with your body, move safely, and build confidence in your recovery while caring for your baby.

FAQ: Top Questions About Postpartum Therapy in Oakland County, MI
How long is a postpartum home visit?
Your postpartum home care visit typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes. We know life with a newborn rarely follows a perfect schedule, so there is plenty of flexibility for feeding, diaper changes, soothing, and whatever your baby needs during your visit.
When should I schedule my postpartum home visit?
Postpartum home visits are designed for the early stages of recovery, typically 1 to 6 weeks after birth, but support can continue beyond that timeframe based on your needs.
If you are looking for postpartum physical therapy in Oakland County, MI, you can schedule your visit after your baby is born by calling (248) 266-5778 or emailing cecily@resilienceptandpilates.com.
Why choose a postpartum home visit instead of going to a clinic?
The first few weeks after having a baby can be physically and emotionally demanding. Packing up a newborn and traveling to another appointment may be the last thing you want to do while recovering.
With postpartum care in your own Oakland County home, we can see how your body is moving where everyday life is actually happening. That includes getting in and out of bed, feeding your baby, lifting and carrying, navigating stairs, and finding comfortable positions throughout the day.
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.
