Support Can Start Before 6 Weeks
Your body begins recovering the moment your baby is born. You do not have to wait until your six-week postpartum appointment to start asking questions, learning how to move comfortably, or getting support for the physical changes you are experiencing.
Those first weeks can bring soreness, weakness, pelvic floor changes, abdominal changes, fatigue, and uncertainty about what your body is ready to do. Even everyday movements such as getting out of bed, carrying your baby, feeding, bending, or using the stairs can suddenly feel very different.
For new moms in Troy, MI, postpartum physical therapy can come directly to your home. Instead of adding another trip to an already busy day, you can receive one-on-one guidance in the environment where you are actually recovering, caring for your baby, and learning your new routines.

Troy, MI Licensed Physical Therapist 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 bring together clinical knowledge and thoughtful movement to help you better understand your body and feel confident in your recovery.
Postpartum care is never one-size-fits-all. Your delivery, symptoms, lifestyle, activity level, and goals are personal to you. My goal is to give you a space where your concerns are heard and your recovery can move forward at a pace that feels right.
As a mom of two girls, I also understand how quickly your own needs can move to the bottom of the list after having a baby. Your recovery matters too.

FAQ: Top Questions About Postpartum Therapy in Oakland County, 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?
Many home visits take place during the first 1 to 6 weeks after delivery, although care can begin or continue outside that window depending on your recovery and individual needs.
You do not necessarily have to wait for the traditional six-week postpartum checkup before receiving guidance about movement, positioning, daily activities, or concerns with your recovery.
If you live in Troy, Michigan, you can schedule an in-home postpartum visit after your baby is born 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 Troy 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.
