Are You Struggling With Postpartum Concerns In Colorado Springs, CO Area?
"Are you a mom who wants to be more active or get back to your favorite workouts and you don't know where to start or what's safe for you to do?"
A Message From Justine Calderwood, Owner & Founder of The Healing Spot Physical Therapy
- Are you worried about whether your postpartum healing is headed in the right direction or if you’re doing things that might make things worse over time?
- Do you have questions that your doctor hasn’t answered to your satisfaction?
- Do you wonder if it’s okay to workout like you did before having your baby or if you’re ready to run and jump and do certain exercises at home or at the gym?
- Are you looking for some guidance from a birth healing specialist so you can feel strong and confident after having your baby?
- Do you have specific questions about the changes you’ve noticed in your body since having your baby…like what to do about the lingering pain in your back, why sex hurts now when it didn’t before, will that doming in your belly just go away, why you’re feeling more pressure “down there” or if you really need to do 100 kegels a day to keep from peeing your pants a little?
- Just “rest” and it’ll be fine (then months later they’re still suffering…)
- It’s “normal” after having babies or as you age.
- Just exercise like you did before your baby, I’m sure it will be fine.
- If you take some pills everything will be okay.
- You just need to do more kegels because your pelvic floor is weak.
- Pills, surgery and injections are not the only options. They’re just the only options your doctor or surgeon can offer you.
The Truth Is...
- Resting doesn’t change anything. You might get a small temporary relief, but then when you get active again or try to push your workouts you’ll still be suffering (I bet you’ve already experienced it!)
- It’s not normal to have ongoing back, sacral, hip or pelvic pain after having babies or as you get older...or worse, to be peeing your pants when you’re trying to run or jump with your kids!
- Pain pills are addicting, dangerous, and can cause a lot of other problems with your body. (Plus, they don’t really change what causes pain and leaking and diastasis recti or other postpartum concerns to begin with!)
- “Learning to relax” and “drinking some wine” are not even close to being solid advice. They’re just the only options your doctor offers you because they don’t know how to really help you.
- Kegels aren’t the “end-all, be-all” to healing after having a baby….in fact, not all women NEED to kegels and they can make things worse. There’s so much more that can be offered to you then just doing kegels.
- Exercise is good and necessary to have a healthy body but there are special considerations for working out postpartum than pre-baby, especially if you’re already having some concerns before you’ve even gotten started.

- A family member tells you to just learn to live with it; she’s had 3 kids herself and these things just come with having babies
- A colleague mentions going to the chiropractor
- The “experts” on YouTube recommend doing kegels and butt exercises
- A friend suggests going for a massage
- All while the doctor tells you to give up running and working out or just take some pills for the pain and leaking
It’s overwhelming to try to make a decision with all these choices…what will happen if you don’t make the right one?
Most people get stuck trying to make a decision about what to do next. They go days, weeks, months (even years!) without taking action, all the while feeling more overwhelmed and unhappy.
When It Comes To Solving Something Serious Like Postpartum Pain and Concerns…
You must choose the right provider for your health. If you don’t, you could end up getting dangerous surgery (when it was unnecessary) or being dependent on addicting painkillers the rest of your life or just living with it when there’s actually a solution right around the corner.
Getting the “least-invasive”, most natural treatment is VITAL to you stopping your postpartum pain and keeping it from ever coming back AND to helping you solve very common postpartum concerns that moms all over the world heal from.
To do that, you have to not just treat the issue, but have a provider who is willing to figure out WHY the issue happened in the first place. That’s when you’ll get a PERMANENT solution to your problems.
At The Healing Spot Physical Therapy we’ve created a 3 step process to get rid of your postpartum pain and concerns AND make sure they don’t come back again.
Step #1 - We Want To Listen To Your Story
Our medical system is frustrating. You wait weeks, sometimes months, for an appointment, only to get to talk to the doctors for 10 minutes before they have to run to the next patient and you’re left sitting there wondering, “What just happened?”
Even most pelvic floor physical therapy clinics operate this way. They’re not attentive, they’re fast-paced, and your therapist doesn’t have time to actually touch you where you hurt or look at the area that is concerning you.
This is why our first step is to listen to your story.
After working with lots of women with postpartum issues, we know that no two people are alike. Each person has a different body, a different history, and different types of pain and concerns.
That is why our first step is to have an open conversation and time for you to tell your story. That way we get a deep understanding of what’s going on not just with your body, but also how it’s impacting your life.
Step #2 - Find Out WHY Postpartum Issues Started
Many people have a diagnosis, or medical term for what’s going on with their body. Maybe their doctor gave it to them, maybe tests showed the diagnosis, or maybe you found it online.
You could have been told that your only choice was to rest, take medications, or get surgery.
Sometimes, those things bring temporary relief, but they’re not addressing what CAUSED the problem in the first place.
Every person’s cause of postpartum pain or concerns is different. No one has the exact same problem caused by the exact same thing as another person.
Our goal at The Healing Spot Physical Therapy is to find that original cause of your issue, so not only does your concern go away, it STAYS AWAY!
We understand that you still might be skeptical or unsure if physical therapy is right for you. That’s why we created a free taster session. (Yes! That means the first session is ON US!)
Our Discovery Sessions are meant specifically for those people who are skeptical, unsure, or have even been let down in the past. During the Discovery Session you’ll find out what’s wrong, how long it’s going to take to fix it, and give you peace of mind that your problem can be fixed naturally!
Step #3 - Get Rid Of The Postpartum Issue & Keep It From Coming Back
This is when the big transformations occur. We develop a personalized plan that allows you to…
…Get back to exercising and sexy time without fear of pain or postpartum issues coming back
…Be able to do your job, stop missing out on activities with your family, and get back to your life without pain or other
postpartum issues holding you back
…Get back to the pre-baby body you loved, feeling strong and confident once again
Our best clients are those who are motivated and ready to win back their active lifestyle. (Even if they feel stuck right now!)
Want to know more about our availability and costs before making any commitment to coming in?
STEP #4 GET BACK TO YOUR EXERCISE SAFELY AND CONFIDENTLY AFTER HAVING A BABY
Not sure you’re ready for exercise?
Let us help you determine if you’re at High Risk, Low Risk or No Risk for injury or common postpartum issues with an assessment with one of our Specialist Physical Therapists.
You’ll learn exactly how ready you are to begin working out.
You don’t have to sacrifice the activities you love, your self confidence or the relationships you care about over problems that can be fixed.
Sincerely,
Justine Calderwood

“I visited The Healing Spot after experiencing some pelvic floor issues postpartum and saw Mary Hollenback. Mary is amazing! Not only did Mary help me with the issues I was dealing with, but she also imparted to me a deeper knowledge of my pelvic area to help me going forward. In addition, Mary is warm, a pleasure to talk to, and puts you at ease. This was such a positive experience for me, and I highly recommend her! Thank you Mary!”

“I had an 11 pound, 24-inch long baby girl in September 2018. I labored for five days before I gave birth at home to my giant child. Postpartum felt like I had been ran over by a big rig truck and dragged 100 miles down the freeway. During pregnancy, I tried to do as much research possible to prepare myself for the postpartum period, often called the fourth trimester. But as most moms tell first-time moms, there’s not much you can actually prepare for.
