Chiropractic, rehab, and strength training for pregnancy and postpartum
Pain, leaking, weakness, and instability are common in pregnancy and after birth, but you don't have to just live with them. I combine hands-on care, mobility work, and strength training so you build lasting capacity instead of depending on passive care.
Who this is for
During pregnancy: You find yourself scaling back workouts out of fear or caution; you're dealing with pelvic pressure, round ligament pain, or back aches; or you want to prepare your body for the physical demands of labor.
After birth: You are experiencing upper back pain and tightness from feeding and holding baby, feeling a 'gap' or weakness in your core (diastasis recti), or simply don't know how to safely bridge the gap between your 6-week clearance and the high-intensity exercise you love.
How care works
Pregnancy: We focus on pelvic stability and ribcage mobility to create space for baby and comfort for you. We use the Webster Technique, gentle adjustments and manual therapy techniques to best support your body
Postpartum: We assess how your core and pelvic floor are managing pressure. Whether you're 6 weeks or 6 years postpartum, we address the root cause of symptoms rather than just managing them.
Strength training: Every visit includes movement. We don't just 'fix' you on the table; we teach you how to move through your workouts with intention and power.
Success Stories
" Forme Chiro and Wellness was so helpful in my prenatal and postpartum journey for both of my babies. Dr Brubaker is so knowledgeable and skilled. She utilized all types of treatment options (cupping, massage, dry needling, etc) to help me with back, neck, and jaw pain. She also provided exercises to help improve symptoms and keep them away. I highly recommend her. "
" I first visited Dr Jess in my third trimester to get “aligned” before birth. I was expecting a couple adjustments but got so much more from advice on supplements to tailored stretches to help myself at home. Her space is beautiful and I’ve been back countless times for postpartum support to release tension from breastfeeding (better than any general massage could achieve)! "
" SO thankful to have found Dr. Brubaker. We discuss in detail what I had been feeling between appointments then she adjusts accordingly and sends me home with continued exercises and stretching I can do at home to continue the progress.
Highly recommend!!! Such a unique approach to chiropractic care and I don’t think I could ever go back to not having this! "
