Women’s Health Week is a reminder that postpartum care is essential. Too many women face barriers to accessing pelvic health physical therapy, even though it plays a critical role in recovery and long-term health. APTA supports the Optimizing Postpartum Outcomes Act to help strengthen coverage, awareness, and access to pelvic health care during the postpartum period. 💪👩‍👧

From prevention to ongoing management, PTs are stepping into roles that meet patients earlier and more holistically.
