Expert Postpartum Physical Therapy in Metairie, LA
Your body did something extraordinary — now it deserves expert care. At FunXional Physical Therapy in Metairie, our Doctors of PT specialize in postpartum recovery, pelvic floor rehabilitation, and helping new moms return to movement, strength, and the activities they love — without surgery, injections, or rushing through a crowded clinic.
Still Struggling Months After Giving Birth?
Too many new moms are told to "just rest" or "give it time" — while leaking, pelvic pain, and core weakness quietly steal their quality of life. You deserve more than that.
You Were Cleared at 6 Weeks — But Nothing Feels Right
That quick OB sign-off doesn't mean your body is fully recovered. Leaking, pain during exercise, and core instability can linger for months or years without proper postpartum rehab — and no one warned you.
You've Tried to Push Through, But Pain Keeps Stopping You
Whether it's returning to running, lifting, or just getting through a workout without discomfort, a body that hasn't been properly rehabilitated after birth will keep holding you back — no matter how hard you try.
Generic PT Left You With a Sheet of Exercises and No Real Answers
High-volume, insurance-driven clinics don't have time to investigate root causes. You get 10-minute visits, shared appointments, and handoffs to aides — instead of a real plan built around your body and your goals.

Step 2: Get a Root-Cause Assessment
Your first session is a full hour dedicated entirely to understanding your body. Your Doctor of PT will evaluate your movement, strength, pelvic floor function, and postpartum history to build a personalized treatment plan — not a generic protocol.
Step 3: Recover, Strengthen & Get Back to Life
With hands-on care, guided exercise progressions, and ongoing support through the FunXional PT App, you'll rebuild core strength, resolve pelvic floor dysfunction, and return confidently to running, lifting, or whatever 'back to normal' looks like for you.

Postpartum PT Questions, Answered
Everything you need to know before your first visit — no guesswork, no surprises.
No referral needed. Louisiana is a direct-access state, meaning you can come directly to us without seeing a doctor first. Start with a free 15-minute discovery call — we'll answer your questions and tell you exactly how we can help.
FunXional PT operates as a self-pay, out-of-network clinic. We do not bill insurance directly, but we provide superbills you can submit for potential out-of-network reimbursement. We also accept HSA and FSA payments. This model allows us to spend a full hour with you — no insurance-driven limits on your care.
Many clients begin as early as 6–8 weeks postpartum, but you don't need to wait until your OB clears you for exercise. A postpartum PT evaluation can begin gently before that milestone to assess pelvic floor function, breathing mechanics, and posture. We'll always work within your healing stage.
Every session is a full 60 minutes, 1:1 with your Doctor of Physical Therapy — no techs, no aides, no shared appointments. Sessions may include pelvic floor assessment, manual therapy, dry needling, cupping, therapeutic exercise, and breathwork, plus a personalized home program through the FunXional PT App.
Many postpartum conditions resolve in 4–6 focused sessions, or with visits every two weeks over 8–12 weeks. Our hybrid model — in-person sessions plus app-based coaching and direct messaging — means you make progress between visits too, so you need fewer overall sessions than traditional PT.
