Born on May 20th, 2021 at 1pm…the moms at Early Mommy are thrilled to welcome BABY BUM BUTTA! This all-natural cream blends hand-selected ingredients proven to soothe baby’s skin instantly on contact. Developed to treat and prevent diaper rash, a common ailment for new mommies and their little ones, Early Mommy’s unique formula was created by moms, for moms to moisturize and treat baby’s delicate skin while protecting against future skin irritation.

After all, moms and dads deserve to feel empowered and confident when they’re making those all-important first purchases for their baby. ”

Pregnancy can result in a substantial amount of physical changes as your body grows and adapts to carry new life. At Inner Dynamics Physical Therapy, we want to help make this monumental time of your life as easy of a transition as possible. Pelvic physical therapy during the prepartum and postpartum stages can treat the potential discomfort and difficulties that emerge.
Prepartum dysfunctions commonly seen include low back pain, lower extremity pain, hip tightness, pelvic girdle pain, urinary leakage, swelling and difficulty with overall mobility. Interventions can also be used prepartum to improve the delivery process by preparing the perineal region for birth. Postpartum concerns commonly seen include low back pain, perineal pain, C-section scar pain, urinary or fecal leakage, difficulty resuming activities such as exercising, sex or household chores, and core weakness. A pelvic physical therapist can manage and reduce your physical symptoms by addressing postural changes, body mechanics, strength impairments and muscle tissue changes related to your concerns. Some new mothers notice after giving birth a thinning or separation of the abdominal wall called a diastasis recti abdominis that can be addressed with a pelvic physical therapist as well. Throughout all stages, we will perform a musculoskeletal examination to identify what structures are affected by your symptoms, and then devise an individualized treatment plan to help you improve your daily function and restore your overall well-being.

Whether you’re planning for a family, pregnant or just had a baby, Crest Physical Therapy offers customized plans to optimize your physical health.
Dedicated to providing first class physical therapy care to our patients, we provide comprehensive and individually designed rehabilitative therapy and exercise programs for patients of all ages and physical abilities. Crest offers a full range of physical therapy services and certified rehabilitative services, such as pelvic floor rehabilitation, lymphatic drainage massage, vestibular and balance, and hand therapy, as well as sports medicine and orthopedic physical therapy.
Physical Therapy For Pregnancy and Motherhood
It’s hard to plan for what to expect in the different transition phases from preparing for pregnancy, being pregnant and motherhood. Each has its challenges, and many times, various health issues or concerns result from pregnancy, labor and delivery. Our specialist at Crest Physical Therapy is available to help you through your physical challenges, such as pelvic pain, pain in your lower back and urinary incontinence due to pregnancy.
These are conditions that are common with pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. At least one-third of women will experience a pelvic floor dysfunction. Over time, due to stress, scar tissue, surgeries and the natural course of aging, our pelvic floor muscles may become weak or overstressed and can spasm. This can lead to pain, weakness, incontinence or decreased quality of life. At Crest Physical Therapy, our certified pelvic floor specialist identifies and addresses the multiple contributing factors of pelvic floor dysfunction, utilizing an individually designed and specific treatment regimen to meet each patient’s needs.
Please contact our West Long Branch office to schedule an appointment for treatment.
Breastfeeding and Physical Therapy
Breastfeeding your little comes with its own set of challenges from neck and shoulder pain to clogged ducts. Find relief with Crest Physical Therapy. Our team will customize a treatment plan to help decrease body aches and pains through manual therapy techniques, therapeutic exercise, and postural re-education. We also have certified lymphedema specialist that can provide manual lymph drainage therapy and therapeutic ultrasound for moms who are having difficulty with breastfeeding due to clogged ducts.
Please contact our West Long Branch office to schedule an appointment for treatment.
Infants, Torticollis and Physical Therapy
Crest Physical Therapy works with children as young as infants who have torticollis. Torticollis is a tightening of a child’s neck muscles that causes the head to tilt to one side and turn to the other side. Our skilled pediatric physical therapist will perform a comprehensive assessment and develop an individualized treatment program. Treatment typically includes physical therapy sessions with localized strengthening and stretching exercises that increase a baby’s neck range of motion, as well as educating parents on what to do at home to help.
Please contact our Manasquan office to schedule an appointment for treatment.
