At Functionize Health & Physical Therapy, our one-on-one postpartum physical therapy sessions are built around you: 50 full minutes with a licensed clinician, a root-cause plan, and a team that treats you like a whole person, not just a set of symptoms. Ready to feel strong, confident, and fully yourself again?
Postpartum Recovery Shouldn't Feel Like a Guessing Game
Too many new moms are told to "just rest" or "give it time" — only to find that leaking, pain, and weakness linger months after delivery. You deserve better than that.
You're Still in Pain Months Later
You're Leaking, and No One Told You That's Treatable
Low back pain, pelvic pressure, or hip aches that were brushed off at your 6-week check-up haven't gone away on their own — and they won't without addressing the root cause.
Stress urinary incontinence and pelvic floor dysfunction are common after childbirth, but they are not inevitable. Most women are never told that specialized pelvic PT can resolve these issues entirely.
You Feel Rushed, Dismissed, or Lost in the System
Insurance-driven care often means 15-minute appointments and generic handouts. If you've left a provider feeling unheard, you're not alone — and you're not stuck.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you want to know before your first postpartum PT session in Dunwoody.
Do you accept insurance?
We are a cash-based, private-pay practice — meaning you pay us directly and we are not in-network with insurance providers. This frees your care from visit limits, productivity quotas, and cookie-cutter treatment protocols. Many clients find that focused, one-on-one cash-based PT resolves their issues faster and more completely than traditional insurance-driven care. We can provide a superbill upon request for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
What is a Free Discovery Call?
It's a no-pressure, 15-minute phone conversation with our team. You share what you're experiencing, ask any questions, and we help determine whether Functionize is the right fit for you — at no cost and with no commitment required.
How is postpartum physical therapy different from regular PT?
Postpartum PT addresses the specific physical changes that occur during pregnancy and delivery, including pelvic floor dysfunction, diastasis recti (abdominal separation), C-section scar tissue, hormonal ligament laxity, and postural changes from nursing and carrying your baby. Our therapists are trained in internal pelvic floor techniques and women's health — going far beyond what a general PT visit typically covers.
When can I start postpartum physical therapy?
Many women can begin certain forms of pelvic PT and gentle movement work earlier than the traditional 6-week clearance, depending on delivery type and symptoms. We encourage you to reach out as soon as you feel ready — we'll guide you on timing during your Discovery Call.
Do you offer telehealth if I can't come in person?
Yes. For clients throughout the state of Georgia, we offer telehealth physical therapy via a HIPAA-compliant video platform. If in-person care is the best next step, we'll build a custom plan together after your virtual consultation.
