Centralia, IL (September 10, 2024) - Pregnancy can significantly impact a woman’s body, but Alexandria Venhaus, PT, DPT, is here to help. As a certified Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist (PCES) and a Pelvic Health expert, Alex provides relief to expectant and new mothers.
“As a mother, I know first hand how challenging pregnancy can be on the body. Because of this, I aimed to broaden my physical therapy services to ensure new moms receive the care they need to feel comfortable and supported,” says Alex. “The pregnancy and post-partum journey looks different for every person. My goal is to ensure that all the amazing mamas feel valued, heard, and respected with their individual goals put at the center of the treatment no matter what age or stage on that journey. Whether your goal is to be able to lift your child without pain, walk a mile, or run a marathon I am passionate about creating a plan to help you achieve that!"
Alex specializes in addressing common pregnancy-related issues such as sciatica, abdominal separation, pelvic organ prolapses, and urinary incontinence. She collaborates with her patients to create personalized, safe, and effective exercise plans tailored to their unique needs.
