At my six-week follow-up appointment after my third child birth, I was diagnosed with diastasis recti. I did some research for a pelvic floor therapist and came across the Bump Fit Physical Therapy instagram page. Sigri offered a free workshop at a local yoga studio and from there we connected to begin my rehab journey. Sigri's bedside manner is very easygoing, yet professional, and she answered any questions or concerns I had throughout the process. I definitely felt my core strengthen after just 2-3 sessions, and she provided me with some exercises and stretches that gave me immediate pain relief. My recommendation is to definitely use the services of Bump Fit Physical Therapy if you are experiencing any discomfort prenatal and/or postnatal. There is no need to settle for the aches and pains of pregnancy and/or the fourth trimester. Let Sigri guide you toward relief so that you can live the best version of yourself in motherhood.gage your audience and get them to click.

Sigri is fantastic. I saw Sigri after having my second son in the beginning of COVID, between having a baby, toddler out of school for several months, and not being able to get to the gym, I was unable to bounce back like I had after my first. Ten months into my postpartum period I realized that I had DR, and needed someone who could work with my schedule and limited childcare options. Sigri came to my home on a weekly basis and worked with me in our home gym. I started to feel better after my first session and quickly saw results in the subsequent weeks. While I am not quite back to where I was, I notice my strength coming back and now have the confidence to return to my old exercise routine without fear of injury or making my DR worse. I would recommend Sigri to anyone regardless of where they are in their postpartum journey. She is a gem!

I cant not say enough good things about Sigri and Bump Fit Physical Therapy!!! I have 3 kids, 5 and under and let's just say my body isnt what it use to be. After about a year of putting myself on the back-burner, I decided I needed to do something for me and a big part of that was trying to fix some of the problems I was left with after delivering 3 babies. I was dealing with a pretty deep and wide diastasis recti gap, urinary incontinence from prolapsed bladder, and lower back pain (from a work related injury). I reached out to Sigri through a FB birth workers group we're both in, timid and nervous about starting and trying to fix what seemed to me insurmountable issues, but Sigri calmed all those nerves. She has been an absolute dream to work with. We did an initial consult, with my kiddos screaming in the background and I never felt judged on the chaos then or at any of our other visits. We talked through a plan and then met weekly. She was willing to travel a bit further than normal to meet at my house for visits. We did a mix of in-person and virtual visits, each week, building on exercises to help strengthen my lower back, pelvic floor and abdominal muscles. After a little over 4mo of working with Bump Fit, I've made awesome progress. The diastasis recti gap has closed significantly, lower abdominal muscles are closed and I feel strength in my core that I've been missing since baby #2. The urinary incontinence issues I was dealing with (leaking when jumping, dancing, fast walking, laughing too hard, and just randomly) are drastically better!! The only time I deal with urinary incontinence issues now is with jumping and even then, if I take time to set myself, do the breathing exercises and control my pelvic floor and abdominal muscles, I can jump with no issues. The exercises have also tremendously helped when I'm dealing with lower back issues. If you're questioning whether or not you need these types of services, dont, reach out to Sigri and Bump Fit TODAY, and work on yourself. I was sad when I "graduated" from her program, but that meant I had done the work to fix the issues I was having. Forever grateful to Sigri!!!
