FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
While it is easier to start a program in a hospital that you work for, you do not have to be a therapist or work for the hospital that you wish to start a program in. Establishing a relationship with the maternal care team and rehab professionals in the facility is key to expanding earlier access to obstetric rehab services, yet you can drive this change as a doula, patient advocate, or non-healthcare professional.
Yes, we advocate for therapy and doula services to be accessible to anyone after any major pelvic procedure or birth. Doulas are not just professionals who support the perinatal population. Doulas serve an important role in the community through all phases of life, both at the beginning and at the end, and especially during a time where assistance is needed such as a major pelvic surgery (e.g. hysterectomy, cesarean section, prolapse repair, etc.) Therapists who traditionally wait 6 or more weeks prior to intervening after pelvic surgery understand that these are outdated practices that need to change. Doulas and therapists are vital members of a pelvic health network to enhance function and expedite recovery.
