The loss of a baby before birth is a heartbreak that no parent should have to face. The grief from a stillborn birth can be overwhelming—felt physically, emotionally, and mentally—and often, the road to healing feels unclear.
At Activcore, we understand that the pain of stillbirth affects more than just your heart; it impacts your body, too. Many women are told to “move on” or “try again,” but the truth is, grief needs space. So does your body.
If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, you are in the right place!
Many women silently suffer with anxiety, grief, or physical pain after a stillbirth because their healthcare providers don’t know there are natural, holistic ways to support the body. Instead, they’re often told…
The Truth Is...
It can be overwhelming to decide what to do if you’ve experienced a stillborn loss. You’ve likely heard a lot of options, such as…
It’s overwhelming to try to make a decision with all these choices…what will happen if you don’t make the right one?
Most people get stuck trying to make a decision about what to do next. They go days, weeks (even months!) without taking action or they give up on breastfeeding altogether because they’re just too overwhelmed with what to do.
When it comes to supporting women through something as serious as a stillborn loss...
You must choose the right provider for your health and well being. If you don’t, you could end up feeling stuck and not knowing where to turn or who to ask for help, or being dependent on pills the rest of your life (that don’t do anything but mask the underlying hurt).
Getting the “least-invasive”, most natural treatment is VITAL to you feeling the best you can during the time following your loss and preparing your body to conceive again in the future.
To do that, you have to not just treat the pain, but have a provider who is willing to hold space for healing for you, to help you process big emotions and listen to your story. A provider to guide you through the steps to HEAL from it so you can feel at peace and prepare your body if you plan to conceive again.
Our 3 step process to help you heal from a stillborn AND make sure you feel the best you can moving forward.
Step #1 - We Want To Listen To Your Story
Our healthcare system can be frustrating. You wait weeks, sometimes months, for an appointment, only to see the doctor for 10 minutes before they rush off to the next patient, leaving you wondering, “What just happened?”
Unfortunately most physical therapy clinics operate this way. They’re fast-paced, not attentive, and most therapists aren’t equipped to help you heal from a stillborn loss. It requires special training, a safe healing space, and a gentle approach.
That’s why our first step is to listen to your story.
Having worked with many women following a stillborn loss, we know that no two stories are the same. Each person has a different body, a different history, and a unique way of processing and healing from such a traumatic experience.
That’s why we take the time to sit down with you and truly listen to what you’re going through, not just in terms of your body, but also how it’s affecting your life.
Step #2 - Find Out How Best To Support You and Create a Safe Healing Space for You
Many women feel guilty after a stillborn loss, thinking they should have done something to prevent it. Chances are, you did nothing wrong.
Trauma and grief are difficult to navigate, and it takes a special provider to offer the support and guidance needed to heal.
You might have been told that your only options are to let time pass, rest, take medication, or talk to someone about it.
Sometimes, these things bring temporary relief, but they don’t address the root cause of the pain or the feelings of grief and anxiety in the first place.
Every woman processes a stillborn loss in her own way. No one has the exact same experience, and no one’s body responds in exactly the same way.
At The Healing Spot Physical Therapy, our goal is to support you in processing your grief and help prepare your body if you plan to conceive again in the future.
We can help your body release stress responses and allow you to feel safe and calm again, so you can create a loving space for the pregnancy you envision. The mind-body complex can store trauma in the form of a “Fight,” “Flight,” or “Freeze” response for months, years, or even indefinitely. Our goal is to help release that trauma so you can move forward with peace.
STEP #3 - Get rid of the pain and keep it from coming back
This is when the big transformations occur. Depending on your specific situation, we will develop a personalized plan that allows you to…
You get exactly the care you need at Activcore. Regardless of the program, our best clients are those who are motivated and ready to reclaim their active lifestyle. (Even if they feel stuck right now!)
You don’t have to sacrifice the activities or relationships you love over trauma and overwhelming experiences that can be healed.
"I have been so happy with the Activcore experience. My physical therapist helped me immensely with my bladder and pelvic floor issues. She was upbeat and encouraging, easy to talk to, and never made me feel uncomfortable even discussing very private matters. I looked forward to our therapy sessions and have sung her praises to many of my friends. Activcore changed my life!"
