Welcome to a new series about birth workers in Utah. If you’re new here, hi there, I’m Jessica and I’m a traveling newborn portrait photographer based in Utah County. In this series it’s my goal to interview people that work with pregnant, birthing, and new mothers to learn about their services and how they help their clients. For our next post I interviewed Dr. Betty DeLass of Reborn Pelvic Health & Wellness. Dr. DeLass has clinics in two locations: one in West Jordan and one in Lehi, Utah. The Physical Therapists at Reborn Pelvic Health & Wellness help women take care of their pelvic health including healing bowel and bladder dysfunction, endometriosis, fertility, pelvic pain, and conditions experienced in pregnancy or postpartum including diastasis recti, prolapse, pubic symphysis dysfunction, and more. Tell us about yourself and your business: I, Dr. Betty DeLass, PT, DPT, am the owner of Reborn Pelvic Health & Wellness and we have been in Utah for 3 years. We are specialized pelvic floor physical therapists. We have 2 locations: West Jordan and Lehi with 9 pelvic floor physical therapists. At our practice, we specialize in pelvic floor physical therapy and helping you achieve lasting relief from pelvic pain, sexual dysfunction, urinary and bowel conditions, orthopedic pelvic pain, and pre- and post-natal conditions. Our highly trained and licensed physical therapists are committed to providing personalized treatment plans and education to help you understand how to care for your body and prevent future injuries. We offer several treatment options and are here to support you every step of the way. Let us help you on your path to optimal health and wellness. What inspired you to start working in your field? I have always been passionate about women’s health and then after having my first child realized how much of a disservice we have with care in the United States. I got what I like to call “righteously angry” and decided to take matters in my own hands to change the way we deliver care before, during, after pregnancy and beyond! I was already working in pelvic health and then decided to start my own company. What is your philosophy on postpartum recovery and how do you support the new parent? We like to see people before pregnancy if they already have pelvic floor dysfunction. So if you have pain with tampon insertion, speculum exam, intercourse, painful periods, constipation, or low back/hip pain of any kind we like to see you before you get pregnant. Then during pregnancy we like to help out with the aches and pains that often present themselves, just because it is common doesn’t mean it is normal and often times we can alleviate and resolve unwanted symptoms that “pop-up” during pregnancy. Additionally, we like to help you prep for birth to make sure your body is in good alignment for baby to get into a good position and also to help prep your pelvic floor to be mobile and get out of the way for delivery. Then we see our patients postpartum to help with recovery and rehab from delivering a beautiful baby. We love getting our Moms back to doing things they love and helping them live their life to the fullest without guilt, shame or embarrassment of their pelvic health. We are here throughout the lifespan of your pelvis. It is never too early and it is never too late to address any pelvic health issue you have. How can hiring a physical therapist or physical therapist that focuses on your specialty help a new parent? What is the benefit of hiring someone with a specialty? Not all physical therapists are the same. You need specialized training for internal pelvic floor work to be a pelvic floor physical therapist. We also require to work at Reborn to have advanced course work in both pelvic health and dry needling. We often take students to train them and bring them up to speed with the advanced clinic work we are doing. How can I prepare for positive postpartum pelvic health before my baby is born? Making sure you have your “village” around you for support. Having an amazing pelvic floor physical therapist (like a provider at Reborn) will significantly help prep and prepare you for a positive postpartum experience. What are some common physical challenges postpartum mothers face, and how can they overcome them? Common things we help with in our clinic: Back pain, hip pain, SI joint pain, tailbone pain, painful periods, endometriosis, incontinence, prolapse, painful intercourse, diastasis recti, constipation, birth prep, postpartum recovery and return to activity as well as many more! We help you understand your body and become the expert of your own body so that you can live your life to the fullest without thinking about your pelvic floor. It is our honor and privilege to be able to help you along your journey! Can you provide guidance on exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor during pregnancy? What is a good resource for a beginner? We are big fans of functional movements like squats, lunges and deadlifts. Reason being, is that the pelvic floor doesn’t work in isolation, so we like to include it into other exercises that you can get the best bang for your buck. We recommend our online membership/app or coming in for an appointment for individualized care so that you can get as specific as possible in what you need for your unique body. Do you have any resources you can offer or recommend to help the expectant or postpartum parent? We have a ton of freebies on our website.

Give yourself grace during this beautiful transformation, it is hard and beautiful at the same time. Your body is resilient and it has the ability to heal far greater than anyone has permitted you to believe! Where can our readers find you?
