SUMMARY:What Happens When Recovery Waits 6 Weeks? How Early OT and PT Can Support Mental Health After Traumatic Birth
DESCRIPTION:What Happens When Recovery Waits 6 Weeks? How Early OT and PT Can Support Mental Health After Traumatic Birth\nMost patients after traumatic birth are discharged from the hospital without occupational or physical therapy. If postpartum rehab is recommended at all\, they’re told to wait six weeks or more. In that early window\, the hardest parts of recovery happen alone.  \nPelvic pressure. Tailbone pain. Incontinence. Neck\, back\, and shoulder discomfort from hours of feeding. Lactation challenges. Sleep deprivation. Partner fatigue. Hypertension. Uncertainty about what’s normal and what isn’t. Growing distress that has nowhere to go.  \n128 hospitals have decided that’s not acceptable.  \nFrom rural to large metropolitan health systems\, 128 maternity hospitals offer OT and PT to address functional recovery during postpartum admission. Therapists visit mothers in their room\, while holding their baby\, with their families present\, to develop a recovery plan after an unexpected birth event. Mothers share what they feel is needed before they go home\, before questions compound\, before complications grow into anxiety that affect their mental health\, and before they spend 6 weeks wondering if what they feel is their fault.  \nJoin Rebeca Segraves\, PT\, DPT\, PWCS and Jenna Segraves\, PT\, DPT\, NCS\, co-founders of Enhanced Recovery After Delivery®\, for a live discussion and Q&A on what early OT and PT actually changes for postpartum women. Learn how inpatient and outpatient practitioners and practice owners are building the referral pathways to reach moms sooner.  \nWe’ll talk about the clinical model\, the scheduling structures that work inside and outside of the hospital\, and the one thing you can do in your practice to stop waiting for a referral that was never coming.  \nThis event is for the therapist who knows this is your pathway to build. If you’re watching patients get referred to rehab months after birth\, wondering why no one told them sooner\, it’s time to accept that you’re the only clinician who’s going to change it. \n Build something that meets mothers where they actually are.  \nJoin Live. \nREGISTER HERE
