Building a Supportive Postpartum Village

Dr. Heather Salzer // #ICEPelvic // www.ptonice.com

In today's episode of the PT on ICE Daily Show, ICE Pelvic division faculty member Heather Salzer discusses essential postpartum resources to help clients thrive during the challenging first year after childbirth. Drawing from her personal experience as well as her professional background, Heather emphasizes the importance of building a supportive community in the postpartum period, especially as traditional family support may be less accessible. She highlights the crucial role of lactation consultants, recommending that new mothers seek follow-up support beyond what is available in the hospital. Heather aims to equip listeners with practical tools and strategies to enhance postpartum care and community support for new parents.
