Sponsor's own description
Data shows us that injury risk increases in the first year postpartum. There is a paucity of literature regarding MSK injuries in postpartum military women. A unique challenge that postpartum service members face is the increased stress of training for and having to pass a physical fitness test directly tied to their career advancement. While there is epidemiological data across multiple branches of service, there is a gap in the literature in terms of how to appropriately address these decreased fitness levels and better understand the root causes. American College of Gynecology (ACOG) recommends that the postpartum visit include actionable information on return to physical activity. However, a large majority of women report receiving no guidance on how to engage in physical activity during pregnancy and in the postpartum period. Physical therapy is commonly used to help individuals return to physical activity following orthopaedic surgeries, but it is not frequently utilized to assist the postpartum population in progressing back to physical activity. Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists (OMPTs) are uniquely trained to address musculoskeletal symptoms and progress physical activity. An OMPT evaluation and treatment could facilitate increased physical activity and improve health-related quality of life, supporting the ACOG recommendation to make postpartum care an ongoing multidisciplinary process.
