Occupational therapy in the hospital after birth


Listen Later

Meeting Royce Porter, OTR/L was a game changer. Not only does he provide occupational therapy to women in the hospital after birth and hysterectomy, he addresses postpartum depression and mental health concerns related to an unexpected surgery as early as day one of recovery.

As a practicing therapist in both the hospital and outpatient settings, he sees no reason for women to wait 6 or more weeks for rehabilitation services that are provided routinely to people after other common procedures like joint replacement.

To find more U.S. hospitals like the one Royce Porter is trailblazing in that are providing OT and PT on the maternity unit and after hysterectomy, visit: https://pelvichealthnetwork.org/hospitals/
