Why This Matters
Every new mother deserves access to the care they need to recover, heal, and thrive. Pelvic health physical therapy plays a critical role in postpartum recovery—but right now, access is limited.
H.R. 4074 (Optimizing Postpartum Outcomes Act of 2025) raises awareness and expands access to pelvic health PT nationwide. More access means:
🔓 Better outcomes for moms
🔓 Fewer costly interventions for families and taxpayers
🔓 A healthier start for the next generation
