MAMA BABY PT in Maple Grove and Vadnais Heights 

To address those first steps we walk together

1. Infant Care & Development

  • Feeding & Latch Function: Evaluating oral mechanics, tongue/lip mobility (tethered oral tissues/tongue-tie screening), suck-swallow-breathe coordination, and resolving painful latches or inefficient feeding.

  • Calming & Nervous System Regulation: Identifying body tension, over-arousal, gas, or colic symptoms; teaching body-based calming techniques and co-regulation strategies.

  • Torticollis & Head Preference: Assessing neck range of motion, head turn preference, and side-favoring during nursing or resting.

  • Plagiocephaly (Flat Head) Prevention: Monitoring skull shape and providing positioning strategies to prevent or address flat spots.

  • Motor Milestones & Tummy Time: Guiding age-appropriate tummy time routines, trunk control, rolling mechanics, and symmetry in movement.

  • Structural Bodywork & Tension: Releasing physical restrictions resulting from birth positioning, intrauterine constraint, or delivery interventions (vacuum, forceps, or C-section).

2. Postpartum Mom Care

  • Postpartum Movement & Biomechanics: Assessing posture, rib cage mobility, and movement patterns during everyday caregiving (lifting, carrying, holding, nursing).

  • Core & Pelvic Floor Function: Screening for diastasis recti (abdominal separation), pelvic girdle pain, low back strain, and core stabilization post-delivery.

  • Ergonomics for Feeding: Optimizing body alignment during breast/chestfeeding or bottle feeding to prevent neck, shoulder, and upper back strain.

  • Birth Recovery Support: Managing scar tissue mobility (C-section or perineal tears) and restoring functional core pressure regulation.

3. Integrated Dyad Support

  • Feeding Dynamics & Position Pairing: Finding optimal positions that combine baby's structural comfort with mom's physical ease.

  • Parenting Confidence & Home Strategies: Equipping parents with tailored home exercises, holding techniques, and soothing rhythms to carry into daily life.

“I absolutely loved my experience at Fixit PT. Mahtomedi is a beautiful location. The office was nicely done. Inviting yet professional. The staff is friendly. The staff listens intently to what your needs are and best yet! they deliver on fixing it. My hip has ached for years and within minutes the pain was subsiding and my range of motion was miraculously restored. I am completely sold on this technique. Other PT, chiropractic services helped, but this is actually fixing the problem. I am very grateful to have been lead to this group. I will continue to use their services.
