Tess Peters, PT, DPT, PCS
EMPOWERED BY BIRTH
I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy, board certified in pediatrics with a special interest and training in women’s health and perinatal pelvic floor therapy.
I’m also a birth doula in the Quad Cities and surrounding areas who has a passion for all things labor and delivery. As a doula and pelvic floor therapist, I approach pregnancy and postpartum with a unique view that encompasses all considerations when it comes to optimizing movement and function throughout pregnancy and motherhood.
I can provide an in depth, hands-on evaluation and create an individualized treatment plan to help you achieve optimal movement and function, prevent pain and injury and treat any current dysfunction and/or pain. Whether your goals are to reduce pain, improve bowel/bladder habits, build strength in your deep core and pelvic floor or simply optimize your breathing and pelvic floor in preparation for labor and delivery, I’m your girl!
My pediatric knowledge equips me to also care for newborns into childhood. My goal is to empower and prepare women for birth and provide postpartum support throughout motherhood.
