Postpartum Return to Run Program in Portland, Maine

“Steady State has quite literally changed my life. For over 5 years I was struggling with pelvic floor dysfunction and never found the right way to manage it- until physical therapy with Steady State. I tried everything there was in those 5 years, even went to a different PT. But Steady State goes above and beyond.

If you are also struggling with pelvic floor dysfunction, you need to go to Steady State. Almost 1 year working with them and I am the strongest I have ever been, I am more comfortable and confident in my body, and I no longer let PFD take over. I cannot recommend this place enough! Oh- and the entire staff are some of the nicest people you will ever meet.”

"I saw Ashten early on in my pregnancy with a goal to remain physically active and fit but do so in a safe way. She gave me a great prenatal workout plan specific to my goals and needs, and in doing so my fears of "working out the wrong way" washed away. She helped me recognize my areas of strengths and weaknesses as well.

Halfway through my second trimester I started to suffer from severe pain in my left hip and had a terrible limp- Ashten was quick to help me and diagnosed me with pelvic girdle pain (something that can occur during pregnancy). She listened to all of my concerns and gave me exercises to help strengthen my core and lower back which were undergoing many changes due to pregnancy. She even taught me how to properly get in and out of bed and move smarter while accomplishing daily tasks.

After a couple of weeks of consistently doing the exercises Ashten gave me, my hip pain went from an 8 to nearly a 2!! And now, at 32 weeks pregnant I can honestly say I feel the best I have so far and am still very active! Ashten is more than a physical therapist, she is a true, devoted friend who wants the absolute best for everyone and won't stop until you get there! Thank you, Ashten!"

 

 

"I started seeing Ashten almost 1.5 years ago initially for pelvic floor PT. She was amazing and I noticed differences within a few months.

As we progressed, my running was able to progress and she helped me with strength training, marathon training, and I was able to run a marathon this spring and qualify for Boston. She helped my legs get stronger to prevent old injuries from flaring that has halted marathon training every time I’ve tried to start. I recommend Steady State to anyone!"
