If you are pregnant now, your pregnancy is not looking how you imagined it would be. How could it? Pregnant during a pandemic. No one could have predicted the state our country would be in right now. There are so many unknowns and so much disappointment during what is supposed to be one of the most exciting times of your life. Everything from not knowing who will be able to support you during your baby’s birth to not being able to attend a prenatal yoga class and meet other moms-to-be.
Support during your pregnancy is ESSENTIAL. It breaks my heart that I cannot sit face to face to talk about your pregnancy and birth goals, help keep you pain free, and prepare your body for labor, birth, and postpartum. During this time, I am able to provide telehealth consults. While this would not replace an adjustment, acupuncture, or manual therapy (how cool would that be if it could?), but I am able to provide stretches, exercises, and other recommendations over a video consult. Email me directly to schedule a telehealth consult: drgesicki@clechiropractic.com . (These consults are available for most patients, not just pregnant patients.)
I am also excited to announce that my Health Pregnancy Online subscription is now available. This is something I have been dreaming up for about a year. I found myself repeating so many things with pregnant patients every day and not that I don’t love sharing what I know, but I felt that there could be a more efficient and cost effective way to do this! The cost is $17/month- less than most copays and you will get much more than I can provide in one visit or consult! Each month, 8 home workouts and a video lesson with PDF download and supplemental handout will be released. There is also a once a month virtual group coaching session and recipe index (coming soon…). While this is something I have been planning to do for a while, the time for this could not be more critical. Learn more about it here.
