The initial pregnancy plan visit is $280.  During this visit, the therapist performs an initial assessment, discusses your health goals during pregnancy (and after), and evaluates any risk factors that may be present. You will receive an individual exercise plan and the therapist provides an initial treatment.  The pregnancy plan continues throughout your pregnancy and for 3 months post-delivery.  Our clients participating in the Pregnancy Plan pay a discounted rate of $132/visit for as many visits as they need within the time frame of the plan.
