Pelvic Floor & Infant Physical Therapy in Costa Mesa
Costa Mesa families can see Dr. Avonlea at her office inside C+C MotherKin — or she comes to you. Two ways to access expert postpartum and infant PT, right here in your community.
What Is Pelvic Floor & Infant PT?
Pelvic floor physical therapy is specialized, hands-on care for the muscles, nerves, and connective tissue that support the bladder, uterus, and bowel through pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum recovery. It goes well beyond what the 6-week clearance checks — addressing the root cause of leaking, pelvic organ prolapse, pain with sex, diastasis recti, pelvic pain (including SIJ dysfunction and SPD), C-section scar recovery, and perineal tear recovery.
Infant physical therapy addresses early movement challenges in babies — torticollis (neck tightness and head tilt), plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome), difficulty with tummy time, and motor milestone delays in rolling and crawling. Early treatment leads to faster and more complete outcomes.
Dr. Avonlea Brown, DPT, specializes in both — and Costa Mesa families have a unique advantage: two ways to access that care. Her office is located right here in Costa Mesa at C+C MotherKin (3185 Airway Ave, Suite E2) — a warm, welcoming wellness community for mothers and families. She also offers in-home visits throughout Costa Mesa for those who prefer care at home.

How We Treat It
Costa Mesa families have two ways to work with Dr. Avonlea — and both offer the same 55-minute, one-on-one sessions and the same quality of care.
In-office at C+C MotherKin (3185 Airway Ave, Suite E2, Costa Mesa, CA 92646): A warm, family-friendly wellness community — not a cold clinical space. Dr. Avonlea's office is designed with mothers and babies in mind. In-office sessions are available for both pelvic floor PT and infant PT. Parking is accessible and easy to navigate with a stroller or infant carrier.
In-home visits throughout Costa Mesa: Dr. Avonlea comes to you. For infant PT especially, in-home sessions allow her to observe the mat where tummy time happens, the equipment your baby spends time in, and the real-world context of your daily routine — making her guidance far more specific and practical.
For moms, treatment includes hands-on manual therapy, scar mobilization, pelvic floor rehabilitation, and core reconnection. For babies, treatment is gentle, playful, and parent-involved, with a detailed home program for between visits. She can often treat mom and baby in the same extended visit.
