Marianne was mentioned in an article in Parenting.com by the Health Editor of the magazine who was being treated by us during her pregnancy

To try to ease the pain, then, I'm now forcing myself to sit -- or lie -- on my couch as much as I can when I'm not at work, I've gotten a few prenatal massages (which have been heavenly and healing), and, at my midwife's recommendation, I've been going to a physical therapist, Marianne Ryan-Swanson at MRPT Physical Therapy, who specializes in pre- and postnatal issues. The good news is that I think these things are helping. My thighs actually feel a little better right now. I'm not saying I'm going to run a marathon tomorrow -- in fact, I now limit all unnecessary movement -- but I think the concept of slowing down and taking care of myself is paying off. Who knew? I'm annoyed with myself that it took this much pain for me to acknowledge what my body needed, but now I'm seriously focused on feeling as rested and pain-free as I can before I begin the true marathon: Labor and new mommyhood.
