Looking to keep fit and healthy both during and after your pregnancy as you adjust to your changing and growing body?
Pregnancy or prenatal physiotherapy provides pain relief for the main pain points that can occur in your body when you are pregnant, while also keeping your baby safe and sound.
Our postnatal physiotherapy treatments include a tailored pelvic floor exercise program that is very effective in reducing postnatal urinary incontinence, which one in three women who have had a baby will experience at some stage in their lives.
Pregnancy and postnatal conditions we treat
Our women’s health and continence physiotherapists can help you to prevent, manage and improve pregnancy and postnatal conditions in the pregnancy and postnatal period such as:
- Antenatal conditions – low back pain and carpal tunnel syndrome
- Back, neck and coccyx pain
- Breast conditions such as blocked ducts or obstructive mastitis
- Postnatal conditions – pelvic floor weakness, neck, back or perineal pain, 6 week check up
- Pelvic girdle dysfunction (sacro-iliac and pubic symphysis joints)
- Post natal recovery of perineal pain and pelvic floor dysfunction
- Pre/Post surgery – anterior/posterior wall repair, caesarean delivery
Physiotherapy services for women in the pre and post natal period
The other prenatal and postnatal services we offer women include:
Individually tailored pelvic floor exercise programs
Pregnancy exercise prescription
Preparation and recovery from gynaecological or breast surgery, e.g. lymphedema or restricted movement after breast surgery
