Pregnancy & Postnatal Physiotherapy

Specialist support for your body during pregnancy and recovery after birth.

Helping you move more comfortably, prepare for birth, and feel strong and supported in your body.

Through this work, many people experience:

• reduced pain and discomfort
• improved strength and stability
• greater confidence in their body
• smoother recovery after birth
• a safer return to exercise

What this work is

Pregnancy and the postnatal period bring significant physical changes to the body.

As your body adapts, you may experience discomfort, pain, or uncertainty around movement and recovery.

Physiotherapy during this time focuses on supporting your body through these changes — helping you stay comfortable during pregnancy and recover safely after birth.

During pregnancy, I can support with:

• Pelvic or lower back pain
• Hip pain
• Postural discomfort
• Muscle tension
• Preparation for birth
• Maintaining strength and mobility

After birth, I can support with:

• Postnatal recovery
• Core and pelvic floor rehabilitation
• Abdominal separation (diastasis recti)
• Returning to exercise safely
• Ongoing pain or discomfort

Who This is For

This service is suitable if you:

• are pregnant and experiencing discomfort or pain
• want to prepare your body for birth
• have recently given birth and want to recover safely

You don’t need to have a specific “problem” — this space is also for exploration, growth, and reconnection.
