Pre & Post Natal Physiotherapy Care

What is pre- and post-natal physiotherapy?

Pre- and post-natal physiotherapy focuses on supporting women during pregnancy and after childbirth. Treatment aims to manage pain, improve strength and stability, support pelvic health, and guide safe return to exercise through personalised rehabilitation programs.

What conditions can pre- and post-natal physiotherapy help with?

Pre- and post-natal physiotherapy can assist with lower back pain, pelvic girdle pain, hip pain, abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti), postural discomfort, and recovery following childbirth. Programs are tailored to each stage of pregnancy or post-partum recovery.

Is it safe to exercise during pregnancy?

Yes, when guided appropriately. Our physiotherapists design safe, individualised exercise programs that support strength, mobility, and core control during pregnancy. Exercises are modified based on trimester, symptoms, and medical guidance to ensure safety for both mother and baby.

When can I start physiotherapy after giving birth?

Many women can begin gentle physiotherapy and rehabilitation soon after birth, depending on individual circumstances and medical advice. An assessment allows your physiotherapist to guide safe recovery, rebuild strength, and support gradual return to exercise and daily activities.

Do I need a referral for pre- or post-natal physiotherapy?

No referral is required for private pre- or post-natal physiotherapy appointments. You can book directly with our team for an assessment and personalised treatment plan.
