If you are struggling with persistent lower back ache or pelvic stiffness after pregnancy, this service offers a structured plan with gentle movement and practical day-to-day strategies.
What is Postnatal Back & Pelvic Pain?
After birth, the abdominal wall, deep core, and pelvic floor are still recovering while lifting, feeding, and carrying a baby add repeated load through the lower back and pelvis. This can reduce lumbopelvic stability and lead to ongoing back ache, pelvic weakness, or pain during everyday tasks.
