MSK & Pelvic Pain Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy for back, hip, pelvic and general aches and pains, including pregnancy and postnatal-related discomfort.
This is for women dealing with pain, stiffness, tension or niggles that affect daily life, movement, exercise or sleep. We can look at what is contributing to your symptoms and build a practical plan using treatment, movement, rehab and strength work.
What this is
What is MSK & Pelvic Pain Physiotherapy?
MSK physiotherapy looks at muscles, joints, movement, strength and how your body is coping with daily load. It can help with back pain, hip pain, pelvic pain, neck and shoulder tension, sciatica-type symptoms, joint aches and ongoing niggles.
At Coastly, this support is women-focused. That means we can also consider pregnancy, postnatal recovery, pelvic health, hormones, scars, core function and return to exercise where they are relevant to your pain.

Understand
We start by talking through your symptoms, history, daily routine and what makes the pain better or worse. This helps me understand the bigger picture, not just where it hurts.
Assess
We look at the movements, strength, positions or activities linked to your symptoms. This may include your back, hips, pelvis, posture, balance, lifting, walking or exercise tolerance.
Treat & plan
We agree a plan that may include hands-on treatment, rehab exercises, strength work, movement changes, pacing advice or follow-up support if needed.

FAQs
MSK & Pelvic Pain FAQ’s
What kind of pain can this help with?
This service is for back, hip, pelvic, rib, neck, shoulder or general aches and pains. It can also be helpful if pain keeps coming back, feels linked to pregnancy or postnatal recovery, or is affecting how you move day to day.
Is this suitable during pregnancy?
Pregnancy-related pain can be supported with physiotherapy, including back pain, hip pain, pelvic girdle pain and discomfort with walking, stairs or sleeping. The appointment is adapted around your pregnancy stage, symptoms and comfort.
What if I’ve had this pain for a long time?
Longer-term pain is still worth looking at. We can talk through your history, what tends to flare it, how it affects daily life, and what might help you build strength, confidence and better movement over time.
Will the appointment be hands-on?
It may include hands-on treatment if that feels useful and appropriate. It may also include movement assessment, strength work, advice, exercises or changes to daily habits. The session is built around what your body needs, not a fixed formula.
Can I bring my baby?
Pre-crawling babies are welcome at the home clinic. The appointment can pause for feeding, changing or settling, so you do not need to worry if your baby needs you during the session.
