Postnatal Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy support for postnatal recovery, core strength, pelvic health, scar recovery and return to movement.

This is for women who want support after birth, whether you are a few weeks, months or years postnatal. We can look at pain, pelvic symptoms, abdominal separation, C-section recovery, weakness, movement confidence and getting back to exercise safely.

What this is

What is Postnatal Physiotherapy?

Postnatal physiotherapy supports your physical recovery after pregnancy and birth. It can help you understand what your body needs, what is normal, and what can be improved with the right treatment, rehab and guidance.

You might be dealing with back or pelvic pain, pelvic floor symptoms, abdominal separation, scar tightness, weakness, leaking, heaviness, or uncertainty around exercise. Your assessment gives us time to understand what is going on and agree a plan that fits your stage of recovery.

Common reasons

Common reasons women book

Back, hip or pelvic pain

Pain or discomfort after birth that has not settled, or keeps returning with feeding, lifting, walking or exercise.

Core weakness

Feeling weak, disconnected or unsure how to rebuild strength through your core, back or pelvis.

Not knowing what exercise is safe, when to progress, or how to return to running, gym work, Pilates or sport.

Support with abdominal separation, coning, core control and rebuilding confidence in your tummy area.

Pelvic health symptoms

Support with leaking, heaviness, pelvic pressure, bladder symptoms, pelvic pain or pelvic floor concerns.

FAQs

Postnatal Physiotherapy FAQs

Is this suitable if I’m only a few weeks postpartum?

It can be, depending on how you are feeling and what you need. Early postnatal appointments can be gentle, with support for comfort, feeding positions, breathing, scar care, pelvic health, movement and understanding what feels right to start with.

Is it still worth booking if I had my baby months or years ago?

Definitely. It does not need to be recent to matter. Pain, leaking, heaviness, scar tightness, abdominal weakness or feeling unsure about exercise can still be supported months or years after birth.

Do I need pelvic floor symptoms to book?

Not at all. Postnatal physiotherapy can help with much more than pelvic floor symptoms. You might want support with back pain, hip pain, abdominal separation, C-section recovery, lifting, carrying, posture, weakness or getting back to exercise.

I had a C-section. Can this help?

C-section recovery is a very common reason women book. We can look at scar comfort, abdominal strength, lifting confidence, movement, posture and how to return to exercise gradually. Scar work is always explained first and only done with your consent.

Can this help me return to exercise?

We can look at where your body is now, what you want to get back to, and how to build up in a way that feels realistic. The aim is to help you feel stronger and more confident, without feeling like you are guessing.
