How physiotherapy can help after birth

If you’re in pain, noticing changes in your pelvic health or unsure about exercise, we can assess what’s happening and talk through what may help.

Returning to movement and exercise

We’ll look at the activities you want to get back to, from carrying your baby comfortably to running or going to the gym. Your exercises will be adapted to your symptoms and recovery.

Pre-crawling babies are welcome at your appointment. There’s time to pause for feeding, changing or settling.

Frequently asked questions

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.
