The Benefits Of Postnatal Physio
Here at PelviCare, we are experts in women’s health, dedicated to the empowerment of our clients. We specialise in a range of different physiotherapies involving the pelvis, abdominal, and pelvic floor areas which can be especially important to strengthen after you give birth.
Our postnatal physiotherapy is designed to help you heal postpartum, supporting a faster rehabilitation so that you can get back to comfortably looking after your child and going about your daily routine with a greater sense of control.
After having a baby, most women have a weakness in either the abdominal or pelvic floor muscles. This muscular weakness creates instability and poor core strength, which can result in back pain, pelvic pain, bladder problems and bowel dysfunction that hinder your daily activities.
Some health professionals might see this weakness as an inevitable part of childbirth that cannot be fixed. However at PelviCare, with our postnatal physio treatments we have seen many clients gain back their strength and reverse the consequences of childbirth such as bladder problems and back pain after treatment.
Our Postnatal Physio Plans
During your initial assessment we will assess the strength, tone and function of your pelvic floor muscles and core (this is done with an external and an internal exam of the pelvic floor), and create a comprehensive individualised treatment plan that may include exercise, manual therapy, education and self-management of your symptoms.

We will then guide you through the postnatal physio therapy at your appointment, and train you on how to do exercises at home confidently and effectively. With regular appointments and exercises undertaken at home, you should start to feel your strength and confidence return - although as every patient is different we can’t guarantee a fixed duration of time in which a full recovery will occur.
