Physiotherapy prevents, manages and improves many conditions commonly experienced by women during the pre and post natal period.

Pregnancy and childbirth places physical strain on a woman’s body, weakening the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles which contributes to:

• 50% of pregnant women experiencing back pain.

• Incontinence in 1 in 3 women who have had a baby.

Research has demonstrated a tailored pelvic floor exercise program is effective in reducing postnatal urinary incontinence.

Services include treatment and advice for:

• Pelvic Instability (sacro-iliac and pubic symphysis joints).

• Back, neck and coccyx pain.

• Carpal tunnel and wrist pain.

• Individualised pelvic floor exercise programs.

• Specific exercise modification for weakened abdominals and general fitness programs.

• Childbirth education on an individual, couple or group basis.

• Instruction in use of T.E.N.S. for labour.

• Post natal recovery of perineal and pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms.

• Breast conditions such as blocked ducts or obstructive mastitis.

Don’t let physical discomforts reduce your enjoyment of pregnancy and motherhood
