Postnatal / Postpartum Physiotherapy for New Moms

What is Postnatal Physiotherapy?

Postnatal physiotherapy focuses on recovery after childbirth, treating conditions such as pelvic girdle pain, diastasis recti, incontinence, and pain caused by delivery-related trauma. It includes personalized care plans with targeted exercises and hands-on therapy to support healing and strength.

Common Conditions Treated

• Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP): Persistent pelvic pain after delivery.

• Diastasis Recti (DRAM): Abdominal muscle separation after pregnancy.

• Incontinence: Bladder or bowel control issues post-birth.

• Post-Delivery Pain: Pain from vaginal tears or episiotomies.

• Prolapse and Pain with Intercourse: Discomfort or pelvic organ prolapse after birth.

Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy

Pelvic floor rehabilitation is essential post-childbirth. Our physiotherapy supports recovery from trauma such as 3rd/4th-degree tears, instrumental deliveries, and second-degree tears with personalized pelvic floor strengthening programs. Endorsed by NICE guidelines, this treatment promotes bladder control and muscle recovery.

Incontinence Treatment

Urinary or fecal incontinence may be common but is treatable. Our programs focus on rebuilding pelvic strength with guided exercises and supportive lifestyle advice. Recovery is possible, and our goal is to get you back to full confidence—even jumping on a trampoline!

Recovery from Diastasis Recti (DRAM)

Diastasis recti is a common postpartum issue involving abdominal separation. Physiotherapy offers specific exercises and recovery strategies to close the gap, rebuild your core, and restore stability with professional support and guidance.

Postnatal Pelvic Girdle Pain

Pelvic girdle or lower back pain after childbirth can linger. Our pelvic health physiotherapist uses manual therapy, targeted exercises, and education to relieve discomfort and help restore mobility and quality of life.
