How We Help

A gradual approach to postpartum recovery

I

Pain & Movement Assessment

We assess how pain, weakness or movement limitations are affecting daily activities such as walking, sitting, lifting and caring for your baby.

II

Core & Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation

Individualized exercises can help restore abdominal and pelvic floor function, improve coordination and gradually rebuild strength according to your symptoms and recovery stage.

III

Gradual Return to Activity

Your programme can progress from basic daily movement towards strengthening and exercise as your body recovers and your symptoms allow.

Comfortable positioning and appropriate support can help reduce unnecessary strain on the neck, shoulders and back during feeding.

Daily Movement

Regular gentle movement and changing positions can help you gradually return to normal daily activities without unnecessarily overloading painful areas.

Returning to Exercise

Exercise should be reintroduced progressively. Your physiotherapist can help determine appropriate starting points and progression based on your recovery and symptoms.

A Note on Recovery

Postpartum recovery takes time. Persistent or worsening pain, pelvic floor symptoms, wound concerns or difficulty returning to normal activities should be discussed with your doctor, midwife or an appropriately trained physiotherapist.

Please Read

When postpartum pain needs medical attention

Some symptoms after childbirth require medical assessment rather than routine physiotherapy. Seek prompt medical advice if you notice:

Sudden or very heavy vaginal bleeding
Fever or feeling unwell with abdominal pain
A painful, swollen or red calf
Chest pain or difficulty breathing
Severe or worsening headache with visual changes
Wound or perineal concerns, swelling or discharge
This information is for general awareness and does not replace assessment or advice from your obstetrician, midwife, doctor or other qualified healthcare professional.
FAQs

Postpartum pain, answered.

Is postpartum pain normal? +
Some soreness, fatigue and physical changes are expected after childbirth. However, persistent, severe or worsening pain should be assessed rather than simply accepted as part of recovery.
When can I start physiotherapy after childbirth? +
The appropriate timing depends on your delivery, symptoms, healing and medical history. Gentle recovery activities may begin early, while more specific rehabilitation and exercise progression should be individualized.
Can physiotherapy help after a C-section? +
Yes. Postnatal physiotherapy can support recovery after caesarean birth, including movement guidance, gradual strengthening and return to activity, while respecting wound healing and medical advice.
Can physiotherapy help with bladder leakage after childbirth? +
Pelvic floor physiotherapy can assess pelvic floor function and, when appropriate, provide a supervised and individualized pelvic floor muscle training programme.
What if I still have pelvic or back pain after delivery? +
Ongoing pelvic or back pain deserves assessment. Some pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain improves after birth, but a proportion of women continue to experience symptoms and may benefit from further treatment.
Can I return to exercise after childbirth? +
Yes, but the return should be gradual and appropriate to your recovery. Your physiotherapist can help you progress from basic movement and strengthening towards more demanding exercise.
