Women's Health, Pregnancy & Postpartum Physiotherapy
Our Services
Preconception Readiness Assessments
Planning for pregnancy? We're here to help you feel informed, confident and supported before your journey begins. Our preconception assessments explore pelvic floor function, core strength, movement and any existing concerns, including previous birth injuries or pelvic health symptoms. Together, we'll create an individualised plan to help you feel strong, comfortable and prepared as you move towards pregnancy.
Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy
Pregnancy and postpartum can bring plenty of aches, pains and changes to your body. From back and pelvic pain to headaches, sciatica and muscular discomfort, we're here to help. Through hands-on treatment, education and individualised exercises, we aim to help you move more comfortably and confidently throughout pregnancy and beyond.
Labour & Birth Preparation
Feel informed, confident and supported as you prepare for birth. Through hands-on treatment, movement, pelvic floor preparation and education, we'll help you understand your body and explore practical techniques and positions for labour and birth. We'll also discuss what to expect in the first 6 weeks postpartum, helping you feel prepared and supported for both birth and early recovery.
Postpartum Physiotherapy
Your recovery matters, too. From around 6 weeks postpartum, our assessments provide a supportive space to discuss your birth and recovery, addressing concerns such as abdominal separation, pelvic floor dysfunction, bladder and bowel changes, prolapse symptoms and C-section scar recovery. We also offer return to exercise assessments, helping you rebuild strength and confidently return to the activities you love.
Return to Exercise Assessments
Ready to get back to the movement you love? From around 4 months postpartum, our return to exercise assessments help you prepare for higher-impact and higher-intensity activities, such as running and weightlifting. We'll assess your pelvic floor function, core strength and movement, helping you understand where your body is at and create an individualised plan to return to exercise safely and confidently.
General Pelvic Health
Pelvic health is about so much more than pregnancy and postpartum. From pelvic pain and painful periods to bladder and bowel concerns, painful intercourse and pelvic floor dysfunction, we're here to listen and support you. Through individualised assessment, education and treatment, we'll help you better understand your body and feel more confident managing your pelvic health.
Therapeutic Ultrasound
Breastfeeding can sometimes bring unexpected challenges, including breast inflammation, narrowed milk ducts and mastitis. Therapeutic ultrasound is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves and may help ease discomfort. Combined with education and individualised care, we're here to support you through your breastfeeding journey.
Pregnancy & Postpartum Pilates
Build strength, improve mobility and feel confident in your changing body. Our pregnancy and postpartum Pilates classes focus on functional strength, stability, pelvic floor health and movement to support you through pregnancy, birth and recovery. Exercises are tailored to your individual needs, abilities and stage of pregnancy or postpartum.
Breastfeeding Support
Breastfeeding doesn't always come naturally, and that's okay. Our experienced midwife provides personalised, face-to-face support during the first 6 weeks postpartum to help you navigate feeding challenges with confidence. From positioning and attachment to discomfort and feeding difficulties, we're here to offer practical guidance, reassurance and a judgement-free space for you and your baby.
Acupuncture & Dry Needling
Acupuncture and dry needling may be incorporated into your physiotherapy treatment to help manage pain, muscular tension and discomfort throughout pregnancy and postpartum. Treatment is tailored to your individual needs and may support relaxation and symptom management. Acupuncture may also be offered in the later stages of pregnancy as part of your preparation for labour and birth.
