ANTENATAL PHYSIOTHERAPY
Pregnancy is a time of incredible change for your body, and ensuring you receive safe and effective care is essential for both your well-being and your baby’s. Our experienced physiotherapists provide tailored pre and postnatal care, offering a range of services to help you stay comfortable, active, and well-prepared for birth and recovery.
Safe and Comfortable Treatment During Pregnancy
We prioritise your comfort and safety when providing hands-on physiotherapy treatment. To accommodate your growing belly, we have specially designed belly pillows, allowing you to lie face down comfortably during treatment sessions. Additionally, we provide expert advice on optimal resting positions and safe exercise options, ensuring you can move and rest with ease throughout your pregnancy.
Pre & Postnatal Clinical Exercise
Staying strong and active during pregnancy and after birth is essential for reducing pain, improving mobility, and aiding recovery. We offer pre and postnatal Clinical Exercise sessions, designed to:
- Improve core and pelvic floor strength
- Support posture and spinal alignment
- Reduce discomfort associated with pregnancy-related changes
- Assist in postnatal recovery
Compression Garments for Pregnancy and Recovery
During or after pregnancy, compression garments can be beneficial in providing support and reducing discomfort. Based on your needs, your Physio or Obstetrician may recommend these garments to assist with swelling, lower back and pelvic pain, or postnatal recovery. For your convenience, we stock and fit SRC and Solidea pregnancy and recovery shorts, ensuring you have the right support when you need it.
