PRE-NATAL PHYSIO PACKAGES

Supporting Your Body Through Pregnancy

Pregnancy is an incredible journey, but it can also bring significant changes to your body. From pelvic pain and back discomfort to fatigue and muscle tension, many women experience aches and pains that don’t always get talked about.

At Hartwell Physiotherapy, our Pre-Natal Physiotherapy Package is designed to support you through pregnancy with expert, pregnancy-specific care that focuses on comfort, confidence, and preparation for birth and recovery.

Why Consider Pre-Natal Physiotherapy?

Your body goes through rapid physical changes during pregnancy hormonally, posturally, and biomechanically. Pre-natal physiotherapy can help to:

Reduce pregnancy-related aches and pains
Support pelvic floor health
Improve comfort and mobility as your body changes
Prepare your body for labour, delivery, and post-natal recovery

Rather than waiting until pain becomes limiting, early assessment and proactive care can make a meaningful difference to how you feel throughout pregnancy.

What’s Included in Our Pre-Natal Package?

Our Pre-Natal Package is a structured, supportive program that guides you through pregnancy with targeted treatment and education.

Initial Pregnancy Assessment (60 minutes)

Your first session is a comprehensive physiotherapy assessment focused on your individual needs and stage of pregnancy.

This appointment includes:

A pelvic floor assessment
Assessment of posture, movement, and load management
A personalised pregnancy-safe exercise program
Advice on safe exercise during pregnancy
Strategies to reduce the risk of pregnancy-related musculoskeletal aches and pains

This session forms the foundation for your ongoing care and ensures your treatment is tailored specifically to your body.

Pregnancy Massage (2 × 40 minutes)

Pregnancy can place extra strain on muscles and joints, particularly through the lower back, hips, pelvis, and upper body.

These massage sessions aim to:

Relieve muscular aches and pains
Promote relaxation and rest
Improve comfort as pregnancy progresses
Support circulation and general wellbeing

Pregnancy massage is adapted to be safe and comfortable at all stages, with positioning and support tailored to you.

Delivery & Post-Natal Preparation Session (40 minutes)

This session focuses on helping you feel informed, prepared, and confident heading into birth and early recovery.

It includes guidance on:

Delivery preparation, including perineal massage and pelvic floor techniques
Positions and strategies to assist during labour
Advice following caesarean birth, including early mobility and scar care principles
Feeding advice (including pillow recommendations)
Early post-natal exercise guidance: what to start, what to avoid, and when

This session helps bridge the gap between pregnancy and post-natal recovery, giving you clear, practical guidance for the weeks ahead.

Our Pre-Natal Package is suitable for:
- First-time mums wanting guidance and reassurance
- Women experiencing pelvic, back, hip, or pregnancy-related pain
