Struggling with Pain, Weakness, or Discomfort Related to Your Reproductive Health?
Women's bodies go through profound physical changes during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period — and many of the musculoskeletal, pelvic, and hormonal effects are undertreated. Back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and symphysis pubis dysfunction during pregnancy significantly impact quality of life. After delivery, pelvic floor weakness, stress incontinence, diastasis recti (abdominal separation), and postural changes require specific, expert rehabilitation. Conditions like stress incontinence — often dismissed as an inevitable consequence of childbirth — are highly treatable with the right pelvic floor physiotherapy approach.
What is Women's Health Physiotherapy?
Women's health physiotherapy addresses the musculoskeletal and pelvic health conditions that are specific to women across all life stages. Our programme includes: antenatal physiotherapy (back pain, pelvic girdle pain, birth preparation exercises during pregnancy), postnatal rehabilitation (pelvic floor recovery, abdominal rehabilitation, return to exercise), pelvic floor rehabilitation (for stress and urge incontinence, prolapse management, and pelvic pain), and gynaecological condition management. All sessions are conducted with full respect for privacy and dignity.
Benefits of Treatment
Experience the advantages of targeted physiotherapy — designed to reduce pain, improve movement, and support long-term recovery.
Relieves Pregnancy-Related Back and Pelvic Pain
Targeted manual therapy, exercise prescription, and support bracing relieve the back pain and pelvic girdle pain that affect a significant proportion of pregnant women — particularly in the second and third trimesters.
Prepares the Body for Childbirth
Antenatal exercises strengthen the pelvic floor, improve perineal flexibility, and optimise body positioning for labour — supporting a safer and more comfortable delivery.
Rehabilitates the Pelvic Floor After Delivery
Specific pelvic floor rehabilitation after vaginal or caesarean delivery restores muscle strength, coordination, and endurance — the foundation of bladder, bowel, and sexual function.
Treats Stress Incontinence
Structured pelvic floor muscle training is the first-line, evidence-based treatment for stress urinary incontinence — significantly more effective than general pelvic floor exercises performed without guidance.
Safely Returns You to Exercise
A structured, progressive return-to-exercise programme after childbirth — paced according to your pelvic floor’s recovery — prevents the injury and worsening of symptoms that can occur with premature high-impact exercise.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about Gynaecological & Obstetric Care treatment? Here are the most common queries — to help you understand what to expect and how physiotherapy can help
Is it safe to do physiotherapy during pregnancy?
Yes — physiotherapy during pregnancy is safe and highly beneficial. Antenatal physiotherapy is specifically adapted for each stage of pregnancy, focusing on pain relief, posture, and birth preparation. All exercises are appropriate for the trimester and individual condition.
When should I start pelvic floor exercises after childbirth?
Gentle pelvic floor exercises can begin within 24 hours of a vaginal delivery. After a caesarean section, gentle activation begins as soon as comfortable — typically day 1–2 post-operatively. A formal pelvic floor assessment and structured rehabilitation programme is recommended at 6–8 weeks postpartum.
Can physiotherapy treat stress incontinence?
Yes. Pelvic floor muscle training — supervised by a specialist physiotherapist — is the recommended first-line treatment for stress urinary incontinence. It is significantly more effective than home exercises alone and avoids the need for medication or surgical intervention in the majority of patients.
What is diastasis recti and can physiotherapy help?
Diastasis recti is a separation of the abdominal muscles (the rectus abdominis) that occurs during pregnancy. It can cause a visible gap or ridge down the midline, core weakness, and back pain. Specific abdominal rehabilitation — beginning with deep core activation and progressively loading the midline — is highly effective. Traditional sit-ups and crunches should be avoided until the gap closes.
Is the session conducted in private?
Absolutely. All women’s health physiotherapy sessions are conducted in a fully private clinical space, by a specialist physiotherapist. We maintain the highest standards of dignity and confidentiality throughout your treatment.
When can I return to running and high-impact exercise after childbirth?
The general recommendation is to avoid high-impact exercise (running, HIIT, jumping) for at least 3 months postpartum — and only after your pelvic floor has been assessed and cleared by a physiotherapist. Starting high-impact exercise too early is one of the most common causes of pelvic floor dysfunction and incontinence in postpartum women.
