Antenatal Physiotherapy & Massage

Pregnancy places unique demands on a woman’s body, leading to changes in posture, muscle strength, and joint stability. Our Antenatal Physiotherapy & Massage services are designed to address these changes, helping relieve discomfort and promoting optimal health for both you and your baby.

Benefits of Antenatal Physiotherapy:

  • Relief from pregnancy-related pain: Targeting common musculoskeletal issues such as back pain, pelvic girdle pain (PGP), and sciatica.

  • Improved posture and body alignment: Helping you adjust to the shifts in balance and weight as your body changes.

  • Pelvic floor preparation: Strengthening and preparing your pelvic floor muscles for childbirth to reduce the risk of complications.

  • Guidance on safe exercise: Ensuring you stay active and healthy during pregnancy with exercises tailored to your needs and stage of pregnancy.

  • Education on labor preparation: Breathing techniques, positioning, and strategies to manage pain and ease labor.

Benefits of Antenatal Massage:

  • Reduces muscle tension: Gentle, relaxing massage techniques relieve muscle tension in areas like the lower back, shoulders, and legs.

  • Eases swelling: Massage can reduce fluid retention in the legs and feet, a common issue during pregnancy.

  • Promotes relaxation: Helps reduce stress and anxiety, contributing to a sense of well-being during pregnancy.

  • Improves sleep: Regular massage can help improve sleep quality, which can be disrupted due to discomfort and hormonal changes during pregnancy.

Postnatal Physiotherapy & Massage

After giving birth, your body undergoes a natural healing and recovery process. Postnatal Physiotherapy & Massage services are designed to help new mothers regain strength, address any lingering issues from pregnancy or childbirth, and promote overall wellbeing as you transition into motherhood.

Benefits of Postnatal Physiotherapy:

  • Pelvic floor rehabilitation: Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles after childbirth, reducing issues like urinary incontinence or prolapse.

  • Core and abdominal recovery: Helping address conditions like diastasis recti (abdominal muscle separation), restoring core strength and function.

  • Postural correction: Improving posture and reducing strain from breastfeeding, carrying your baby, or prolonged sitting.

  • Relief from postnatal pain: Targeting back pain, neck pain, and other discomforts that may arise during the postnatal period.

  • Safe return to exercise: Tailored exercise programs to help you safely return to physical activity and rebuild strength.

Benefits of Postnatal Massage:

  • Relieves muscle soreness: Alleviates tension in areas such as the neck, shoulders, and back, which may be strained due to breastfeeding or carrying your baby.

  • Reduces stress and promotes relaxation: Helping new mothers relax and manage the physical and emotional demands of caring for a newborn.

  • Improves circulation and healing: Enhances blood flow to promote healing and recovery after childbirth.

  • Support for emotional well-being: Massage can help reduce the risk of postnatal depression by promoting relaxation and reducing stress hormones.
