Postpartum Care Options

Pelvic Floor Therapy

Pelvic floor physiotherapy starts with a conversation about your symptoms, birth experience, and goals. Your therapist can assess pelvic floor function and explain how it relates to concerns such as pressure, discomfort, or leakage. Treatment may include guided exercises, movement strategies, and practical guidance for daily activities. Your plan is adjusted to your needs and progress.

Core Recovery

Core recovery focuses on how your abdominal muscles, pelvic floor, breathing, and posture work together. Your therapist can assess movement and create a progressive exercise plan based on your symptoms and current capacity. Sessions may address abdominal separation, trunk strength, and strategies for lifting or carrying your baby. Progression is guided by comfort, control, and your goals.

Return to Exercise

Returning to exercise after birth can bring questions about impact, strength, and symptom changes. Physiotherapy can help assess your movement and build a stepwise plan around the activities you want to resume. Sessions may include strength and conditioning exercises, symptom monitoring, and adjustments to training load. Your therapist can help you progress at a pace suited to your recovery.

Postpartum Pain Support

Postpartum discomfort can affect sitting, walking, feeding positions, and other daily routines. Physiotherapy begins by discussing where symptoms occur and what makes them better or worse. Your therapist can assess relevant movement and function, then recommend appropriate exercises, positioning strategies, or activity modifications. Care is individualized, with referrals to another provider when symptoms warrant further evaluation.
