Women’s Wellness and Pregnancy

Women’s bodies undergo many changes, some of these can be challenging such as the changes during pregnancy and childbirth. Some women also have other challenges during exercise and other day to day activities that are often not spoken about or are just considered as normal, but in many cases they are not.

  • Our Bubs-In group classes are there to keep you fit, strong and mobile (with plenty of chitchat amongst the Mums-To-Be).  

Reload post-natal physiotherapy treatments 

We recommend that all women receive an assessment prior to recommencing exercise at around about six weeks post birth.

A discreet women’s wellness consultation will be provided for you to assess:

  • Abdominal wall

  • Back and pelvic pain or discomfort

Our physios are experienced at helping new mothers regain their full fitness and vitality levels post natally.  We can provide you with personalised exercises that help restore posture, abdominal strength and improve your pelvic floor.

POST NATAL EXERCISE AND REHABILITATION

We will help you start your journey back into exercise safely with a tailored post-natal rehabilitation program once you are ready.

  • We focus on restoring pelvic floor function, abdominal strength and control, alongside whole-body strength and mobility.

  • You have the option of exercising one-on-one with your physiotherapist or joining our Physiotherapist-led Bubs-Out Post-Natal exercise class with other new mothers and their babies.
