Pregnancy brings significant physical change, and every woman’s experience is unique. Our prenatal physiotherapy service provides personalised, evidence-based care to support your body as it adapts and grows — whether you’re managing pelvic girdle pain, back pain, postural changes, or preparing physically for birth.
With a compassionate and thorough approach, our aim is to help you feel understood, stay comfortable throughout your pregnancy, and approach labour and birth with confidence.
The pelvic floor undergoes enormous strain during pregnancy. Dysfunction can present as weakness, overactivity, or poor coordination — causing symptoms such as leaking, pelvic heaviness, or discomfort. Our prenatal physiotherapy assessment identifies the root cause and guides a personalised treatment plan to restore control, reduce symptoms, and protect your pelvic health throughout pregnancy and beyond.

Pelvic girdle pain is one of the most common complaints during pregnancy, causing pain and instability across the pelvis, hips, and lower back. Our prenatal physiotherapy assessment identifies which joints are affected, guiding a targeted treatment plan including manual therapy, exercise, and support belt advice — helping you stay mobile and comfortable throughout your pregnancy.
Back pain, particularly in the lower back, is one of the most common complaints during pregnancy as posture shifts and the spine adapts to your growing bump. Our prenatal physiotherapy assessment identifies the underlying cause, guiding a personalised treatment plan including manual therapy, postural correction, and tailored exercise to keep you comfortable and active.
Sciatica is a common complaint during pregnancy, caused by the growing uterus placing pressure on the sciatic nerve. This can result in sharp, shooting pain radiating from the lower back down through the buttocks and legs. Prenatal physiotherapy can help through targeted stretches, postural correction, and gentle exercises designed to relieve nerve compression and reduce discomfort.
Round ligament pain is a sharp or aching sensation felt in the lower abdomen or groin, common during the second trimester as your uterus grows. Prenatal physiotherapy can help manage this discomfort through gentle stretches, postural advice, and supportive techniques that reduce strain on the ligaments, helping you move more comfortably throughout your pregnancy.
Rib and upper back pain is common during pregnancy as your growing uterus shifts your posture and expands your ribcage. Increased breast weight and hormonal changes can further strain the thoracic spine. Physiotherapy can help through targeted stretches, postural correction, breathing techniques and hands-on treatment to relieve tension and improve comfort throughout your pregnancy.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is common during pregnancy due to fluid retention causing pressure on the median nerve, resulting in hand tingling, numbness, and weakness. Our we provide gentle splinting advice, nerve gliding exercises, and postural guidance to relieve symptoms and help you maintain comfort and hand function throughout your pregnancy.
Diastasis recti occurs when the abdominal muscles separate along the midline during pregnancy, a common and natural response to your growing baby. This separation can cause core weakness, lower back pain and pelvic instability. Our prenatal physiotherapists provide tailored assessment and safe, effective exercises to manage symptoms, support recovery and maintain your strength throughout pregnancy.
Leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, or laugh — or feeling a sudden, urgent need to go — is common during pregnancy but not something you simply have to accept. Prenatal physiotherapy addresses the underlying pelvic floor muscle dysfunction causing these symptoms, helping you regain control, build strength, and feel more confident throughout your pregnancy.
Hip pain is extremely common during pregnancy as your body releases relaxin, causing ligaments to loosen and your centre of gravity to shift. Our prenatal physiotherapists can assess your movement patterns, provide targeted strengthening exercises, and recommend supportive techniques to reduce discomfort, helping you stay active and comfortable throughout your pregnancy journey.
Constipation is a common complaint during pregnancy due to hormonal changes slowing digestion and increased pressure from your growing baby. A prenatal physiotherapist can provide guidance on safe exercises, positioning techniques, and abdominal massage to help stimulate bowel movement. Staying hydrated and maintaining gentle movement can significantly ease discomfort throughout your pregnancy.”
