Postnatal Pelvic Health Physiotherapy
The Empowered Mother
We understand the changes your body has experienced during pregnancy, and often you can be left feeling unsure where to begin on your journey back to exercise and fitness. This comprehensive postnatal check can take place at any stage, whether it be 6 weeks after giving birth, or several years later, helping to facilitate your recovery and improve your confidence to return to exercise, safely and effectively, helping to prevent long term problems occurring.
Your 1 hour or 90 minute Empowered Mother Postnatal Check:
- Full back, pelvis and posture assessment
- Abdominal muscle assessment, including check for muscle separation and activation
- Pelvic floor muscle assessment and education
- Advice on postnatal exercise and safe return to activity and exercise
- A bespoke exercise programme, designed with your goals and lifestyle factors in mind.
As part of a Pelvic Health Assessment you will also be offered an internal vaginal examination. The purpose of this internal examination is to assess the pelvic floor effectively / more comprehensively. Internal assessments are entirely optional and can be done either during this first session (time allowing) or subsequent sessions. You are more than welcome to bring a chaperone if you wish.
