All about Pregnancy Physiotherapy

  • How Can Physiotherapy Help During Pregnancy?

    As your body adapts throughout pregnancy, changes in posture, movement, muscle function and load tolerance can contribute to discomfort or difficulty completing everyday activities.

    • Pregnancy-related lower back pain

    • Pelvic girdle pain (PGP)

    • Hip and gluteal pain

    • Postural and movement-related discomfort

    • Muscle weakness and reduced physical capacity

    • Pregnancy exercise guidance
