Pregnancy and the months after birth bring major physical changes. Specialized care helps you stay comfortable and recover with confidence.
Understanding the condition
About pregnancy & postpartum physio
Hormonal changes, weight gain and shifts in posture during pregnancy commonly cause low back pain, pelvic girdle pain and sciatica. After birth, the abdominal wall and pelvic floor need time and guidance to recover, and diastasis recti (abdominal separation) is common. Physiotherapy and massage therapy support comfort during pregnancy and a safe return to activity afterwards.
