Service Description

A comprehensive post natal assessment, perfect for understanding and having direct personalised guidance to get you back to feeling connected and strong in your body. In a 1 hour appointment: Detailed consultation discussing your pregnancy and birth journey, any symptoms you may be experiencing, any related conditions that affect your recovery, and your goals. For some women, this is rebuilding strength to return to normal function without pain, for some its returning to a particular sport, and for others its aesthetic focused- all reasons are valid and accepted! Assessment Assessment of your body's strength and function, and a dive into any symptoms you are experiencing. We will always check: Diastasis Recti - Also known as tummy gap, often a result of the stomach muscles stretching during pregnancy Pelvic Floor dysfunction - Very common to experience weakness of the pelvic floor muscles causing leaking, pain and imbalances in the body. Depending on your symptoms, we may also do an internal exam if deemed necessary but don't worry- if you aren't comfortable there is plenty we can do without an internal exam. Functional movements: restrictions or pain elsewhere in the body: commonly the lower back, hips, neck and shoulders, wrists and feet. Diagnosis and Treatment plan After discussing the results of the assessment we will formulate a treatment plan that suits you. This is often a combination of rehabilitation exercises, manual treatment to the area, lymphatic drainage and scar mobilisation.
