Pregnancy and childbirth bring incredible changes to your body, and it’s essential to prioritise your recovery and well-being after your baby arrives. At Physiolistic, we offer comprehensive postnatal rehabilitation programmes designed to help you regain strength, function, and confidence. We understand the unique challenges of the postpartum period and are here to support you every step of the way.
Our postnatal rehabilitation services address a range of common concerns, including:
Deep Abdominal Strengthening
Pregnancy stretches the deep abdominal muscles, particularly the transversus abdominis (Trans Ab). We use diagnostic ultrasound to visualise your Trans Ab engagement and provide real-time feedback, helping you to effectively re-educate and strengthen these crucial muscles. This is vital for core stability and support.
Rectus Diastasis (Abdominal Separation)
We specialise in treating rectus diastasis, the separation of the abdominal muscles that often occurs during pregnancy. We utilise Compex neuromuscular electrical stimulation to help rapidly close the separation and restore core strength.
Pelvic Floor Strengthening
A weakened pelvic floor can lead to various issues, including incontinence and prolapse. We provide guidance and exercises to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, improving bladder and bowel control and supporting pelvic organ function.
C-Section Scar Management
We offer comprehensive scar work for C-section deliveries, utilising manual therapy, radiofrequency treatment, and Compex to improve scar mobility, reduce pain, and promote healing. We address any restrictions in the scar tissue and surrounding muscles.
Back and Pelvic Mobilisation
We gently mobilise the back and pelvis to address any misalignments or restrictions that may have developed during pregnancy and childbirth, helping to restore proper alignment and reduce pain.
Foot and Ankle Support
The ligaments in your feet can loosen during pregnancy, sometimes requiring orthotics for support and stability. We can assess your feet and advise on appropriate footwear or orthotic options.
Posture Correction
We use our 3D postural analysis system to assess your posture and identify any imbalances that may be contributing to pain or discomfort. We then develop a tailored exercise programme to help you regain good posture.
Graded Exercise Programme
We’ll guide you through a graded exercise programme designed to gradually rebuild your strength and fitness, taking into account your individual needs and recovery progress. We’ll help you safely return to your pre-baby activity levels.
Our aim is to help you regain your pre-baby body function, improve your overall well-being, and empower you to confidently embrace motherhood. Contact us today to discuss your postnatal rehabilitation needs and begin your journey back to feeling your best.
