Pregnancy and Postpartum Care

Physiotherapy for Pregnancy and Postpartum

Pregnancy and postpartum are times of significant physical change, and physiotherapy can help you move through each stage with greater comfort, confidence, and support. While pelvic health is an important part of pregnancy and postpartum care, in addition to supporting pelvic floor concerns, treatment also addresses the many musculoskeletal changes that occur as your body adapts during pregnancy, birth, and recovery.

Care may include education, hands-on treatment, individualized exercise, labour and birth preparation, abdominal wall assessment, guidance for recovery after vaginal or cesarean birth, and support for a safe return to exercise, running, sport, and everyday activities. Whether you're experiencing pregnancy-related aches and pains, recovering from birth, or looking to feel stronger and more confident in your body, treatment is tailored to your unique goals and stage of your journey.

  • Pregnancy-related pelvic, hip, or low back pain

  • Pelvic girdle pain or pubic symphysis pain

  • Bladder leakage or urgency
