Physiotherapy Prenatal

Feel better. Move easier. Prepare your body for birth.

Prenatal physiotherapy supports you through each trimester with a personalized plan that combines hands-on manual therapy, targeted exercises, and education. We help manage pain, improve mobility, and strengthen key areas so you move through pregnancy with more comfort — and feel better prepared for labor, delivery, and recovery.

IS IT SAFE? Yes — prenatal physiotherapy is completely safe and backed by evidence. Every technique is adapted to protect both you and baby while addressing the physical demands of pregnancy. Our goal: a more comfortable pregnancy and a better foundation for postpartum healing.

Initial Assessment
We begin with a full review of your health history, symptoms, and lifestyle. Then, a physical exam leads to a clinical impression and your initial treatment — including manual therapy, soft tissue techniques, pain relief strategies, and your first set of exercises. 

Follow-Up Sessions
Each visit builds on the last. We monitor your progress, adjust your treatment, progress your exercise program, and give you the knowledge to stay injury-free long-term. 

What to Wear
Comfortable clothing that allows access to the injured area (e.g. shorts, t-shirt, camisole).

Private Room
All sessions are one-on-one in a private, professional setting.

Here are some common conditions treated in prenatal physiotherapy:

• Lower back & hip pain
  Commonly experienced due to the growing belly, altered posture, and increased stress on the spine

• Pelvic girdle pain (PGP)
  Pain around the pelvic joints and ligaments, often aggravated by activities like walking, standing, and climbing stairs

• Sciatica or nerve compression
  Pain radiating from the lower back down to the legs due to pressure on the sciatic nerve

• Round ligament discomfort
  Discomfort in the lower abdomen or groin area due to stretching of the round ligaments

• Carpal tunnel syndrome
  Numbness, tingling, or pain in the hands and fingers due to fluid retention and increased pressure on the median nerve

• Diastasis recti
  Separation of the abdominal muscles along the midline, causing a bulge in the abdomen

• Swelling and oedema
  Fluid retention in the lower extremities, common in late pregnancy

• Postural changes
  Altered posture due to the growing belly, leading to discomfort and pain in various parts of the body

• Shortness of breath
  Difficulty breathing due to the upward displacement of the diaphragm by the growing uterus

• Preparation for labor and delivery
  Physical and mental preparation for the demands of labor and childbirth

• Pelvic floor tension or dysfunction
  Issues such as incontinence or pelvic pain due to the strain of pregnancy on pelvic floor muscles
  External approach only (best way to start your recovery)
