Up to half of all women experience weakness in both the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor muscles after pregnancy and up to a third still have a tummy gap at eight weeks post-birth. This can cause instability or poor core strength leading to women developing pelvic or back pain or bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunction. These conditions should not be something you should just put up with as a result of having a baby.

​

It’s recommended that women have an initial assessment at 6-8 weeks postnatal, but we also treat women who gave birth years ago that may still have a tummy gap or related pelvic floor issues.

​

What To Expect:

• A 1 hour assessment with a Specialist Trained Perinatal Physiotherapist

• An in-depth check of your tummy gap to assess for diastasis recti

• Internal or external assessment of your pelvic floor

• Scar assessment including stitches and c-section scars

• Assessment of any physical problems arising from pregnancy or birth

• A bespoke postnatal recovery program devised especially for you, your lifestyle and your fitness goals. This includes specific and safe postnatal exercises to improve your stability, posture and core strength
