Postnatal care with Physiotherapy

Feel one with your body again, for you & your baby.

Recovery after childbirth is no joke – let’s face it, getting back in shape after bearing a child is no easy feat! But luckily, physiotherapy can make the process much easier.

Our physiotherapists can help with strengthening your core muscles and increasing flexibility to help return your body to its pre-pregnancy strength.

How can physiotherapy help with postpartum care?

Physiotherapy is an invaluable resource for women during the postpartum period, alleviating many of the challenges they commonly face. It can help to ease back and pelvic pain, improve sleeping position and promote relaxation, all of which are essential for mothers coming to terms with the physical strain of childbirth.

Physiotherapy can also aid in recovering range and strength in areas such as the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles, helping mother’s build their fitness again safely. Even something as simple as optimal positioning for breastfeeding can be improved through physiotherapy.

So when it comes to postpartum months, take the proactive approach and look for our women’s health specialists today!

Breastfeeding issues

Suffer from conditions such as mastitis, blocked ducts and engorgement?

Get back to breastfeeding with ease.

Physiotherapy is a powerful tool to utilise in helping these mothers get back on track. Through the use of specialised equipment such as therapeutic ultrasound, inflammation can swiftly be reduced. In addition, massage therapy is an incredibly effective method for reducing swelling - indeed, physiotherapists are able to both perform and teach this technique for maximum efficacy.

Urinary Incontinence

Suffer from poor bladder control after giving birth?

Conquer incontinence and reclaim your life.

Pelvic floor rehabilitation through physiotherapy can help you regain control over urinary incontinence. Physios will teach you specific relaxation and strengthening techniques to give you greater muscular control and stability to get back to enjoying everyday activities as soon as possible.

Shoulder & back pains

Constantly aching from caring for the little one?

Erase the pain of new motherhood to enjoy this magical time.

We aim to not only alleviate the symptoms but also get to the root cause of the problem, such as easing muscle tension through manual therapy and correcting postures to avoid straining yourselves during breastfeeding or carrying the baby.

People we've helped

I was experiencing pain in my right shoulder and the consultant has helped me understand why and how to avoid this issue. The service goes beyond just those basic needs and has given me a clearer understanding of how to stay more flexible, increasing my comfort and happiness. My consultant is Mr. Haseeb. I recommend him highly.

Great physiotherapist. Been coming here for a year! Madeline is very kind and approachable and explains exercises very clearly. Have seen a marked improvement in my performance since then.

Wan Hui is dedicated and professional. Her assessments are tailored to my needs and i have learnt a lot in just 2 sessions with her! I strongly recommend seeing her to learn more about conditioning the body in preparation for labour and motherhood.

Brought my son here three years ago for torticollis treatment and he improved a lot. Now I’m back for hip labral tear therapy and I really laud City Osteo’s professionalism and commitment to my progress and healing. I love working with Naveen and he really helped me minimize my hip pain.

My life saviour!! This guy is the only person able to fix whatever pain/ injury I ever have on my muscles!! I always recommend him to all my loved ones and everyone has always thanked me for such a great recommendation!!

Helped immensely with chronic neck and shoulder pain, as well as with lower back pain. Treatment included combination of in clinic treatment plus at home exercises to strengthen supporting muscles. Seeks to address the root issue which I greatly appreciate .
