Postnatal physiotherapy / 6 week check session two

Postnatal Physiotherapy occurs once your baby is born. It is recommend you are seen around 6-8 weeks postnatally by a qualified women's health physiotherapist. Postnatal Physiotherapy offers a full bladder and bowel screen, diastasis recti (abdominal separation) and internal vaginal assessment for pelvic floor muscle dysfunction as well as pelvic organ prolapse. The pelvic floor vaginal assessment is completely optional, your physiotherapist can tell a lot about your pelvic floor by asking questions about your bladder, bowel and sexual function as well as symptoms you may have noticed. Every woman’s pregnancy and birth is very unique and so your treatment will be tailored to your exact needs based on your assessment. The treatment will include posture advice for breastfeeding and caring for your baby, sport specific training for return to exercise, treatment for diastasis recti, pelvic organ prolapse, incontinence as well as back and hip pain and anything else to aid your postnatal recovery.

What does a postnatal physiotherapy appointment look like?
Our physiotherapists are community based meaning they come to you. Your physiotherapist will start by taking a history of your pregnancy, birth and any relevant medical conditions. They will discuss your goals for postnatal recovery and complete a physical assessment of your full body, pelvic floor, core and diastasis recti. If there is anything that comes up in the history taking or physical exam your physiotherapist will work with you to create a treatment plan based on your individual needs. This treatment may be with regular physiotherapy or a home program you can complete independently.
