Well Woman Screening
Physiotherapy Screening for Women's Pelvic Health
Post Natal Pelvic Health Screening
Before returning to exercise after your baby is born, you should visit a Women’s Health Physiotherapist to assess your pelvic floor function, abdominal muscle strength, posture and alignment.
Low impact exercise is recommended when breastfeeding, altered hormone levels can lead to reduced stability in the body which can increase risk of injury during high impact exercises.
Both vaginal and caesarean deliveries can create changes to your body which may lead to injury or pain when returning to exercise.
In the early days you may be experiencing intense pain: following vaginal delivery you may feel sore and numb in that area and have difficulty using the toilet or activating your pelvic floor. Leakage/accidents are common. Following a C-section you may experience abdominal pain and weakness when lifting and moving positions.
All women will have weak abdominal muscles after pregnancy, and it is normal to have a gap (diastasis recti) for 6 weeks after delivery. For many women, this gap is present for many months/years after childbirth and can go undiagnosed.
