Congratulations! You are pregnant! The world around you is changing and about to even more so, and you may be starting to feel changes in your body, mood and functions. We are so passionate about delivering advice, tips and research based knowledge to pregnant women on how to prevent and manage injury and symptoms of pelvic pain, incontinence, abdominal pain or separation and ‘doming’.

Using a strong knowledge of general musculoskeletal issues and pregnancy specific problems we also assess and treat:

Sacroilliac joint pain, pubic symphysis pain (pelvic girdle pain)
Lower back pain
Thoracic/rib pain
Wrist issues and carpal tunnel syndrome
Neck pain
Abdominal wall issues.
The pelvic floor specific issues we may see commonly in the pregnancy population include:

Incontinence
Constipation
Tailbone pain
A tight pelvic floor
Painful sex
We provide guidance, tips on self management and hands on treatment to help with these problems. We guide women on exercise during pregnancy, what’s safe what’s not, and how to modify. Then as you draw closer to your due date, we will also take you through topics such as perineal massage, labour positions and active birthing skills.
