postnatal physiotherapy can support a faster rehabilitation after giving birth. After having a baby, most women have a weakness in either the tummy or pelvic floor muscles. This vulnerability creates instability and poor core strength, resulting in back pain, pelvic pain, bladder problems and bowel dysfunction.

Many are too embarrassed to admit or discuss it, while many more think it is an inevitable consequence of age or childbirth. This is not the case - and as our pelvic Health experts will tell you, undergoing a simple assessment, carrying out evidence-based postnatal exercises and making some important lifestyle changes can often be enough to improve or eliminate your symptoms.

Massage therapy has been around 3000 BC or earlier, massage therapy traditions were practiced in India. They practiced Ayurveda, which combined medicine, meditation, relaxation, and aromatherapy—all of which are still practiced today.
Massage therapy treatment will help you get your muscle and fascia moving to reduce pain or discomfort, reduce tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation and well being. There are several different touches and techniques that will be used to achieve the results you need.
Therapeutic or Swedish massage is the most widely known type of massage. Pressure and techniques focus on the more superficial layers of muscle and tissues to relax muscle tension and improve circulation. A perfect approach for when you want to destress from the business of life. Also, the approach in the early days after an injury.
Deep Tissues massage uses a heavier pressure and longer strokes that reaches deeper into muscles and connective tissue of the body. This approach is ideal for long standing muscle pain or tightness, or in the healing phase of injuries such as whiplash, sports strains or after a fall. This is a more intense massage where you guide the pressure. It can leave a lingering feeling that lasts for 24-48 hours after but should not cause an increase in pain.
Pregnancy and Postpartum Massage the body goes through a lot of adaptations during and after pregnancy, especially the fascia and muscles that support the changes. The pressure is often softer and will decrease body aches, relieve muscle tension, reduce stress, and may improve sleep.
