We can assess and treat all of the conditions you would normally see a physio for and in addition offer assessment and treatment of conditions specifically related to pre and post partum.
Our physiotherapists have post graduate qualifications in these areas and are passionate about helping you though this special time.
At Surf Coast Physiotherapy and Pilates in Torquay, we are trained to treat a wide range of conditions that are associated with the child bearing years, including pelvic girdle pain, pelvic floor issues and Diastasis Recti (abdominal separation). We can provide specific exercise programs or Pilates based rehabilitation.
You are welcome to bring your baby to sessions if you need to.
The correct rehab can have your body feeling strong and capable for all the demands of life with a new baby. You don't have to suffer with pain or pelvic floor problems- treatment can help! Please get in touch if you have any specific questions or if you are unsure what physio may be able to do to help with your problem, we are happy to chat!
