Physiotheraphy Post Natal Assessment

Having a baby is one of life’s truly remarkable experiences. At AJ Physio we have watched many of our patients take this journey and we have shared with them the joy and excitement of this wonderful time.

This change impacts mothers in different ways and to different degrees. For an optimal recovery post pregnancy it is critical to understand how the process has affected you. This enables you to determine where your focus area needs to be and then rehabilitate your body properly; especially your pelvic floor muscles to enable a return to normal function ASAP. This is particularly pertinent before returning to more demanding exercise.
