Pelvic Floor, Core and Full-Body Recovery After Delivery

Postnatal Rehabilitation

Childbirth is a major physical event, whether it was vaginal or by caesarean. Many new mothers experience back pain, weak abdominal muscles, pelvic floor problems, poor sleep and fatigue, yet are told to simply wait. Targeted rehabilitation can speed recovery and prevent long-term problems.

Physiovista Postnatal Rehabilitation provides a gradual, supervised path back to strength. Our physiotherapists assess your pelvic floor, abdominal separation, posture and fitness, then build a plan that fits the demands of caring for a newborn.

Who This Programme Is For

Our postnatal rehabilitation programme is designed for:

Mothers after vaginal birth, assisted delivery or caesarean section
Women with urine leakage, pelvic heaviness or pain
Those with abdominal separation known as diastasis recti
Mothers with back, neck or wrist pain from feeding and carrying
Women who want to return to sport or regular exercise
Mothers struggling with energy, mood or postpartum weight

Pelvic floor assessment and rehabilitation

What a Typical Session Looks Like & Key Benefits

Early sessions are calm and focused, often beginning with breathing, pelvic floor activation and gentle core exercises. As you recover, we add walking, strengthening and low-impact conditioning. We discuss practical matters such as lifting the baby, feeding positions and sleep strategies. Sessions usually last forty-five minutes, and babies are welcome at selected times, subject to centre arrangements.

Key Benefits:

Improved bladder and bowel control
Stronger core and reduced back pain
Better posture while feeding and carrying your baby
Gradual and healthy postpartum weight loss
Higher energy and improved mood
Confidence in your body again

Why Choose Physiovista

Postnatal care often gets overlooked after the baby arrives. Our therapists treat your recovery as seriously as your pregnancy care. We use a compassionate, private and judgement-free approach, so you can talk openly about any concerns.

Safety Comes First:
Please return to your doctor if you have heavy bleeding, fever, wound pain or discharge, a hard swollen breast, calf pain, or low mood that does not lift. We avoid high-impact activity and heavy abdominal exercises until your pelvic floor and core are ready, which protects against injury and prolapse.

Practical Tips & Lifestyle Support

Recovery is influenced by sleep, nutrition and emotional support. We discuss realistic expectations, since your body needs time to heal, and we help you balance self-care with the demands of a newborn. If you feel persistently sad, anxious or overwhelmed, please speak to your doctor, as postnatal mood difficulties are common and treatable.

Practical Tips for Best Results:

Rest when your baby sleeps whenever possible.
Support your back and arms when feeding.
Practise gentle pelvic floor contractions several times daily.
Eat balanced meals and stay hydrated.
Avoid heavy lifting beyond your baby in the early weeks.
Ask family for help and accept it.
