Childbirth can be a very traumatic experience. Whether you have had a straightforward birth with minimal trauma or a challenging labour, birth or c-section the pelvic floor, tummy muscles, ligaments and fascia that support your organs such as the bladder and bowel will have experienced stretching, tearing and changes. Most mothers will experience some weakness in these muscle groups and need a tailored individualised program for their pelvic floor and core strength to improve their overall strength, stability and recovery. A specific evidence-based assessment and treatment plan will be tailored to your needs.
