Physiotherapy

Your body will/has undergone considerable changes during pregnancy and childbirth. Your pelvic floor muscles, abdominal muscles, posture and body awareness have all been affected. The extent of these changes varies between individuals, depending on your type of delivery, the size of your baby and your physical condition prior to and during your pregnancy.

Physiotherapists with a special interest in Women’s Health visit North West Private Hospital and they can provide individual consultations in your hospital room. Please ask your midwife to arrange a physiotherapy visit.
