As these changes unfold, pregnant and postpartum women may encounter a variety of physical challenges. This is where pre and postnatal physiotherapy steps in, offering tailored support to help women navigate these new stages of life with strength and grace.


Why Pre/Postnatal Physiotherapy is Essential


The body undergoes significant changes during and after pregnancy. Pre and postnatal physiotherapy focuses on these changes, providing targeted care to alleviate discomfort and enhance well-being.
