How We Can Help

Obstetric TENS rental

TENS is a clinically proven natural pain relief for labour. By stimulating the sensory nerves the pain receptors are inhibited and labour pain may be reduced. TENS use is very popular with women throughout the western world.

Individual Abdominal and Pelvic Floor Retraining Programs

Our therapists have specific training to address these common concerns and are experienced in supporting women to regain strength and function to these areas.

Post Natal Abdominal Separation

Abdominal separation, medically known as Diastisis of rectus abdominus (DRA),  is tearing or pulling of the two vertical muscles of your abdominal wall, which when put under significant strain or load, they can divide. This causes a weakness of the abdominal wall which can cause a number of problems,  such as a abdominal hernia, back pain, pelvic pain, incontinence.  If left untreated or not treated correctly , this separation can get larger and more difficult to correct without surgery. It is advised  to come in 6 weeks post partum for a check

We can help during pregnancy by specific abdominal taping.  Post pregnancy we will assess the degree of separation and help guide you through a progressive strengthening program to help narrow this separation.

Pregnancy taping to reduce separation

Pelvic Incontinence

Leakage is not normal and can be treated, 1 in 3 women post natally will have some leakage whether its when coughing or during exercise. Most of the time it can be fixed with simple exercises/pelvic floor retraining.

We can assist this strengthening with pressure biofeedback.
