Pregnancy Physiotherapy

Prenatal & Postnatal Physiotherapy

Supporting You Through Every Stage of Pregnancy and Recovery

Pregnancy brings incredible changes to your body, but it can also lead to back pain, pelvic discomfort, muscle weakness and changes in posture. At Sydney Health Care Group (Hills Physio Care & Chatswood Physio Care), our experienced women's health physiotherapists provide personalised prenatal and postnatal physiotherapy to help you stay active, reduce pain and recover safely after childbirth.

Whether you're preparing for birth, managing pregnancy-related discomfort or recovering after delivery, our evidence-based treatment programs are designed to support both you and your baby.

What is Prenatal & Postnatal Physiotherapy?

Prenatal and postnatal physiotherapy is a specialised area of women's health physiotherapy that focuses on maintaining your physical health during pregnancy and restoring strength after childbirth.

Our physiotherapists assess your posture, movement, pelvic floor function and core muscles to develop an individualised treatment plan that supports a healthy pregnancy and recovery.
