Postnatal Physiotherapy

I offer women’s health physiotherapy in Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and Rutland for women postnatally. The immediate weeks after the birth of your baby is an important time for your body. Your body undergoes many changes during pregnancy and continues to change postnatally. It is important to address any issues that occur at this time  to prevent problems later in life. Childbirth can lead to pelvic floor trauma, perineal tears and pudendal nerve injury (the nerve which supplies your bladder and pelvic floor). Consequently you may experience some pelvic floor dysfunction.
