Personalised support through pregnancy, postpartum recovery, pelvic health and a confident return to exercise.
No GP referral needed. Assessment and rehabilitation are tailored to your symptoms, stage of pregnancy or recovery, daily life and goals.
Whether you’re experiencing pain during pregnancy, pelvic-floor symptoms after having a baby, rebuilding strength postpartum, or returning to recreational exercise or higher-level sport, you’ll receive clear guidance and an individual rehabilitation plan.
Pregnancy can change the way your body moves and feels. If pelvic pain is making walking, sleeping, dressing, stairs, bed or car transfers more difficult, physiotherapy may help you understand and manage your symptoms.
Your pelvis remains a strong structure. PGP is not simply caused by a weak core, a weak pelvic floor or a pelvis that is “out of place”.
Grace will discuss your symptoms, movement, activity, sleep and daily demands before agreeing a plan with you.
Advice is individual: the aim is to help you stay active and build confidence, not to make you afraid of movement.
Support may include rebuilding strength after pregnancy and childbirth, addressing pelvic-floor symptoms, and gradually returning to everyday activity, the gym, running or sport.
Assessment focuses on how your abdominal wall functions during movement and exercise. The aim is not simply to “close the gap”, but to develop strength, control and confidence.
Your programme can be adapted for home, gym or sport and designed around your available time, equipment, symptoms and goals.
Discuss your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, activity levels and what you want to achieve in a private, comfortable setting.
Depending on your needs, this may include movement, strength, breathing, abdominal and pelvic-floor function. Grace will explain what is being assessed and why.
Leave with a clearer understanding of your symptoms and a personalised treatment and rehabilitation plan to work towards your goals.
Your rehabilitation continues between appointments. Grace can provide an individual exercise programme and ongoing support to help you stay consistent and progress over time.
Your programme can be shaped around family life, available time and equipment—whether you exercise at home, in the gym or are working towards a return to sport.

Yes. Assessment and treatment can be adapted to your stage of pregnancy, symptoms and individual needs.
Yes. Rehabilitation can help you gradually rebuild strength, fitness and confidence for everyday life, the gym, running, recreational exercise or sport.
Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily. Depending on the assessment, you may be asked to expose an area such as your lower back, abdomen or hips. Grace will explain what is needed beforehand.
Pregnancy-related pelvic or abdominal symptoms should not automatically be assumed to be musculoskeletal. Seek urgent medical advice for severe or rapidly worsening pain, significant vaginal bleeding, unexpected loss of fluid, fever or feeling significantly unwell, new significant weakness, saddle-area numbness, new loss of bladder or bowel control, or severe pain that is not typical for you.
If you are unsure whether physiotherapy is appropriate, contact your midwife, GP or another suitable healthcare professional.
