Pelvic Girdle Pain & Post-Natal Rehabilitation in Exeter – Expert Care for Mothers
Are You Struggling with Pelvic Girdle Pain or Recovering Post-Natally?
Pregnancy and childbirth can take a significant toll on the body, and many women experience pelvic girdle pain (PGP) during pregnancy or struggle with recovery after giving birth. These issues can cause discomfort, pain, and frustration, affecting your ability to move, exercise, and care for your baby. At Quay Kinetics Physio, we provide specialised treatment for pelvic girdle pain and post-natal rehabilitation to help you regain your strength and confidence.
You Might Be Asking Yourself:
Why do I feel pain in my lower back, hips, or pelvis during pregnancy?
Why is my pelvic pain worse when I walk, stand, or roll over in bed?
How can I safely exercise after giving birth to regain my strength?
Can physiotherapy help me recover from childbirth and prevent long-term issues?
At Quay Kinetics Physio, we understand how challenging pregnancy and post-natal recovery can be. Our goal is to provide you with the expert care and support you need to manage your pain, restore your strength, and get back to doing the activities you love.
Specialised Training for Women’s Health
Our lead physiotherapist, Jennifer, has undergone specialised training in women’s health, including completing Antony Lo’s 'The Female Athlete' course and becoming a qualified 'FitBack & Bumps' Ante and Post-Natal Instructor. This advanced training enables us to offer evidence-based treatment and guidance for women experiencing pelvic girdle pain or seeking post-natal rehabilitation. Whether you're currently pregnant, have just given birth, or are years post-natal, we tailor our approach to meet your unique needs.
Common Conditions We Treat:
Pelvic girdle pain and post-natal issues can vary in severity, but we commonly help women experiencing:
Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP): Discomfort in the lower back, hips, pubic area, or groin, often worsened by walking, standing, or rolling over in bed. This condition is common during pregnancy but can also persist post-natally.
Diastasis Recti (Abdominal Separation): Separation of the abdominal muscles during pregnancy.
Pelvic Floor Weakness: Many women experience pelvic floor weakness following childbirth, leading to incontinence, discomfort, and reduced support for the pelvic organs.
Post-Natal Back and Hip Pain: Postural changes, weakened muscles, and the demands of caring for a newborn can lead to ongoing back, hip, and pelvic pain after childbirth.
C-Section Recovery: Recovering from a caesarean section requires specialised care to promote healing, restore strength, and improve scar mobility.
