Urinary incontinence can affect women at any stage of life and is both common and treatable. Physiotherapy focuses on pelvic floor assessment, bladder habits, and targeted exercises to improve control, reduce leakage, and help you feel confident in everyday movement and exercise.

Urinary incontinence during pregnancy is common and treatable. Physiotherapy focuses on pelvic floor assessment, bladder education, and safe, pregnancy-appropriate exercises to improve control, reduce leakage, and support your body as it changes throughout pregnancy.

At 3 weeks postnatal we can assess for your abdominal separation and most importantly set you up with a specific home exercise program to address this 

You will be offered an external vaginal examination to determine the level of intensity suitable for you to exercise at during this early postnatal phase.

At 6 weeks postnatal we can assess for your abdominal separation and its progression.

With your consent and confidence this is an ideal time to have an internal vaginal examination to determine strength, endurance and coordination of your pelvic floor as well as assess for prolapse.

Scar management and guided techniques to release any adhesions and improve sensation. 

From 10-12 weeks postnatal your women’s health physiotherapist can commence cupping over the scar. 

Cupping for caesarean scars is a gentle technique used to improve tissue mobility, reduce restriction, and support healing around the scar area. It can help restore comfortable movement and connection through the abdomen and is always introduced safely and progressively during postnatal recovery.
