Physiotherapy during pregnancy is often the ‘missing link’ in prenatal care.

As your body changes, your centre of gravity shifts and hormones like relaxin increase ligament laxity, which can affect stability, posture, and how comfortably you move through daily life. These changes are completely normal, but they can also bring on new aches, strain or a sense that your body isn’t moving quite the way it used to.

Here’s why physiotherapy is a game changer during this time:

→ Helps support pelvic and core stability as your body adapts
→ Guides safe, appropriate movement and exercise tailored to your pregnancy
→ Helps manage common discomforts like back, pelvic, or hip pain
→ Supports confidence in how your body is functioning through each trimester
→ Prepares your body for the physical demands of birth and postpartum recovery

Working out, lifting weights and movement during pregnancy is SO important!

When you train intentionally and build functional strength (along with mobility and endurance), you set yourself up for a more comfortable, active pregnancy and prepare your body for birth.

It’s important to remember that all pregnancies are different. Even if you were active before pregnancy or in your last pregnancy, there are certain situations where your doctor may not give you the green light. Always consult with your healthcare professional!

Wondering if you should get your pelvic floor checked if you are planning a c-section?

Here’s what you need to know:

Pregnancy puts pressure on the pelvic floor. Regardless of how you birth your baby, your body goes through so many changes over 9 months. The increased amount of pressure on your pelvic floor during pregnancy can impact function post-partum, even if you gave birth via c-section.

You can still experience pelvic health conditions and symptoms even if you had a c-section. Making sure that your muscles are all working together is an important part of your postpartum rehab.

To support your recovery and confidence in your body, book a pelvic health assessment with us through the link in our bio.

Strengthening your pelvic floor doesn't have to mean intense workouts or strict routines. Small consistent habits can make a genuine difference.

If you’re unsure where to start or want more personalised guidance, we can help you build strength in a way that feels safe and sustainable.

If you know someone who’s expecting, share this with them so they can start building awareness and strength in their pelvic floor early 🤍

Your pelvic floor might be trying to tell you something 🤍
A weak pelvic floor doesn't always show up in obvious ways.

It can look like:

→ Leaking with sneezing, coughing, jumping, laughing or yelling
→ Heaviness or dragging sensation in pelvis, sometimes it feels like a tampon is coming out
→ Difficulty holding in wind or bowel movements
→ Low back or pelvic pain
→ Pressure or bulging in the vaginal area
→ Reduced core control during exercise
→ Pain with s*x

Here’s the bit nobody tells you though - pelvic floor symptoms don’t always mean weakness. Sometimes muscles are too tight, too tense, or just not coordinating properly. Which is why a thousand kegels a day isn’t always the answer.

The good news? With the right assessment and a rehab plan, connection work and strength training, you can rebuild strength and function again.

If any of these symptoms sound familiar, you can visit our website via the link in our bio to learn more about how we can support your recovery.

Your pelvic floor is doing some of the most important (and least talked about) work during pregnancy, especially as baby grows and your hormones shift.

Your pelvic floor is a hammock of muscles and connective tissues that support your bladder, bowel and uterus. As your uterus expands, it creates increasing pressure on these structures, asking your pelvic floor to adapt and work a little differently than before.

At the same time, shifts in the hormones relaxin, oestrogen and progesterone help soften and lengthen ligaments throughout the pelvis. While this is such an important part of preparing for birth, it can also mean the pelvic floor has structural support, which may increase the load placed on the muscles themselves.

The good news? Pelvic floor muscle training during pregnancy is a well researched topic (but still needs more!). A 2020 Cochrane review (aka a study that looks at lots of studies that are similar) found that pelvic floor exercises during pregnancy reduce urinary incontinence both during pregnancy and in the postnatal period!

Pregnancy doesn’t mean you have to stop training, it means adapting your routine to support your journey.

Your body is doing something incredible, and movement can support you every step of the way.

Staying active during pregnancy can help:

→ Keep your muscles, core, and pelvic floor strong
→ Reduce back, hip, and joint discomfort
→ Boost your energy and mood
→ Support better sleep
→ Prepare your body for labour and postpartum recovery
→ Reduce the changes of gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia

Each trimester brings change, from maintaining your routine to adapting movement, to slowing things down and preparing for labour.

By listening to your body and making a few adjustments, you can keep being active during your whole pregnancy.
