It’s no exaggeration that pregnancy brings some significant changes to our body and with it, a wide range of related aches and pain.
Support and reassurance from a specialist pelvic health physiotherapist for women experiencing new symptoms or managing pre-existing pelvic health or musculoskeletal problems can be invaluable. With no need to wait, appointments can be arranged swiftly to provide relief, reassurance and help you feel prepared for the rest of your pregnancy and birth.
