Postnatal recovery support in West Yorkshire

Yes, we support women through postnatal recovery, recognising that pregnancy and childbirth place significant demands on your body that don't always simply resolve on their own once the baby arrives. We take a thorough approach to assessing your core and pelvic floor function, posture, and any specific aches or pains you're experiencing, then build a rehabilitation plan tailored to where you are in your recovery, whether that's weeks or months postpartum. Our aim is to help you rebuild strength and confidence in your body at a pace that respects your recovery, so you can return to the activities and exercise you enjoy.

Yes, back and pelvic pain are very common after having a baby, often related to changes in core and pelvic floor strength, altered posture from carrying and feeding your baby, and the natural softening of ligaments during pregnancy that can take time to fully recover. We assess how your core, pelvic floor, hips and spine are working together, then guide you through a progressive plan of gentle mobility work and targeted strengthening to restore stability and reduce pain.

Returning to exercise safely after pregnancy is about rebuilding your foundation before progressing to more demanding activity, rather than jumping straight back into your pre-pregnancy training routine. We guide you through a graduated sports massage programme that starts with restoring core and pelvic floor function and basic strength, then gradually reintroduces higher-impact or more intense exercise as your body demonstrates it's ready to handle the load. This staged approach helps reduce the risk of issues like pelvic floor dysfunction or ongoing pain, so you can return to running, gym sessions, or sport with a body that's genuinely prepared for it.
