Pregnancy and Postnatal Physiotherapy

Experience a fresh, innovative holistic Physiotherapy approach at Energy + Motion supporting women through preconception, pregnancy, the postnatal phase and beyond.

We use one hour initial appointments so we can thoroughly assess, find the cause of your issues, provide treatment, and teach self-management methods. You leave knowing effective tips and tricks to continue treatment between sessions.

Our centre is baby friendly. We support meeting baby’s needs and breastfeeding and feeding on demand and changing as needed. We understand that babies need to be close and are welcome to attend appointments with you. To maintain the focus on you and your needs, sometimes having a second pair of hands is handy during appointments. We also understand this isn’t always possible. Either way, we run with what you need, as you need.

We also offer emergency appointments as needed, especially for issues like mastitis that benefit from urgent assessment and treatment.
