What we can help with

Our focus is on your muscles and joints: lower back, hips, pelvis, neck and shoulders, including the strain of feeding and carrying a baby.

How care changes

Positions and techniques are adjusted to suit each stage of pregnancy and recovery. We will explain what we plan to do and check you are comfortable throughout.

Your midwife or doctor

Keep your midwife or doctor informed. We will refer you back if anything needs their attention. Contact them straight away about any bleeding, severe pain or reduced movement of your baby.
