Pre & Post Natal Therapy in White Rock
Safely alleviate intense lower back pain, repair highly strained pelvic floors, and return to an active lifestyle following pregnancy and childbirth.
Empowered, Pain-Free Pregnancy
Pregnancy is an incredibly beautiful journey, but it also forcefully alters your body's center of gravity, severely stretches core abdominal tissue, and places massive hormonal strain on your pelvic joints and ligaments.
Whether you are currently carrying and dealing with agonizing sciatic nerve pain, or you are deeply in the postpartum stage struggling with core weakness, incontinence, or diastasis recti—our trained physiotherapists provide the absolutely critical intervention required to rebuild your core architecture and stop chronic maternal pain.

Our Complete Maternal Pathway
Safe, specific phases of physical therapy tailored beautifully to the trimesters of your pregnancy and the speed of your postpartum recovery.
1. Pre-Natal Pain Relief
Utilizing specialized pregnancy pillows and gentle manual release techniques to safely relieve mid-back burning and severe sciatic compression.
2. Labor Biomechanics
Educating you strictly on dynamic hip mobilizations, deep diaphragmatic breathing, and optimal straining positions for actual delivery day.
3. Early Postpartum Core
Initiating hyper-specific micro-exercises designed solely to slowly draw diastasis recti (abdominal separation) back together without risking a hernia.
4. Return to Activity
Once cleared, we transition you to strength training and pelvic floor impact loading so you can aggressively run or lift again without fear of leakage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is manual therapy safe during my first trimester?expand_more
Yes. Physiotherapy is universally safe across all trimesters. We modify our manual positions entirely; utilizing specialized bolsters so you do not have to lie flat on your stomach, ensuring absolute safety for both you and the baby while still working your spinal muscles.
When should I start postpartum physiotherapy?expand_more
While you can begin exceedingly gentle deep core breathing immediately, we typically recommend waiting for your universal 6-week postpartum medical clearance (from your doctor or midwife) before safely beginning direct abdominal physical therapy, internal pelvic loading, or scar mapping.
How do you actually treat Diastasis Recti?expand_more
Standard sit-ups will actually make your abdominal tearing worse. We use real-time assessment to teach you how to properly engage your deep Transverse Abdominis muscle—a biological "corset" that safely anchors your rectus muscles and naturally shrinks the stubborn gap without pushing organs outward.
Can I bring my baby to the appointment?expand_more
Absolutely! We understand childcare for infants is incredibly difficult. You are highly encouraged to bring your newborn to the treatment room. We are completely adaptable and will happily pause treatments for feeding, crying, or comforting.
