Pregnancy is one of the most transformative experiences a woman will go through. Alongside the joy comes real physical and emotional strain: back pain, pelvic weakness, fatigue, posture changes, anxiety, and a body that needs time and support to heal.
At Teamwork Physiotherapy Centre International we believe recovery should not be left to chance. Our prenatal and postnatal rehabilitation programme is compassionate, evidence-based and holistic, delivered by physiotherapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, nutritionists and yoga specialists working together.
During pregnancy, we help you
- Manage lower back and pelvic pain safely with gentle exercise, posture strategies and pain relief techniques
- Strengthen your core and pelvic floor for labour, with exercises tailored to each trimester
- Improve posture, breathing and circulation: safe sitting, standing and lifting, swelling reduction and relaxation
- Prepare body and mind for childbirth through prenatal yoga for flexibility, relaxation and emotional balance
- Learn pain relief and relaxation strategies: breathing control, guided stretching and labour preparation
After delivery, we support your recovery

Gentle pelvic floor and breathing exercises can begin within days of birth. A full postnatal assessment is ideal at around six weeks, or sooner if you have pain or leakage.
Can you help after a caesarean section?
Yes. We help with scar healing and sensitivity, safe movement, core recovery and returning to exercise after a C-section.
