The team at Physio Effect include specially trained physiotherapists and massage therapists who can provide treatment from bump, birth and beyond. Below are some common problems we can help you with that may be encountered by new mums or during pregnancy:
Low back pain
Thoracic pain
Pelvic girdle and Sacroiliac joint pain
Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD)
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
De Quervain's Tenosynovitis
Tendinopathies
Diastasis Recti (abdominal separation)
Pelvic Floor dysfunction
Some of these issues may hamper normal movement and function during pregnancy and may persist long after childbirth, making coping with a new baby and a return to normal activities very difficult. It is easy to dismiss these problems as “just part of pregnancy”, however certain conditions and symptoms can be significantly improved and some completely resolved with the correct treatment and management programme.
Physiotherapy can play a vital role in the prevention and management of the physical discomforts and problems that can arise from the way in which the body adapts and changes during and after pregnancy. As well as the specialist exercise classes we offer a range of other services. Please explore these below:

“Mariam was very friendly and knowledgeable and I feel that this is such a neglected part of women’s health . I am really looking forward to attending the cry baby post natal class and am feeling much more positive about taking up exercise again thanks to all the helpful advice and support I have received so far.”
