Pregnancy itself is a risk factor for pelvic floor dysfunction. That’s why we recommend all pregnant women book an appointment —whether to take a proactive approach or to address any concerns that may already be present.

During pregnancy, we aim to help prevent and manage:

• Urinary incontinence (bladder leakage)

• Constipation & faecal incontinence

• Pelvic organ prolapse

• Abdominal muscle stretching/DRAM

• Pelvic girdle pain

• Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain

• Hip or pubic symphysis pain

• Back pain

• Carpal tunnel syndrome

From the third trimester, our focus shifts to:

• Birth preparation (for both vaginal and caesarean births)

• Perineal massage

• Prescription and fitting of postpartum support garments

• Postpartum recovery education
