Rebuild Your Strength

Expert Postpartum Recovery At The White Hart Clinic

Pregnancy and delivery (whether vaginal or C-section) place significant demand on the pelvic floor, abdominal wall, connective tissues and pelvic joints. In the weeks and months after birth, these structures require time and appropriate rehabilitation to restore strength, coordination and support.

While some changes are expected, ongoing symptoms are not something you simply have to accept. With the right guidance, recovery can be supported safely and effectively.

Common symptoms we treat:

  • Urinary leakage, particularly when coughing, sneezing or exercising
  • A feeling of heaviness or pressure in the vagina

  • Reduced pelvic floor strength or control

  • Pain during intercourse

  • Abdominal weakness or a feeling that the core is not supporting you properly

  • Abdominal separation (diastasis recti), which may cause bulging or doming of the tummy during movement

  • Pelvic girdle pain or discomfort around the hips and pelvis

  • Lower back pain or tailbone pain

  • Feeling uncomfortable returning to exercise or higher-impact activity

How our Women’s Health Physios can help:

  • Provide a comprehensive assessment tailored to your stage of postpartum-recovery
  • Create personalised exercise programmes to support strength,mobility and recovery
  • Guide you with safe return-to-exercise plans, including running and gym-based activities
  • Offer hands-on treatment techniques to relieve pain and improve movement

I had an appointment with Levi regarding a foot problem and I was so impressed with his knowledge and attentive detail, providing a much more holistic service than you would expect to receive.

As a former sports professional, I've experienced many massage therapists in my time, but I've extensively seen Katherine Ranson over the years and stands out above them all. Her expertise, precision and understanding of the human body are exceptional. Massage is far more than just qualifications and her skills truly sets her apart from the rest. If I had to name a GOAT (Greatest of All time) in this field, it would be her.

Grace gave me a good analysis of my shoulder blade muscle pain followed by a very useful set of exercises. These have worked well and are now part of my routine.

My thanks to Cheli for her excellent massage therapy which is easing a persistent foot & leg injury. She has experience of working with injured dancers (I am not one!) and brings that knowledge to help me. A lovely, kind and thoughtful person - with a holistic approach.

Cheli is brilliant. I have a bulging disc in my neck (C7) which causes numbness in my arms if the stress builds up. A few sessions with Cheli and I’m back to normal. Highly recommended

Grace has been excellent in analysing and treating the pain in the outside of my knee. After the first session there was a vast improvement through the exercises she gave me but this then stayed at a lesser but constant level. Grace was clear in her original diagnosis and added on some more specific exercises/ weights that I can incorporate in my normal session. The pain has now almost gone after 6 sessions over a few months.

Grace Newport-Tucker was excellent throughout my physio treatment for my calf injury. She got me on an excellent recovery programme, which was thoughtfully customised to my needs, and provided very helpful knowledge throughout. I highly recommend her as a sports physio!

I have a superb series of treatments from Grace at the White Hart Clinic. I'd had a long term issue with bicep tendons, and after working with Grace this has completely gone. I would highly recommend this physiotherapist to any current or former athletes in need of support.
