Expert Pregnancy-Related Issues Treatment At The White Hart Clinic
Pregnancy-related pelvic health issues refer to soft tissue changes and pelvic floor symptoms that develop as the body adapts to pregnancy.
As the uterus grows and hormonal changes occur, increased load is placed through the pelvis, abdominal wall and pelvic floor. These changes can affect joint stability, muscle coordination and pressure management.
While many symptoms are common during pregnancy, they are not simply something you have to live with. Specialist pelvic health physiotherapy can help manage discomfort and support optimal function.
Common symptoms we treat:
- Pain at the pubic bone or sacroiliac joints
Pain when turning in bed, walking or climbing stairs
Clicking or a feeling of instability in the pelvis
Lower back pain, particularly when walking or standing for longer periods
Separation of the abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), which may cause the tummy to bulge or dome during movement
Urinary leakage or a feeling of heaviness or pressure in the vagina
- Sciatica
How our Women’s Health Physiotherapists can help:
- Provide a comprehensive assessment tailored to your stage of pregnancy
- Create personalised exercise programmes to strengthen weak muscles or relax overactive ones
