What are the benefits?
Pre-natal Physiotherapy
Pregnancy is both an amazing, life changing experience, and also a transformation for your body, affecting your hormones, posture, balance and pelvic floor.

Alongside this, Katie and Mel will offer manual therapy techniques to alleviate any aches and pains associated with this wonderful yet transformative experience.

Benefits may include, pelvic floor and abdominal rehabilitation, scar tissue management, pain management, and help returning to sport and exercise.
