POST-NATAL REHABILITATION CARE
Specialty exercises and therapy to encourage recovery after pregnancy.
SERVICE DESCRIPTION
The journey through pregnancy and motherhood is both an exciting and challenging time. Post-Natal Rehabilitation Care is designed to support you every step of the way. Programme includes 8 x 45 minute customised sessions. This service focuses on rebuilding strength, restoring balance, and helping you move freely and comfortably during this transformative stage. Post-Natal Rehabilitation Care Helps With: • Recovery from childbirth: Helps restore function, strength, and mobility after childbirth, including pelvic floor rehabilitation and abdominal healing. • Core and pelvic floor rehabilitation: A specialised focus on regaining strength and control of the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles that may be weakened or overstretched during pregnancy and birth. • Postural alignment and muscle rebalancing: Addresses changes in posture and muscle imbalances that can occur post-pregnancy. • Strengthening and toning: Rebuilds strength, particularly in the core and pelvic region, while improving mobility and flexibility to help you feel strong, healthy, and energised. Techniques Used: This rehabilitation care incorporates evidence-based exercise, manual therapy, and pelvic health exercises to support your recovery. I design a personalised program tailored to your specific needs - whether you’re in your second trimester, recovering from childbirth, or managing symptoms such as diastasis recti (abdominal separation) or pelvic pain. You’ll receive gentle and effective care, with a focus on restoring balance and function while prioritising your comfort and well-being. About Your Therapist: As a mother and Clinical Exercise Physiologist with specialised training in pre and postnatal care, I understand the complexities and unique challenges that come with pregnancy and childbirth. I offer a compassionate, holistic approach that focuses on healing, rehabilitation, and preventing long-term discomfort. My goal is to help you regain your strength, improve your posture, and guide you through a healthy, supported recovery journey so you can feel confident in your body again.

I had a hamstring tear that wasn’t healing properly until I came here. Melanie's combination of massage, mobilisation and rehab exercises helped me recover safely and return to training much sooner than expected!
RACHAEL L.
Postpartum was harder than I expected but these massages helped my posture and back tension! After birth I had a lot of neck and shoulder tension from breastfeeding, the post-natal massage released so much of that. It also gave me rare quiet time to recharge mentally and reconnect with my body.

As a runner, I started seeing Melanie for preventative treatment. She assessed imbalances and tight spots and adjusted my treatment accordingly to avoid overuse injuries. Her proactive approach to injury prevention kept my body aligned during marathon prep. Absolutely essential for performance!

After a car accident I had chronic neck and back issues. Melanie's rehab plan was detailed, clear, and adapted over time. I always felt listened to, and now I’m back to work pain-free!
