Pregnancy Physiotherapy

Your body is doing something remarkable - and we're here to support it

Pregnancy brings significant physical change – and with it, a range of musculoskeletal demands that can affect how you move, sleep, and feel day to day. Some discomfort is common. That doesn’t mean you have to put up with it.

Pregnancy physiotherapy at Sum of Us is delivered by practitioners with specialist training in prenatal and postnatal care. Treatment is hands-on, evidence-based, and built around your stage of pregnancy, your history, and what you’re actually experiencing.

Whether you’re managing pain, preparing your body for birth, or looking for guidance on staying active safely throughout pregnancy, we’re here from the first trimester through to postpartum recovery.

What We Help With

Pregnancy physiotherapy addresses a broad range of conditions. We commonly treat:

Lower back and pelvic girdle pain – including sacroiliac joint pain and pubic symphysis dysfunction
Pelvic floor concerns – weakness, heaviness, or leakage during pregnancy or postpartum
Diastasis recti (abdominal separation) – assessment, management, and safe return to exercise
Round ligament and hip pain
Sciatica and nerve-related leg pain
Rib and thoracic pain as the body adapts to a growing belly
Carpal tunnel syndrome – common in pregnancy due to fluid retention
Postural changes and associated neck and upper back pain
Birth preparation – including perineal massage guidance, positioning, and breathing techniques
Postnatal recovery – returning to movement, exercise, and daily life after birth

What to Expect at Your Appointment

Your first appointment begins with a thorough conversation about your symptoms, stage of pregnancy, and goals. From there, your physiotherapist will assess your movement, posture, and the specific area of concern.

Treatment is always adapted to pregnancy – so hands-on techniques, exercises, and any load-bearing work are selected with your safety and comfort in mind. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of what’s happening in your body and practical steps to manage it between sessions.

Our practitioners tailor treatment to changing needs across pregnancy, helping maintain function and confidence while preparing for postpartum recovery.
