Pre & Postnatal Physiotherapy Services In Katong, Singapore
Sometimes pregnancy and the postnatal period is not all smooth sailing and know that we are here to help. We are passionate about partnering with our women during pregnancy to lead them through their best pregnancy and postnatal recovery.
Our bodies are strong and adaptable, however due to the hormonal fluctuations (aka ‘pregnancy soup’) you may notice your abdominal wall lengthening, rib cage expanding, the pelvis widening, pelvic floor muscles under more strain, slowing down of bowel movements and more frequent trips to the bathroom.
These essential changes may give rise to common discomforts and inconveniences that can benefit from working with a women’s health physiotherapist. If it bothers you, reach out to our team.
We are passionate about partnering with our women starting in pregnancy to lead them through their best pregnancy and postnatal recovery.
