Postpartum recovery assessment
Recovery looks different for everyone. A few questions help us understand where you are.
This assessment is for information and appointment planning only. It does not diagnose any condition or replace advice from your doctor. In an emergency call 112.
Baby's date of birth
We'll calculate how many weeks postpartum you are.
Type of birth
Tear or episiotomy?
Understand what may be happening
Start with a clear explanation—not assumptions
Postpartum physiotherapy can help you understand physical changes, rebuild capacity gradually and address symptoms. Recovery timing differs, and care accounts for birth experience, healing and personal priorities.
Private, respectful and consent-led
You should understand why any assessment is being suggested and what it involves. Sensitive examination is never automatic and should only happen when appropriate, with your informed consent.
Our approach
Care built with you, not simply given to you
Begin with your story, priorities and the activities you want to return to.
Explain findings in clear language, with time for questions and shared decisions.
Build a practical plan that may include education, hands-on care and progressive movement.
Review progress and adapt care to your comfort, goals and stage of life.
Your appointment
What can care work toward?
