First day of your last period (or leave blank)
We'll calculate how many weeks pregnant you are and your estimated due date.
Is this your first pregnancy?
Has your doctor cleared you for exercise?
Understand what may be happening
Start with a clear explanation—not assumptions
Pelvic-floor care is not simply about doing more contractions. Muscles also need to coordinate, respond to pressure and relax. Individual assessment helps determine what is appropriate.
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?
The focus depends on your assessment and priorities. Goals may include understanding symptoms, improving movement or coordination, managing discomfort, building capacity and returning to meaningful activities with greater confidence.
