After having your baby, your body needs time, support and the right rehabilitation to recover well. Our Post Natal Physiotherapy service, part of the Women’s Health Clinic at EMPC in Loughborough, helps you rebuild strength, resolve pain and return to the activities you love with confidence.
Diastasis recti is the natural separation of the abdominal muscles that happens during pregnancy to make room for your growing baby. For some women, this gap does not close fully on its own after birth. Our physiotherapists assess the degree of separation and build a tailored core rehabilitation programme to help restore function and ease symptoms such as lower back pain or a bulging tummy.
Your core changed shape and function throughout pregnancy and birth. We assess how your deep abdominal, back and pelvic floor muscles are working together, then build a progressive programme to rebuild strength and control from the inside out.
Getting back to running, gym sessions or your usual sport after having a baby should be gradual and guided. We assess your readiness, check for any diastasis recti, pelvic floor or pelvic girdle issues first, then build a staged plan so you return to exercise safely and confidently.
Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction causes pain around the back of your pelvis, often on one side, and is common after pregnancy and birth. Our physiotherapists identify what is driving your symptoms and combine hands-on treatment with targeted exercise to restore stable, pain-free movement.
Some women experience pelvic pain that continues well beyond the postnatal period. We take a thorough, individual approach to persistent musculoskeletal pelvic pain, looking at your pelvic girdle, core and pelvic floor together to build a plan that addresses the underlying cause, not just the symptoms.

Each package is bespoke and tailored to your needs; the treatments listed show what may be included, not a fixed programme.
Most women can start a post-natal assessment from around six weeks after birth, though this varies depending on your birth and recovery.
For some women the gap closes naturally in the months after birth. For others it needs a structured rehabilitation programme, which is what our assessment is designed to identify and address.
