Online physiotherapy in pregnancy and after delivery

Back pain, pelvic pain, wrist pain from carrying a baby, a gap in the tummy muscles, and not knowing when it is safe to exercise again are common in pregnancy and the months after. Physiotherapy helps with all of these, and online sessions mean you do not have to travel with a bump or a newborn. Sessions available in English, Telugu, and Hindi, and you can ask for a female or male physiotherapist.

Why online physiotherapy works for pregnancy and postnatal recovery

Leaving home is hard late in pregnancy and in the first months with a baby. Sessions at home can fit around feeds and naps

Most of the treatment is exercise, positioning and advice, which can be guided closely on video

Your physiotherapist sees how you feed, lift and carry your baby at home, and suggests changes that ease neck, back and wrist strain

You can ask for a female physiotherapist, which many women prefer for pregnancy and postnatal care

When in-person care is better

Contact your obstetrician or go to hospital urgently for vaginal bleeding, fluid leaking, regular painful tightening before 37 weeks, reduced baby movements, severe headache with vision changes, or a swollen, painful calf. After delivery, also seek care for fever, a caesarean wound that is red or leaking, heavy bleeding or chest pain. Your physiotherapist works alongside your obstetrician, not instead of them.

Frequently asked questions

Is physiotherapy safe during pregnancy?
Yes, for most women with an uncomplicated pregnancy. Exercises are chosen for your stage of pregnancy, and your physiotherapist will ask about any advice or restrictions from your obstetrician. If your doctor has advised you not to exercise, tell us and we will work within that.
When can I start after delivery?
Gentle pelvic floor exercises and walking can often begin within days of a normal delivery. After a caesarean, gentle movement starts early, and more structured exercise usually waits until your doctor clears you, often around six to eight weeks. Your physiotherapist will plan around your delivery and recovery.
Can I have a female physiotherapist?
Yes. You can ask for a female physiotherapist when you book, and we will always match that request.
Can I bring the baby to the session?
Yes. Your baby can be with you, and sessions can pause for feeds. Some of the most useful advice is about lifting, carrying and feeding positions, so having your baby there can help.
