Ready to Feel Strong Again? Post-Pregnancy Strengthening with Physio
Bringing a baby into the world is an incredible feat—but it’s also a massive physical shift. Whether your birth was smooth or complicated, your body has been through a lot. And now that you’ve had your baby, you might be asking:
When will I feel strong again?
Why does my core feel so weak?
Is it safe to exercise yet?
At Exercise Physio Burwood, we support women in the months after birth to rebuild strength safely, manage aches and pains, and regain confidence in their bodies.
What Happens to the Body After Pregnancy?
Pregnancy and childbirth can impact:
Core strength and stability
Pelvic floor function
Posture and spinal alignment
Hip and lower back mobility
Abdominal separation (diastasis recti)
These changes are completely normal—but without proper support, they can lead to longer-term issues like back pain, leakage, poor core engagement, or a feeling of instability during movement.
Why Physiotherapy Is Ideal for Postnatal Recovery
Our physiotherapists offer gentle, evidence-based exercises designed specifically for post-pregnancy bodies.
We assess your:
Abdominal separation
Pelvic floor strength
Movement patterns
Muscle activation and posture
And we guide you through a tailored program that progresses as your body heals.
