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.

You Don’t Have to “Bounce Back”—But You Deserve to Feel Strong

We’re not here to push unrealistic fitness goals. Instead, we help you:

  • Reconnect with your body

  • Strengthen your core and pelvic floor

  • Manage fatigue and muscle tension

  • Prevent injury when lifting, feeding, or carrying your baby

  • Gradually return to exercise, sport or work feeling supported

Whether you’re 6 weeks postpartum or 6 months, it’s never too late to start.

Post-Pregnancy Conditions We Help With:

  • Diastasis recti (abdominal separation)

  • Pelvic girdle pain or instability

  • Incontinence or pelvic floor weakness

  • Hip, back or neck pain from feeding and holding baby
