At All for One Yarraville, our [postnatal physiotherapy](https://www.allforone.com.au/treatment/womens-health-physiotherapy/) services are designed to help new mums heal with expert guidance, genuine care, and a whole-body approach. Whether you’re weeks or months postpartum, our goal is to help you feel stronger, more comfortable, and more confident in your body. Because when you’re supported, you can care for yourself *and* your little one with more ease and energy. ### Why See a Physiotherapist After Giving Birth? Postnatal physiotherapy isn’t only for women experiencing pain or complications—it’s for every mum who wants to recover well, reconnect with their body, and return to movement safely. During pregnancy and birth, your body undergoes significant changes: - The **pelvic floor** is placed under pressure - The **abdominal wall** stretches (sometimes separating, known as **diastasis recti**) - Posture, joint stability and movement patterns all adapt - You may have undergone a **caesarean section** or experienced perineal tearing - Feeding, lifting, and disrupted sleep often cause **neck, back and shoulder pain** Without proper care, these changes can lead to ongoing issues like incontinence, prolapse, unresolved abdominal separation, or chronic pain. But with **early physiotherapy intervention**, many of these issues can be resolved—or avoided altogether. ### Common Reasons Women Seek Postnatal Physio - **Pelvic floor weakness or dysfunction** - **Abdominal separation (diastasis recti)** - **Urinary leakage or urgency** - **Pelvic pain or heaviness** - **Pain with intimacy** - **Caesarean or perineal scar management** - **Hip, back or neck pain from feeding or lifting** - **Uncertainty about returning to exercise** - **Desire for a full postnatal check-up** Our Women’s Health Physiotherapists work with you to assess, treat and guide you based on your specific experience and goals. ### What to Expect at Your First Appointment Your initial consult is 100% focused on *you*. We’ll start with a comprehensive history—your pregnancy, birth, and any symptoms you’re experiencing now. You’ll never be rushed, and we’ll explain everything we do along the way. We may assess: - Pelvic floor function - Abdominal wall and core strength - Posture, breathing and movement patterns - Areas of tightness, pain or imbalance - Surgical scars or healing concerns From there, you’ll receive a tailored recovery plan. That might include pelvic floor exercises, core retraining, hands-on treatment, or progressing into [Clinical Pilates](https://www.allforone.com.au/classes/clinical-pilates/) or [Mums & Bubs Pilates](https://www.allforone.com.au/classes/mums-and-bubs/) when you’re ready. ### When Should You See a Postnatal Physio? There’s no strict timeline—you can come in as soon as 2 weeks postpartum, or even years later if you’re still dealing with unresolved symptoms. The earlier, the better, but it’s *never too late* to start caring for your postnatal body. We recommend booking a **comprehensive postnatal assessment** at around 6 weeks postpartum, once you’ve had your standard check-up with your GP or obstetrician. ### Recovering Close to Home If you’re based in **Yarraville**, **Seddon**, **Kingsville**, **Footscray**, or anywhere nearby in Melbourne’s Inner West, our Yarraville studio offers a welcoming, greenery-filled space where you can prioritise your recovery without needing to travel far. We understand the juggle of new motherhood, and we’re here to support you with care that’s expert, flexible, and local. ### What About Exercise After Birth? We know that many new mums are keen to “get back to exercise”—but the truth is, returning to movement requires *the right kind* of support. That’s where our **Clinical Pilates** and **Mums & Bubs Pilates** classes come in. Led by our physiotherapists, these classes are designed to: - Rebuild your core and pelvic floor safely - Improve posture and balance - Ease tension and reconnect with your body - Gradually return to full-body strength Our **Mums & Bubs Pilates** sessions are relaxed and welcoming—babies are welcome to come along, and class sizes are small so we can keep it all personal and supportive. ### What Makes All for One Different? We combine clinical expertise with a whole-human approach. At our Yarraville studio, you’ll work with a team who understands the physical and emotional journey of early motherhood. Here’s what sets us apart: - **Physiotherapist-led care** - **Evidence-based assessments and treatments** - **A collaborative team** offering Pilates, massage and more under one roof - **Small, supportive classes** with real guidance - **A calm, non-judgemental space** where you’ll always feel welcome ### Ready to Begin Your Recovery?
