Bloom After Birth © – Postnatal Physiotherapy
There’s no need for us to explain that having a baby is a real challenge. While it’s an incredible experience, the physical impact on your body can be tough. Recovering can be a struggle, with many women experiencing issues with their pelvic floor, abdominal muscles, the ‘mummy tummy’, back pain, and more. But there’s something that can help: your Bloom After Birth session here at Flex Physiotherapy
What is Bloom After Birth?
Flex Physiotherapy’s exclusive ‘Bloom After Birth’ appointment goes beyond a standard check-up. Led by a Specialist Pelvic & Women’s Health Physiotherapist, this personalised session tailors to your unique recovery journey. We’ll assess your needs, address any concerns you have about your pelvic floor, core, or other physical changes, and create a plan to help you blossom back to your strongest and healthiest self. This is your chance to reclaim confidence and empower yourself for a full and healthy recovery. Contact us today to learn more and book your appointment!
