Assessment, treatment, and progress
Understand your symptoms
Tell us where you feel discomfort, when it appears and what your midwife or GP has advised. We consider whether clinic physiotherapy is suitable before agreeing treatment.
Make everyday movement easier
We look at tasks such as getting out of bed, walking and sitting. Advice and exercises are selected around your symptoms, comfort and stage of pregnancy.
Review as your needs change
We review what is helping and adjust your plan as symptoms or daily demands change. Your maternity team remains the contact for pregnancy concerns.

What sort of pregnancy care is this?
This service addresses muscle and joint pain and movement during pregnancy. For pelvic girdle pain or specialist pelvic health needs, speak to your midwife or GP and contact us about suitability before booking.
What should I bring?
Bring any relevant advice or restrictions from your maternity team and tell us how far along your pregnancy is. Comfortable clothing that allows movement is helpful.
When should I contact my maternity team first?
Contact your GP or midwife urgently for back pain in the second or third trimester, or with fever, vaginal bleeding, pain when passing urine or pain under your ribs. Call 999 or go to A&E for loss of feeling in your legs, bottom or genitals. If pelvic pain makes walking, stairs or turning in bed difficult, contact your midwife or GP.
