Pregnancy & postnatal
There are lots of anatomical and physiological changes that occur in the body during pregnancy. Many of our practitioners love supporting women through the exciting pregnancy and postnatal period. We commonly treat aches and pains associated with pregnancy (pelvic girdle pain, sacro-iliac pain, pubic pain, coccyx pain, lower back, rib and back pain) as well as providing guidance on exercise, activity modification and we have Pre & Postnatal Pilates classes too.
To book an appointment to address your pre or postnatal aches and pains with an osteo or physio, click here. We have an excellent relationship with Ballarat’s OGB doctors and nurses/midwives too; you might have been referred to us by them.
To book your Pre or Postnatal Exercise Assessment (Pilates) at our Ballarat clinic click here (if you’d like Buninyong, click here or give us a call). This assessment is required before joining our group exercise classes but can also be used if you would like guidance on another form of exercise or a tailored home exercise program.
We hire TENS machines which you can prebook for your labour. Be sure to get in early as they are extremely popular.
We offer up-to-date, evidence-based mastitis treatment that includes the use of Therapeutic Ultrasound. If you are experiencing mastitis, please give us a call to request an urgent appointment and we will do our best to see you as soon as possible.
