message from our founder, Sarah norris
“Pregnancy is a time of incredible transformation, but the profound physical changes your body goes through can often bring unexpected discomfort. Many women are told that aching hips, a clicking pelvis, or a sore lower back are simply ‘part of the package’.
At our specialised Liverpool pelvic health clinic, we are here to change that narrative. While pregnancy-related aches are incredibly common, the good news is that they are highly treatable.”
Our specialist 1-on-1 pregnancy physio is here to help.
Our advanced postgraduate training allows us to accurately diagnose and treat a wide range of pregnancy-specific musculoskeletal and pelvic floor conditions including:
-
Pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain (PGP / SPD)
Sharp pain, catching, or deep aching at the front of your pelvis (SPD) or in the sacroiliac (SIJ) joints at the back of your hips, making walking, standing on one leg, or rolling over in bed painful.
-
Antenatal lower back pain & sciatica
A dull, persistent ache in the lumbar spine or a shooting neural pain down the glutes and thigh, caused by your growing bump shifting your centre of gravity.
-
Pregnancy urinary incontinence & urgency
Leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, laugh, or exercise due to the dual load of hormonal changes and structural weight on your pelvic floor muscles.
-
Rib, intercostal, and thoracic pain:
Intense pressure or aching just under the breastbone or upper back as your ribcage naturally expands to accommodate your baby.
-
Pregnancy-Related carpal tunnel syndrome & wrist pain
Waking with numb, tingling or painful hands? Pregnancy swelling can compress the median nerve, making gripping difficult. We provide expert treatment to relieve symptoms.
What to expect at your consultation.
We pride ourselves on providing an empathetic, thoroughly detailed clinical experience. Your initial private consultation is tailored completely to your comfort levels and stage of gestation.
Comprehensive Biomechanical & Postural Assessment
We don’t only treat where it hurts; we find out why it hurts. Our expert staff evaluates your standing posture, pelvis, hip mobility, and muscle recruitment strategies to identify muscle imbalances driving your discomfort.
Tailored Hands-On Therapy & Birth Preparation
Your bespoke rehabilitation plan may include:
-
Safe, highly localised joint mobilisations and pregnancy-safe soft tissue release to instantly reduce muscle spasm and ease joint tracking.
-
Functional movements utilising resistance bands or weights to strengthen your glutes and deep abdominals, naturally reducing the workload on your joints.
-
Strategic advice on pacing your daily routines, setting up your sleeping posture for optimal positioning, and advice on pelvic support belts.
-
Teaching you perineal massage, labour positions, alongside targeted down-training (relaxation) of the pelvic floor to optimise your delivery.
Backed by Clinical Evidence & UK Guidelines
Our clinical pathways match the exact recommendations of Pelvic, Obstetric and Gynaecological Physiotherapy (POGP) and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
Landmark UK epidemiological research demonstrates that 50% to 70% of pregnant women will experience lumbo-pelvic pain at some point during their pregnancy. Crucially, statistics confirm that 1 in 5 pregnant women (20%) develop Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) severe enough to impact their daily mobility.
The evidence proves that early intervention by an expert-trained pelvic health physiotherapist radically shortens recovery times and prevents antenatal pain from settling into chronic, long-term postpartum issues.
