The Physio Rooms
Post-Natal and Women’s Health Physiotherapy in London
Post-natal physiotherapy that helps you regain strength, confidence and function after pregnancy and delivery, covering pelvic girdle pain, abdominal separation, pelvic floor weakness and a graded return to running, at whatever stage you are starting from.
What happens at your first appointment?
Your first visit is a full 60-minute assessment: a detailed history, then testing of how you move, how strong you are and what the painful area is actually doing. We explain the working diagnosis in plain English and agree a plan with you before any treatment starts.
You leave with a written summary and a home programme, emailed the same day and loaded into the Move Health app so the technique stays right between visits.
Post-natal physiotherapy can help you to:
Settle pelvic girdle and lower back pain
Pain through the pelvis and lower back is one of the most common reasons women come to us after birth, and it is very treatable. Assessment identifies what is driving it, and targeted work usually makes a meaningful difference within a few weeks.
Rebuild pelvic floor and core function
Abdominal separation, pelvic floor weakness and urinary leakage are common after delivery, and they are not something you simply have to live with. We assess pelvic floor function and core strength properly and build a programme from there.
Return to running and the gym safely
Going back to impact too early is a frequent cause of setbacks. We assess whether your body is ready and build the strength that needs to be in place first, so the return is graded rather than a leap of faith.
Manage the physical demands of a new baby
Feeding positions, carrying, lifting a car seat and pushing a pram load the neck, back and wrists in ways nobody warns you about. Practical adjustments alongside the strength work make daily life considerably more comfortable.
Recover after a Caesarean section
Scar discomfort, reduced core function and uncertainty about what is safe are all common after a Caesarean. We work through scar management, graded core rehabilitation and clear guidance on what you can do at each stage.

I saw Amanda for a problem I've been having with a painful shoulder. She explained to me what the problem was, did a thorough treatment session and gave me some exercises to do to improve it. Very professional and friendly, I highly recommend her.
I first visited Amanda following a maisonneuve fracture. That day I walked 107 steps in a camboot with two crutches. I have visited weekly. Yesterday I walked 13,315 steps (no crutches, no boot). The transformation is truly amazing.
I booked with Michelle for my first appointment. When I stood up I said to her it feels like heaven as my continuous back pain had totally gone. I was totally pain free for 7 hours so bless you Michelle.
Excellent treatment of my lower back and related sciatica injuries from CrossFit. Definitely my go-to therapist when in dire need of pain relief.

From injury to longevity
the Origin Health journey
Most people arrive with something that hurts. What happens after that is the part most clinics leave to chance. We treat the problem, rebuild the capacity you lost, then keep you strong enough that it stays fixed.
Treat
Hands-on manual therapy chosen for your presentation, with Western medical acupuncture or soft-tissue work added where they help. Treatment is not the goal in itself: it opens the window to move and load properly.
Rebuild
Progressive, coached exercise rehabilitation restores the strength and load tolerance you lost, with full gym facilities at both clinics. This is the stage that decides whether the fix lasts.
Stay well
Each follow-up measures you against your own baseline. We discharge you when you have the strength and the tools to manage alone, with clinical Pilates, sports massage and golf screening on hand to keep you there.
The starting point for better health. Our clinics work together to take you from injury, through recovery and performance, to the kind of health that holds up for decades. One team, one plan, one record of where you started.

FAQ
FAQs
How soon after birth can I see a post-natal physiotherapist?
Gentle assessment and early guidance are appropriate from around six weeks after an uncomplicated delivery, usually after your postnatal check. After a Caesarean or a complicated birth we work to your medical team’s guidance. There is no upper limit: many women come months or years later.
Is it too late if I gave birth years ago?
No. Pelvic floor weakness, abdominal separation and pelvic girdle pain all respond to properly targeted rehabilitation regardless of how long ago you gave birth. A significant proportion of the women we treat are several years post-natal and make good progress.
When can I start running again after having a baby?
Return to impact is generally considered from around three months post-natal at the earliest, and only once you have the pelvic floor and lower limb strength to support it. We assess that rather than guessing, then build a graded return so it holds.
Do you carry out internal pelvic floor examinations?
Assessment of pelvic floor function forms part of the service, and what that involves is discussed with you first so you can give informed consent. Nothing happens without your agreement, and a great deal can be assessed and treated without an internal examination.
