Women’s Health
At Back on Track Physiotherapy we understand it takes a village to raise a child and support a mum. Pregnancy can be exciting, scary and uncomfortable all at the same time. Our comprehensive range of women's health services ensure we can support you prior to conception, right through to the postnatal period and throughout your journey as a mother.
Prenatal Program
At Back on Track Physiotherapy we are passionate about providing outstanding ante-natal care. We have developed a pilates program that ensures you remain fit, strong and healthy throughout your pregnancy and prepares you for life as a mum.
Back on Track’s Prenatal Program is designed to help you exercise during your pregnancy safely, to help control and relieve aches and pains associated with pregnancy and to help to help prepare your body for labour.
Our program includes ten personalised clinical pilates classes tailored to your individual fitness, symptoms and goals.
In addition to the exercise classes each week is accompanied by an education session. These sessions are designed to help inform you with the information you need to know and help grow your resource network with a team of local ‘mum’ experts.
Prenatal Physiotherapy
Growing a small human is hard work and each mum and pregnancy can be different. Many women can suffer with back and neck pain, pelvis and hip pain and assume it's just part of being pregnant. However, techniques such as massage, manual therapy, bracing/taping and exercise can help control pain and make your pregnancy comfortable so you can focus on the important parts.
Exercise during pregnancy can be daunting, our team can help guide you to continue safely exercising right up to your due date should you choose to.
Labour Preparation
Preparing for labour can be daunting. Our pelvic health physiotherapists can assist with preparing your body for labour through assessments at 20 and 36 weeks, we can provide you with advice and preparation tools to help your delivery go smoothly.
Obstetric TENS Hire
We have Obstetric TENS units for hire for your labour. TENS is a safe and drug- free alternative to pain management during labour. A transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator ( known as TENS) works by sending electrical pulses through the skin to start your body’s own pain killers. The electrical pulses can release endorphins and other substances to stop pain signals in the brain, which can help control mild pain and distraction from contractions.
