Postnatal Physiotherapy Tarragindi
Post-Birth Physio on Brisbane's Southside
Giving birth is a significant life event both physically and emotionally. Investing in your physical recovery from birth is truly important, and the window to get on top of small problems before they become big problems is short. Although simply caring for a newborn can feel overwhelming in itself, investing the time in caring for yourself post-birth is incredibly important. A women's health physiotherapist can help to address muscle weakness and fatigue (including abdominal and pelvic floor), incontinence, abdominal separation, pelvic pain and low back pain. Getting on top of these issues early truly can make the transition into motherhood more comfortable and enjoyable.
At Articulate Physiotherapy, our women's health physiotherapist Melissa Harris specialises in providing personalised postnatal care in a calming and welcoming environment. We understand the unique demands of the postpartum period and offer a range of services including:
Women's health physiotherapy uses a combination of thorough asessments, manual therapy, exercise prescription, education, and home exercise progrms, to help alleviate discomfort, improve posture, and restore functional capacity, or reduce urinary incontinence. Here at Articulate we are able to utilise real time ultrasound in order to assess muscle separation or weakness and have a wonderful referral network where we can help you to find the best team for any more complex problems.
In addition to our postnatal physiotherapy services, Articulate also offers an 8 Week Postnatal Pilates course, as well as Physio-led Clinical Exercise classes to help you regain your fitness and wellness after childbirth. Our classes are designed to help new mothers restore their physical strength and improve their overall wellbeing.

At Articulate Physiotherapy, our women's health physiotherapist Melissa Harris specialises in providing personalised postnatal care in a calming and welcoming environment. We understand the unique demands of the postpartum period and offer a range of services including:
- General postnatal check-up: Before returning to exercise and more strenuous activity, our women's health team can provide a comprehensive 6-10 week check-up to address pelvic floor and abdominal strength and healing, allowing you to feel safe in your activities.
- Pelvic floor weakness : Vaginal deliveries, Caesareans, Gynaecological surgery, and Post Menopausal Women can display very different pelvic floor issues between patients, which is why a face to face appointment w ith a women's health physiotherapist is so important. Pelvic floor exercises and Pilates can help by strengthening these muscles and improving overall function.
- Abdominal separation: Many women experience a separation of the abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) after childbirth. Physiotherapy can help by promoting proper abdominal muscle function and improving core stability through targeted exercises and manual therapy.
- Pelvic pain: Childbirth can result in pelvic instability - however, this is very rare. Not addressing symptoms can cause pain, exercise limitations, and your normal daily activity, and discomfort.
- Low back pain: The physical demands of caring for a newborn can place extra stress on the back, leading to pain and discomfort. Physiotherapy can help by relieving tension in the back muscles, improving posture, and promoting proper alignment through exercise and manual therapy.
- Pelvic health and incontinence: Incontinence and pelvic floor concerns are common post birth. Although the symptoms can be embarrassing, our team truly believes that catching these problems early is key and can provide a treatment plan to address concerns and increase function and quality of life.
