Empowering Mothers Through Every Stage
At ActiveCare Physiotherapy & Rehab, we know that pregnancy is an incredible journey that brings both joy and challenges. Our Pre & Post Pregnancy Program is designed to provide support for expectant and new mothers at every stage of their pregnancy, helping to alleviate pain, promote strength, and guide recovery after childbirth. With a focus on prevention, we’re here to help you stay strong and active throughout your pregnancy and beyond.
What is the Pre & Post Pregnancy Program?
Our program is a specialized physiotherapy service for women during pregnancy and after childbirth. Pregnancy puts unique stresses on your body, from postural changes to increased joint mobility, which can lead to pain and discomfort. After birth, your body needs time to recover, and our physiotherapy program is designed to help with that transition.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
You can start at any stage of pregnancy. Many women find physiotherapy especially helpful in the second and third trimesters when the body begins to experience more significant changes.
We recommend beginning as early as 6 weeks postpartum, but we tailor programs based on your needs and comfort level.
