Understanding Pregnancy-Related Changes
Pregnancy brings incredible adaptations to your body — but also new demands on your muscles, joints, and posture. These changes can sometimes lead to discomfort or pain that physiotherapy can effectively manage.
During pregnancy, you may experience:
- Lower back, pelvic, or hip pain
- Sciatica or nerve discomfort
- Wrist and hand pain (carpal tunnel syndrome)
- Rib or thoracic pain
- Swelling and joint stiffness
After childbirth, common concerns include:
- Postnatal back or neck pain
- Pelvic floor weakness or dysfunction
- Abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti)
- Scar recovery (C-section or perineal)
- Postural issues from feeding or lifting
Why Does It Happen
As your baby grows, your body releases hormones that relax your ligaments and joints to prepare for birth. While essential, these changes can affect your posture, stability, and muscle balance.
Our pregnancy physiotherapists help you manage these shifts safely with tailored treatment plans that relieve pain, restore alignment, and support your strength throughout pregnancy and recovery.

Michael Clarke
Giuseppe has helped me recover from a number of rugby injuries over the last few years. Every time the diagnosis and prescribed treatment has got me back to rugby far quicker than originally forecasted by other physios. Having seen a lot of physios over the last 10 years, I always felt there was a “one size fits all” approach and the treatment seemed quite generic. This is Giuseppe’s point of difference, he truly takes time to understand the issue an recommended a course of treatment that always feels bespoke to me and my particularly injury. Would highly recommend!
Dana Burik
Giuseppe has guided me through post-shoulder surgery rehab, working toward getting back into competitive rugby. We worked closely together for about 7 months, seeing him twice a week for gym and rugby contact sessions as well as hands on treatment. I absolutely loved working with Giuseppe, making visible progress week by week. I couldn't have asked for a better person to guide me through my rehab process; Giuseppe didn't only pay attention to my shoulder, but also overall fitness and the mental aspect. All of this resulted in me getting back on the pitch stronger and fitter than ever. 12/10 would recommend him to anyone!
Stephen Taylor
I have had lower back pain on and off for years - recently the pain had worsened tremendously. After trying everything - chiropractors, other physios, even yoga, nothing was working. I came across Giuseppe and the Physio Box on Facebook and opted in for a 15 minute assessment. Straight away I felt relaxed in the clinic and hope that I could get this problem fixed started to creep in again... I went ahead with a care package and now the pain is completely gone... I can't thank Giuseppe enough - his healing hands are nothing short of magical. Thank you so much - 100% recommendation.
Jonathan Clark
If Google allowed me to give Giuseppe at The Physio Box 6 stars, then I would! 5 will have to do! An outstanding Physiotherapist! Highly recommended!
Oli Hillyer-Riley
From initial consultation to 4 ongoing sessions lasting a month Giuseppe worked closely with me to fix my back injury suffered from sport. As well as treatment he showed me exercises and stretches to perform between my visits which has meant a thorough recovery. I would highly recommend Giuseppe.
