Postnatal Treatment

Helping your body recover after birth

The weeks and months after having a baby place significant physical demands on your body. Feeding, carrying, lifting and interrupted sleep can all contribute to pain and muscle tension.

Postnatal treatment focuses on supporting your recovery after birth and may address:

  • Neck and shoulder pain
  • Mid and lower back pain
  • Pelvic discomfort
  • Core weakness
  • Muscle tightness
  • Postural strain from feeding and carrying your baby

Every recovery journey is different. Our practitioners work with you to develop an individual treatment approach that considers your birth experience, recovery goals and daily activities.

Post-natal treatment

C-Section Scar Release Therapy

Exclusive to our Healesville Clinic

A Caesarean section is major abdominal surgery, and while the skin may heal within weeks, the deeper layers of tissue can continue to change during recovery.

Scar tissue may contribute to:

  • Tightness around the scar
  • Restricted movement
  • Pulling sensations
  • Abdominal discomfort
  • Reduced tissue mobility

C-Section Scar Release Therapy uses gentle, hands-on techniques designed to improve tissue mobility and help address scar-related restrictions. Treatment is always adapted to your stage of healing and individual presentation.

Our therapists will also provide guidance on self-management and ongoing scar care where appropriate.

Internal Pelvic Release Therapy

Exclusive to our Healesville Clinic

Internal Pelvic Release Therapy is a specialised assessment and treatment approach provided by appropriately trained practitioners for selected pelvic floor conditions.

This treatment may form part of the management of concerns such as:

  • Pelvic floor muscle tension
  • Pain with intercourse
  • Persistent pelvic pain
  • Pelvic muscle dysfunction
  • Recovery following pregnancy and birth

Because every person's presentation is different, treatment begins with a thorough assessment and discussion of your symptoms, medical history and goals.

Your comfort, privacy and informed consent remain central throughout every appointment. Internal treatment is only performed when clinically appropriate and with your full consent.

Lymphatic Massage

Gentle support for swelling and recovery

Lymphatic Massage uses light, rhythmic techniques designed to encourage normal lymphatic drainage and support healthy fluid movement throughout the body.

It may be incorporated into treatment for people experiencing:

  • Mild fluid retention
  • Post-surgical swelling (where clinically appropriate)
  • Pregnancy-related swelling
  • General feelings of heaviness

Our therapists will assess whether Lymphatic Massage is suitable for your individual circumstances and, where appropriate, incorporate it into your personalised treatment plan.
