Pregnancy and Postnatal Care

 

◗ Caring for you is caring for your baby

At Women’s & Pelvic Health Physio Riverland our goal is to empower & educate women through every stage of pregnancy, prepare for birth & heal after birth safely.

Pregnancy and childbirth is like preparing for a marathon, you prepare physically and mentally, if you sustain an injury then you would see a medical professional, so why not do the same after childbirth!
