Maternal Health Care in West Adelaide
At Phyx., our mission is to help all Adelaide mummies and mummies to be, to be fit, strong and healthy throughout their journey from bun in the oven to beyond.
With a growing tummy, changing body shape, hormones and sleeping patterns, many women experience pregnancy related aches and pains.
But did you know that many of these changes that affect your musculoskeletal system in preparation for child birth also remain for 6 to 9 months after birth?
Our physiotherapists have special interest in both pregnancy and postnatal physiotherapy and Pilates. We are here to support you from your first trimester through to your baby’s arrival and your post-natal recovery.
During pregnancy, your body undergoes many changes and we are here to support you through them with Physio treatment, Pilates and advice.
Physiotherapy can provide you with short and long term pain relief, while also working together with you to provide strategies to help you along with the rest of your pregnancy.
Your maternal health physio can also help by guiding you through exercises that are safe during pregnancy, helping you feel stronger and reducing your risk of developing other pregnancy-related aches and pains.

Welcome to the wonderful (but challenging!) world of motherhood.
Your body has been through a lot throughout your pregnancy, whether you experienced morning (or all day) sickness, back pain, pubic pain, fatigue, nausea or reflux…
And then of course, the birth.
Now that baby has FINALLY arrived and things are starting to settle (a little!), you might be starting to feel like it’s the right time to start doing something to help your body recover and get stronger.
We are here to support you through your journey into motherhood helping with aches and pains, recovering from birth, breastfeeding support and Pilates.

Whether you have had a vaginal delivery or caesarean delivery, it is highly recommended you book in for your 6 week postnatal check with a pelvic health physiotherapist.
During this appointment, we assess the following:
- Pelvic floor muscles
- Bladder and bowel function
- Sexual function
- Scar recovery (episiotomy/ section)
- Abdominal muscle separation
The above assessments ensure we are able to create an individualised program to manage or prevent pelvic floor muscle dysfunction and general musculoskeletal injuries.
It is recommended you get assessed even if you are not experiencing any symptoms. Our assessment will help guide when and how you can return to exercise safely.
