Women’s Health Physiotherapy for Pregnancy, Pelvic & Postnatal Care

Q: Is physiotherapy safe during pregnancy?

Physiotherapy and appropriately modified exercise are generally safe during an uncomplicated pregnancy. Our physiotherapists assess each patient before starting, and for certain conditions such as preeclampsia or placenta previa, your physiotherapist will guide you on whether exercise is appropriate. ReLiva's FabMoms programme provides specialised pregnancy fitness and women's health physiotherapy, trusted by leading hospitals such as Dr. Mehta's Hospital Chennai, Bhailal Amin Hospital Vadodara and Aster Hospital Ongole. Exercises are tailored to the stage of pregnancy and individual needs.

Q: When should postnatal physiotherapy start after delivery or a C-section?

Postnatal physiotherapy can typically begin around 6–10 weeks after delivery, but timing depends on the type of delivery, healing and any complications. At ReLiva, a specialised women's health physiotherapist first conducts a thorough assessment and then designs the programme around your delivery, concerns, medical history, goals and recovery. Exercise intensity is progressed gradually.

Q: How common is diastasis recti, and does it always need treatment?

Diastasis recti is common after pregnancy and does not always require treatment. Assessment is recommended when there is abdominal weakness, back or pelvic pain, core instability, difficulty with daily activities or visible abdominal bulging. ReLiva's women's health programmes include specialised assessment and rehabilitation for diastasis recti, pelvic floor dysfunction and postnatal recovery.

Q: What is the cost of women's health physiotherapy in India?

The cost of women's health physiotherapy varies depending on the condition, treatment needs, therapist and location. At ReLiva, women's health physiotherapy typically ranges from ₹500–₹1,750 per session, with the initial assessment and subsequent treatment costs depending on individual requirements, techniques and therapies used.

Q: Can pelvic floor physiotherapy help urinary leakage without surgery?

Yes. Pelvic floor physiotherapy can help many women manage urinary leakage without surgery, particularly stress and mixed urinary incontinence. At ReLiva, specialised women's health physiotherapists assess pelvic floor function and create an individualised programme that may include pelvic floor muscle training, bladder strategies, breathing and functional exercises to improve pelvic floor control and bladder function.

Q: When should I see a gynaecologist instead of a physiotherapist?

See a gynaecologist when you have symptoms requiring medical diagnosis or treatment, such as abnormal vaginal bleeding, severe or persistent pelvic pain, unusual vaginal discharge or pregnancy-related concerns. A women's health physiotherapist manages movement, pelvic floor and functional problems, including back or pelvic pain, urinary leakage, postnatal weakness and pregnancy safe exercises and can coordinate with your gynaecologist when needed.

What Is Women’s Health Physiotherapy?

Women’s health physiotherapy is a specialised area of physiotherapy addressing physical and pelvic-health concerns that can occur during pregnancy, after childbirth and at different stages of a woman’s life. At ReLiva Physiotherapy & Rehab, physiotherapists assess your symptoms, movement, strength and functional needs to create a personalised treatment plan.

Depending on your needs, treatment may include pelvic-floor rehabilitation, therapeutic exercise, mobility and strengthening exercises, posture and movement advice, pain management and guidance for returning to everyday activities after childbirth.

Physiotherapy During Pregnancy & After Childbirth

Pregnancy and childbirth can place significant physical demands on the back, pelvis, abdominal muscles and pelvic floor. ReLiva’s women’s health physiotherapy can support women during pregnancy with safe, personalised exercise and help manage problems such as back pain, pelvic pain and sacroiliac joint pain.

For expecting and new mothers, ReLiva’s specialised wellness service, FabMoms, offers programmes designed to support wellbeing during pregnancy and after childbirth. ReLiva physiotherapy can also help with postnatal concerns such as urinary leakage, diastasis recti, pelvic-floor weakness and back pain, with rehabilitation tailored to your recovery and delivery experience.

Our physiotherapists assess each patient’s condition before starting treatment. For prenatal exercise programmes, some conditions such as preeclampsia or placenta previa may not qualify for exercises, and your physiotherapist will guide you on this during assessment. Sudden severe abdominal pain, heavy bleeding, reduced foetal movement or severe headaches need immediate medical attention.

The ANC regimen is must do for all prenatal females as it is scientifically proven and personally very beneficial to take care of all aches and pains during pregnancy.
I had a wonderful experience with Dr.Anuradha at ReLiva. Thank you.

ANC during Pregnancy
Smita Biswal

I had Diastasis Recti after my C section. After doing a lot of google search and stuff I landed at ReLiva. The Physiotherapist examined me and advised me a series of exercises at home. I was asked to follow up every week. I continued this for two months. After that I wanted to continue but jobs and motherhood made me a lot busy. I highly recommend this place for pre and post natal exercises.

Diastasis Recti Treatment

A newspaper ad on ‘Fab Mom’ brought ReLiva to my notice and I enrolled myself for the ANC program. I have never been too much of an exercise person,but ever since joining ,I have looked forward to come back for every session. My doctor Dr. Anuradha has been exceptionally helpful without doubt. Their expertise along with care and warmth makes “ReLiva” definitely worth.I would like to thank Doctor and team for helping me out with the exercises. Kudos to the entire team and good luck.

FabMoms Prenatal Class
Durga Venkata

I had severe abdominal pain and back ache during my pregnancy. Then my gyneac suggested ReLiva physiotherapy. Dr Harika from ReLiva taught few exercises and home remedies which helped me a lot in reducing pain and getting better for delivery. The best part is the moral support she has given during my delivery. Thank you for all the support.
