Maternity Physiotherapy Classes & Clinic
Pregnancy can cause various health issues for women from conception to post-delivery. John Flynn Private Hospital has a team of experienced Physiotherapists who are passionate about working with pregnant and postnatal women, providing advice and treatment to ensure a healthy, uncomplicated pregnancy and recovery in the postnatal period.
Private consultations
We have a new outpatient clinic located in the Strand at Coolangatta where we offer private consultations and pregnancy and postnatal exercise classes. As this is a private outpatient clinic you may be eligible to access funding through your Private Health Extras cover.
Pregnancy is a time when you may experience new and unwanted symptoms as your body changes. We can offer management, advice and treatment across a wide range of issues including but not limited to:
- Back or pelvic pain
- Weakening of your pelvic floor muscles
- Incontinence or bladder issues
- Safe exercise programs
- Advice on keeping your abdominal and pelvic floor muscles strong
As a result, we strongly encourage every woman to book in for a Physiotherapy consultation at approximately 18-20 weeks gestation.
