Women’s Health and Postpartum Pain

Women’s Health and Postpartum Physiotherapy in Singapore’s CBD

Women’s bodies go through unique physical changes during pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and later stages of life. These changes can bring pain, weakness, and discomfort, but with the right physiotherapy, recovery is possible at every stage.

Our women’s health physiotherapy offers specialised care for every stage of life. From pregnancy to postpartum recovery, we treat pelvic floor weakness, diastasis recti, and C-section recovery with safe, personalised exercise and hands-on care. Our approach relieves pain, restores core and pelvic strength, and promotes faster recovery through targeted therapy and lymphatic drainage.

Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy

The pelvic floor muscles play a vital role in bladder, bowel, and core function. Weakness or dysfunction can lead to:

  • Incontinence (urine leaks with coughing, laughing, or exercise)

  • Pelvic organ prolapse

  • Pain during daily activities or exercise

Our physiotherapists provide:

  • Targeted pelvic floor exercises to restore strength and control

  • Biofeedback and breathing techniques to improve activation

  • Lifestyle and activity guidance for safe progress

  • Individualised recovery plans to meet your goals

Pelvic floor rehab is not only about restoring strength, but also about regaining confidence in movement and everyday life.

Postpartum Rehab (Diastasis Recti and C-Section Recovery)

After pregnancy and birth, many women experience:

  • Diastasis recti (abdominal separation)

  • C-section scar tightness or discomfort

  • Weakness in the core and pelvic floor

At Strength Clinic, our postpartum physiotherapy programs include:

  • Safe core rehab to gradually close abdominal separation

  • Scar mobilisation techniques to improve healing and reduce pain

  • Progressive strengthening to rebuild stability and strength

  • Guidance on returning to exercise and sport safely

This ensures mothers not only recover, but also feel strong enough to return to the activities they love.

Pregnancy-Related Back and Hip Pain

During pregnancy, hormonal changes and a growing bump often cause back, hip, or pelvic pain. Many women also experience posture changes that lead to stiffness. Physiotherapy during pregnancy provides:

  • Gentle manual therapy to relieve discomfort safely

  • Safe mobility and stretching to reduce tension

  • Strengthening and posture training to support the spine

  • Preparation for delivery with breathing and movement strategies

Lymphatic Drainage for Recovery

After pregnancy, surgery, or periods of swelling, lymphatic drainage therapy can be a powerful recovery tool. This specialised physiotherapy treatment helps by:

  • Reducing swelling and water retention

  • Promoting circulation and healing

  • Supporting recovery after C-section or surgery

  • Enhancing overall recovery and well-being
