Pregnancy & postnatal care
Tomorrow's body starts here.
Pregnancy & Postnatal Care at Perfect Balance.
Pregnancy, birth and early parenthood bring physical change, emotional shifts and new demands on your body. At Perfect Balance, we offer specialist pregnancy and postnatal care designed to support comfort, confidence and recovery, for both parent and baby.
Whether you're managing pregnancy-related discomfort, preparing your body for birth, navigating feeding challenges, or rebuilding strength after delivery, our experienced team works gently, respectfully and at your pace.
Supporting you from bump to baby, and beyond
Pregnancy and the postnatal period place unique demands on the body. Hormonal changes, altered posture, birth-related strain and the physical reality of caring for a baby can all affect how you move, feel and recover.
At Perfect Balance, pregnancy care is never one-size-fits-all. We take the time to understand your experience, assess what your body needs right now, and guide you with clear, practical support.
Care may focus on comfort during pregnancy, recovery after birth, feeding and settling support, or helping you feel strong and confident again in everyday life.
About Pregnancy & Postnatal Care
Gentle Support for Feeding and Settling
Feeding challenges can feel overwhelming, especially when things don't go as expected. Small difficulties with latch, comfort or settling can quickly affect confidence for both parent and baby. Our lactation and cranial osteopathy support focuses on helping feeding feel calmer, more comfortable and more manageable. Sessions are always centred on you and your baby as a pair. Support may help babies who are:
Struggling to latch or stay on the breast
Showing tension through the neck, jaw or body
Unsettled, windy or uncomfortable after feeds
Alongside clear feeding guidance, gentle cranial osteopathy may be used where appropriate to support relaxation and ease. The aim is never to force change, but to help things feel easier and more natural.
Pelvic, Back and Postnatal Support
Pregnancy and birth can affect your pelvis, back, core and pelvic floor in different ways. Some changes are expected, others may benefit from specialist assessment and support. Women's health physiotherapy focuses on helping you move comfortably and confidently through pregnancy and into postnatal life. Support commonly includes:
Pelvic girdle pain and low back pain during pregnancy
Pelvic floor symptoms such as leaking, heaviness or discomfort
Recovery following vaginal birth or caesarean section
Scar discomfort, core weakness or reduced confidence with movement
Your clinician will listen carefully to your story, assess how your body is moving, and build a realistic plan using hands-on treatment and guided exercises. The focus is on everyday confidence, lifting your baby, returning to work, and moving without fear.
Mummy MOT®: Postnatal check that puts mum first
A Mummy MOT® is Perfect Balance's comprehensive postnatal assessment, typically from six weeks after birth and beyond. It's suitable whether this is your first baby or you've had several pregnancies. Your assessment includes:
Posture, breathing and core function assessment
Pelvic floor check and personalised exercise guidance
Support for tummy gap (diastasis recti)
Advice on safe return to running, gym or exercise classes
This is time set aside for you, to ask questions, understand your recovery, and get clear guidance that often isn't covered in routine follow-ups.
Pregnancy Massage: Comfort and relaxation for your changing body
As your body adapts through pregnancy, it's common to experience tightness, aches and disrupted sleep. At Perfect Balance a pregnancy massage provides a safe, supportive space to ease physical tension and help you relax. Pregnancy massage may help with:
Back, neck and shoulder discomfort
Hip and pelvic tightness
Heavy or swollen legs
General tension, stress and poor sleep
Treatments are always adapted to how you're feeling on the day, using safe positioning and support. The goal is simple: comfort, calm and a chance to rest.
