Postnatal pain is very common. The physical toll a pregnancy and birth takes on ones body can be long lasting in many cases.
From pelvic disfunction, to sciatic pain, to pain from C-section scars, there are many reasons why one could be still suffering from pain – long after delivery.
In fact, research shows that women who have had a C-section are very likely to have back pain down the road (even years later) as the scarring can create compensations in your movement patterns, leading to injury.
The good news is we have treatment options for you.
Our approach is complimentary and supplementary at the same time.

- De-stress the muscles and ligaments around the spine and pelvis because of the rebalancing
- Improve the nerve signals from the spine to the muscles, ligaments and organs in the area
- Improve the autonomic nerve function in your body to help you recover quicker
