WHO THIS IS FOR
Is Pregnancy care right for you?
As your body changes to support your growing baby, shifts in weight distribution and hormonal changes can strain your spine, pelvis, and surrounding muscles. Our gentle, non-invasive pregnancy care is safely adapted for every trimester to help ease discomfort, improve pelvic balance, and keep you moving comfortably.

COMMON SYMPTOMS
Signs you may be experiencing Pregnancy related discomfort
1
Lower Back Ache
Persistent dull ache in your lower spine as your posture shifts forward to accommodate baby's growth.
2
Pelvic Girdle Pain
Discomfort or sharp stiffness around the pelvic joints, front pubic bone, or lower back when walking or turning in bed.
3
Pregnancy Sciatica
Shooting pain, tingling, or numbness traveling down through the buttocks and back of the legs due to nerve pressure.
4
Rib & Mid-Back Tension
Tightness and pressure around the ribcage and upper back as your chest cavity expands during later trimesters.
5
Hip & Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Pain
Aching or tenderness in the hip joints caused by relaxin hormones softening ligaments and shifting weight balance.
6
Postural Strain & Shoulder Stiffness
Aching tightness across the shoulders and neck resulting from changing body center of gravity and altered posture.
When to seek urgent care: If you experience severe abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, sudden swelling in your face or hands, persistent high fever, or fluid leakage, contact your midwife, maternity unit, GP, NHS 111, or 999 immediately.
