postnatal CARE · JERVIS BAY
Recovery done
properly
We give postnatal recovery the same thoughtful structure as any other kind of recovery — with an assessment, a clear starting point, meaningful goals and a plan to get you there.
Your recovery deserves more than a date on the calendar.
With any physical recovery, it helps to know where you’re starting, what you’re working towards and how to progress safely along the way.
Postnatal recovery is no different.
Your pelvic floor, abdominal wall, strength and movement have all been through significant change. A date on the calendar can tell us how long it has been since birth, but it can’t tell us how your body is recovering.
At Balanced, we assess where you are now, understand what you want to get back to and create a clear pathway to help you get there.
WHY BALANCED
What makes the difference
A thorough individual assessment of your pelvic floor, abdominal wall, and overall recovery — so you know exactly what's happening in your body.
CloseWhether you had a vaginal birth or a caesarean, our pathway gives you the answers and the roadmap to do this well — from the start.
ClosePelvic floor rehabilitation, hands-on treatment, tailored advice, referrals when you need them — whatever your recovery actually calls for, not what a generic program assumes it does.
CloseHOW WE CAN HELP
Whether you've got aches and pains, want an assessment of where you’re at or need some pelvic floor rehabilitation, we can help.
What are you noticing?
Leaking, heaviness or pressure?
If you’re experiencing a body that doesn't feel like yours anymore or simply wanting to know how things are recovering.
We assess where you’re at, identify what needs support and create a rehabilitation plan based on what we find.
Pain making everyday life harder?
Back pain, pelvic pain, wrist and thumb pain, scar discomfort or pain with everyday movement.
We assess what’s driving it, treat where appropriate and progressively rebuild the capacity your day-to-day life demands.
not sure if you’re ready to exercise?
Whether your goal is running, the gym, or your first Pilates class back — we map out a safe, progressive return that's built around your body and your birth, not a generic 12-week program.
