Bringing a baby into the world is no small feat, and now it’s time to give your body the care it truly deserves. That’s where a postpartum recovery session with a postnatal physiotherapist in the comfort of your own home from Physio Therapy Singapore Singapore comes in. Think of it as a reset button — a gentle, guided way to help you feel strong, supported, and yes, even a little more like you again.

The recovery session is 90 minutes long, so it's time to give you the support you need, tailored to meet the needs of each mum. Accompanied by access to the Mama Hero app with masses of advice for recovery, gentle recovery movement workouts, and baby massage videos.

Let’s break it down — here are the different components available in these postpartum recovery sessions that can be a total game-changer:

1) Welcome Advice 

To help make your first weeks as a new mum easier, physiotherapists can advise on lifting and breastfeeding positions, as well as on how to move safely again.

2) Hands-On Physiotherapy Massage to Relieve Aches and Pains

At least 45-60 minutes of the session can be hands-on, including postnatal massage and manual therapy. Whether you had a C-section or vaginal birth, your body may feel stiff, sore, or downright out of whack. Physiotherapists use hands-on techniques and movement strategies to release tension, ease back pain, reduce scar discomfort, and improve posture — especially helpful for breastfeeding positions and all that baby-holding.  You may be suffering from fluid retention after birth, particularly in the legs, and your tummy may feel wobbly and swollen.  Gentle lymphatic massage can provide welcome relief and help the digestive system get moving again, especially when post-birth constipation is common.

3) Lactation Relief 

Women's health physiotherapists are trained to perform lymphatic massage and therapeutic ultrasound to relieve engorgement and blocked milk ducts, reducing discomfort, improving milk flow, and preventing mastitis.

4) Gentle Pelvic Floor and Core Reactivation

During pregnancy and after birth, your core and pelvic floor muscles have been through a lot, whether a vaginal delivery or a C-section birth. These areas need TLC.  A Physio Therapy Singapore women's health physiotherapist can help you reactivate these muscles, helping to prevent issues such as bladder leakage, heaviness, or low back, pelvic, and pubic pain.

4) C-Section Scar and Perineal Scar Care

A Physio Therapy Singapore physio can advise you on simple measures to help desensitize scars, reduce tenderness, and use gentle massage techniques to combat scar adhesions once the wounds are fully healed.

5) Learn Simple Baby Massage Techniques 

During the recovery session, if you choose, we can also teach you simple massage techniques for your baby to help relieve symptoms of gas, digestive discomfort, and colic, and to improve bonding and overall baby wellness.
