Postnatal Health Check FAQs

When should I book a postnatal health check?

We recommend booking from around 6 weeks post-birth (or 8–12 weeks after a C-section), once you’ve had your GP or consultant check. However, you can come later too, it’s never too late to understand and support your recovery.

What does a postnatal health check involve?

Your session includes a detailed assessment of your core, pelvic floor, breathing, posture and movement. We’ll look at how your body is recovering after birth and identify any areas that need support, such as abdominal separation or pelvic floor dysfunction.

Why is a postnatal health check important?

Many postnatal symptoms are often overlooked or seen as ‘normal’. A check helps identify any underlying issues early, so you can recover properly, reduce the risk of long-term problems and return to exercise safely and confidently.

Do I need a postnatal check before returning to exercise?

Yes, it’s highly recommended. Even if you feel ready, your body may still need support. A postnatal check ensures you’re rebuilding strength in the right way and helps prevent injury or setbacks.

What if I had my baby a long time ago?

That’s absolutely fine. Many women come months or even years later. If you’re experiencing symptoms like weakness, leaking, back pain or core instability, a postnatal check can still be hugely beneficial.

What symptoms can a postnatal health check help with?

Common concerns include:

Weak core or abdominal separation (diastasis recti)
Pelvic floor issues (leaking, heaviness)
Back, hip or pelvic pain
Poor posture or movement patterns

Will I receive a plan after the session?

Yes, you’ll leave with clear guidance on what your body needs, including exercises, movement advice and next steps to support your recovery.
