A Supportive Space for Pre & Postnatal in Calgary

Pregnancy and the months following childbirth bring steady physical changes that affect how the body moves and feels each day. At The Port Physiotherapy & Massage Clinic, our Pre & Postnatal in Calgary services are centred on physiotherapy care that supports women through pregnancy and post-delivery with practical, movement-focused treatment.

Our Calgary clinic works with women through every phase, offering physiotherapy that adapts as the body changes before and after birth.

Caring for Your Body as It Changes During Pregnancy

Pregnancy adds stress to the spine, pelvis, hips, and core. Hormonal changes can also affect joint stability and muscle coordination. Through Pre & Postnatal in Calgary physiotherapy sessions, our clinicians focus on helping the body adapt safely to these changes.

Key goals during pregnancy may include:

• Improving posture as the body’s centre of gravity shifts
• Reducing strain on the lower back, hips, and pelvis
• Encouraging safe movement patterns for daily activities
• Supporting pelvic floor function as pregnancy progresses

Each session is guided by a detailed physical assessment to identify areas that need attention as pregnancy advances.

Staying Active With Confidence Throughout Pregnancy

Movement during pregnancy can feel unfamiliar, even for those who were active before. Physiotherapy sessions at our Clinic offer guided exercise that supports strength and mobility without unnecessary strain.

Exercises are selected based on how the body responds at different stages, with attention to breathing, balance, and controlled movement. This approach helps women stay active while respecting physical limits during pregnancy.

Getting Ready for Labour With Informed Movement

Preparing for labour involves more than waiting for delivery day. Physiotherapy before birth may include guidance on breathing patterns, pelvic movement, and body positioning.

Through Pre & Postnatal in Calgary, women learn how movement and posture can play a role during labour. This preparation often supports greater confidence and physical awareness leading up to delivery.

Gentle Support After Your Baby Arrives

After childbirth, the body begins a gradual return toward pre-pregnancy function. Muscles, joints, and connective tissues need time and guidance to adapt. Postnatal physiotherapy focuses on restoring strength, coordination, and comfort.

At The Port Physiotherapy & Massage Clinic, postnatal care may address:

• Pelvic floor weakness or control concerns
• Abdominal muscle separation
• Discomfort in the back, hips, or pelvis
• Postural strain from feeding, lifting, and carrying

At our clinic, Pre & Postnatal physiotherapy in Calgary supports women as they adjust to feeding, lifting, and caring for their newborn while addressing physical strain that may arise.

Reconnecting With Pelvic Floor Strength

The pelvic floor plays a key role in movement, stability, and bladder control before and after pregnancy. Changes during pregnancy and delivery can affect how these muscles function.

Pelvic floor physiotherapy focuses on assessment and guided exercises that improve muscle coordination. Care often includes breathing techniques and movement strategies that support daily activity and recovery after childbirth.

Thoughtful Care Following C-Section Delivery

Recovery after a C-section involves both surgical healing and physical reconditioning. Physiotherapy following surgical delivery may focus on restoring movement and posture, and on gradual strength.

At The Port Physiotherapy & Massage Clinic, postnatal physiotherapy supports a safe return to activity while addressing scar mobility and movement patterns that develop after surgery.
