If you’re searching for pelvic floor physiotherapists in Pretoria, you’re not being “dramatic” and you’re not alone. As a Pretoria motherhood and family photographer, I hear moms talk about things like bladder leaks, heaviness, pelvic pain, painful scars, or just feeling “not right” after birth — and so many wish they got help sooner.
Your pelvic floor is a real part of your body. It deserves real support.
What a pelvic floor physio actually helps with (in simple words)
A pelvic floor physiotherapist looks at how your pelvic floor muscles work — not only “strength”, but also how they relax, coordinate, and support you.
They can help with things like:
-
leaking when you cough, laugh, sneeze, or run
-
pelvic heaviness or prolapse symptoms
-
pain in the pelvis, hips, tailbone, or lower back
-
pregnancy pelvic pain or pubic pain
-
C-section scar tightness and tummy “pulling”
-
painful sex or pelvic pain (before or after baby)
-
constipation, bowel control, or pressure issues
-
postpartum recovery and safe return to exercise
When should you book a pelvic floor physio during pregnancy or after birth?
You can go during pregnancy (often 2nd trimester) if you have pelvic pain, pressure, or leaking — or if you simply want to prepare for birth.
You can also go after birth, even if you feel “fine”. Many moms book:
-
around 6–8 weeks postpartum for a recovery check
-
earlier if they have pain, heaviness, or leaking
-
later (months or years later) if symptoms never fully went away
What to expect at your first appointment
Most pelvic floor physios start with:
-
questions about pregnancy/birth history and symptoms
-
posture, breathing, core, hips, and pelvic alignment checks
-
gentle pelvic floor assessment (external and sometimes internal — only with consent)
-
a plan you can actually follow at home (not a 30-minute workout you’ll never do)
A good physio explains things clearly and makes you feel safe. You should never feel judged.

How to choose the right pelvic floor physio (quick checklist)
When you message or call, ask:
-
“Do you treat pregnancy + postnatal pelvic floor concerns?”
-
“Do you help with (your symptom) specifically?”
-
“Do you accept my medical aid / can I claim back?”
-
“What should I bring to the first session?”
And most importantly: you should feel respected and safe.
My advice to you (and a gentle reminder)
If something feels off in your body, please don’t wait until it becomes “serious”. Moms are so used to pushing through. But you deserve comfort, confidence, and support.
And if you’re planning photos too, here are two internal link prompts you can add naturally:
