PRE & POST
NATAL CARE
Pre & Postnatal Physiotherapy
At Inner Strength our Physiotherapists are experienced in pre and postnatal care and can assist with various musculoskeletal changes that occur during this time. We are equipped with a real time ultrasound machine which allows our physiotherapists to obtain an image to assess your abdominals postnatally. Real time ultrasound can also be used to get a baseline assessment of you pelvic floor contraction, however if further assessment is needed, you can be seen by one of our pelvic floor physiotherapists. Click here for more information on Pelvic Floor Physio.
We also provide therapeutic ultrasound treatment for mastitis, which can be an effective alternative to anti biotics. Click here for more information on mastitis.
The following conditions can be effectively treated by Physiotherapy techniques during pregnancy and/or postnatally:
- Low back pain
- Upper back/postural pain
- Pelvic girdle pain
- Round ligament pain
- Rectus diastasis (abdominal separation +/- bulging)
- Mastitis (using therapeutic ultrasound)
- Wrist pain (De Quervain's & Carpal Tunnel)
- Pre & postnatal strengthening
It is safe to exercise during a healthy pregnancy and an assessment of risks should be undertaken to identify potential contraindications. Contraindications to exercise during pregnancy may include cardiovascular disease, poorly controlled asthma, poorly controlled diabetes, and bone or joint problems that may be made worse by physical activity. Exercise during pregnancy can help to reduce the risk of gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, pre-eclampsia and mental health conditions such as depression.
We offer two types of Group Physio-led Exercise sessions for pre and postnatal women:
- Group Physio: Using Clinical Pilates and other strengthening exercises within our studio, this class can cater for both pre and postnatal women.
- Mums & Bubs: Bring your baby in for a class incorporating both the reformer, trapeze table and mat. Suitable from 6 weeks postnatal, following clearance to exercise from your GP or obstetrician.
Check our class timetable here.
Inner Strength Bayside are stockists of SRC pregnancy and recovery shorts and leggings. These compression garments are specifically designed to provide continuous support and relief of pain during pregnancy, faster recovery after delivery, post-surgery and after exercise, by facilitating muscle healing.

I’ve been seeing Luci for an injury and have been so impressed with how knowledgeable, caring and supportive she has been throughout my recovery.
She takes the time to really understand my needs and has made me feel confident and well looked after every step of the way.
I’ve also really enjoyed the physio-led exercise sessions, which are tailored specifically to me and have made a real difference to my recovery.
I couldn’t recommend Luci and the team at Inner Strength Bayside highly enough.

From the moment I walked in the door at Inner Strength Bayside, I have been so impressed with the care and professionalism of the team. The facilities are high quality and modern, with thoughtful touches like complimentary herbal tea in reception. Communication before, during, and after appointments is of the highest quality. I have felt well supported for my pelvic floor physio program. I have no hesitation in providing the highest recommendation for Caitlin and Inner Strength Bayside team.

I was recommended this place by my GP for therapeutic ultrasound for mastitis. They fit me in for an appointment that same day. All of the staff (especially Kym on reception) were so welcoming and my practitioner Louisa was friendly and informative. I felt so looked after & reassured during my appointments. As a new Mum, I can’t wait to come back to try their Mums & Bubs Pilates classes too.

I used to work for a physio (but she's in a different state), so I'm very discerning about choosing a great physio when I need something 'fixed'. I had first heard about Inner Strength Bayside physios from a friend, who long-raved about their physio for a back injury and lower back pain (Louisa) - but I also did a Google search for a physio near me who knew how to treat a complex injury of the hip & pelvis and knee (Luci) and discovered it was the same clinic my friend attended.
On phoning them, I was greeted by Kym, who was absolutely caring and lovely and highly informative about how the clinic worked. I was able to get in quickly too - and Kym gave a great first impression for the clinic. To me that first impression is SO important as a client, I feel it speaks volumes tot the type of service offered for patients.
I'm very pleased with the results from two visits so far - Luci is magnificent, and my pain is easing much more quickly than I thought. Best of all, my mobility is improving after weeks of prior muscle spasms, and the treatments and exercises are explained in detail, so as not to flare it up. So if you need a great bayside physio, try this group - you won't be disappointed! PS Its not far from Southland, maybe 2 kms or a bit more?

I am seeing Bayside Physiotherapist Luci Minogue for a torn posterior labrum and torn hamstring (an acute hip injury, for sports injury physiotherapy) - and she's incredibly dedicated and knowledgeable. Her torn labrum physio treatments/glut hip physio started to work right away, so I'm already seeing improvement after just one visit.
The clinic is also super clean, has a nice ambiance; with plenty of nearby parking. Thankfully there is a lift though - just past the stairs, as otherwise there are a lot of stairs (they are on the middle Floor, not 2 but Floor 1). Luci is the best physio I've found in the Cheltenham/Beaumaris and Bayside area near Southland (hand selected after a referral from a friend).

Petra is fantastic. She helped with my post-birth recovery (including getting back into exercise and pilates) and breastfeeding-related back pain. Not only is she very personable but I always feel better after seeing her and always feel like she listens to and addresses all my concerns.
The clinic itself is also very clean and inviting. Kym at reception is always a friendly face! Couldn't recommend Petra and the team and Inner Strength more!
