Our Approach to Antenatal Care
Pregnancy places significant demands on the musculoskeletal system — as postural changes, ligamentous laxity, and the shifting centre of gravity progress through each trimester. Pro Health Clinic provides safe, evidence-based antenatal musculoskeletal care for pregnant patients experiencing back pain, pelvic girdle pain, rib pain, round ligament discomfort, and other pregnancy-related musculoskeletal conditions.
Treatment during pregnancy is adapted to the stage of pregnancy and individual presentation. Our practitioners have experience in pregnancy-specific manual therapy, safe exercise prescription, pelvic floor education, and postural management strategies. Many pregnant patients find significant relief from musculoskeletal symptoms with appropriate treatment, allowing them to remain active and comfortable throughout pregnancy.
What We Treat
- Lower back pain in pregnancy
- Pelvic girdle pain (symphysis pubis dysfunction and sacroiliac pain)
- Round ligament pain management
- Rib and thoracic pain during pregnancy
- Pregnancy-safe exercise prescription and core stability
- Postural advice and ergonomics during pregnancy
What to Expect at Your First Appointment
Antenatal consultations at Pro Health Clinic are tailored to your stage of pregnancy and primary complaint.

Is it safe to see a chiropractor or physiotherapist during pregnancy near Newtown?
Yes — musculoskeletal treatment during pregnancy is safe when provided by practitioners experienced in antenatal care. Our team uses pregnancy-appropriate techniques and positioning for all stages of pregnancy. We work alongside your obstetric team and will not provide treatment in any area where there is a contraindication.
What is pelvic girdle pain and can it be treated near Newtown?
Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) is a common pregnancy condition characterised by pain over the symphysis pubis, sacroiliac joints, or both — often aggravated by walking, standing on one leg, and transitional movements. It responds well to targeted manual therapy, specific exercise prescription, and load management advice. It is not something you simply need to tolerate through pregnancy.
Can I continue exercise during pregnancy near Newtown?
Exercise during pregnancy is strongly recommended for most women and has significant benefits for mother and baby. The type and intensity of exercise should be appropriate for your fitness level, stage of pregnancy, and any complications. Our practitioners can provide a safe, individualised exercise program that keeps you active throughout your pregnancy.
