Postnatal Care for Burwood Residents

Burwood sits immediately east of Ashfield, making Pro Health Clinic one of the most accessible health services for the entire Burwood community. The suburb has grown significantly with apartment development along Burwood Road, bringing with it a large population of young families and professionals who value nearby quality healthcare. For most of Burwood, our Ashfield clinic is closer than most alternatives.

Our Approach to Postnatal Care

The postnatal period is a critical time for musculoskeletal recovery — the body is adapting to significant hormonal and structural changes, pelvic floor function is recovering, and the physical demands of caring for a newborn (feeding, carrying, sleep deprivation) create new musculoskeletal stresses. Pro Health Clinic provides comprehensive postnatal musculoskeletal care to support recovery and return to full function after birth.

Postnatal care at Pro Health Clinic covers a range of presentations — from immediate post-birth recovery and diastasis recti assessment through to return to sport and exercise rehabilitation. Our practitioners will assess your recovery, identify any musculoskeletal or pelvic floor concerns, and provide a structured program to support your return to normal function at your own pace.

What We Treat

  • Postnatal lower back and pelvic pain management
  • Diastasis recti assessment and rehabilitation
  • Pelvic floor recovery and return-to-exercise guidance
  • Wrist and hand pain from feeding and carrying (De Quervain's tenosynovitis)
  • Neck and shoulder pain from feeding postures
  • Return-to-sport programs post-partum

What to Expect at Your First Appointment

Your postnatal consultation covers your birth history, current musculoskeletal complaints, and your goals — whether that's managing day-to-day pain, returning to exercise, or preparing for another pregnancy. Assessment may include pelvic floor function screening, abdominal assessment, and musculoskeletal examination of any symptomatic areas. Babies are welcome at appointments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far is Pro Health Clinic from Burwood?

Pro Health Clinic is approximately 1.8km from Burwood — one train stop from Burwood Station to Ashfield on the T2 or T3 line, or a 5-minute drive.

Is Pro Health Clinic the nearest physio to Burwood?

Pro Health Clinic in Ashfield is one of the closest multidisciplinary clinics to Burwood, offering chiropractic, physiotherapy, dry needling, and remedial massage under one roof.

When can I start treatment after giving birth near Burwood?

A postnatal musculoskeletal assessment can be conducted from 6 weeks post-partum for vaginal delivery and from 8 weeks for caesarean section, or earlier if you have significant pain requiring management. Pelvic floor assessment can be undertaken at 6 weeks. Your practitioner will tailor the assessment and treatment to your recovery stage.

What is diastasis recti and how is it treated near Burwood?

Diastasis recti is the separation of the rectus abdominis muscle at the linea alba — common after pregnancy. It is assessed by measuring the width and depth of the gap at rest and under load. Mild-to-moderate diastasis responds well to specific core rehabilitation. Severe cases may require specialist review. Early assessment allows appropriate management before the separation becomes established.

Can I bring my baby to my appointment near Burwood?

Yes — babies are welcome at Pro Health Clinic appointments. We understand that childcare during the postnatal period can be difficult to arrange. Let us know when booking if you'll be bringing your baby so your practitioner can allow appropriate time and space.
