Pregnancy chiro or pelvic-floor physio?

If your main concern is pelvic floor strength, continence, birth preparation, or post-birth pelvic floor recovery, a pelvic-floor physiotherapist is usually the right place to start. If your concern is joint, ligament, or structural discomfort that is affecting how you walk, roll, sleep, climb stairs, or get in and out of a car, a pregnancy-trained chiropractor may be a reasonable place to ask for an assessment. For many pregnant patients, both professions can be part of the conversation.

Is chiropractic care suitable during pregnancy?

Care during pregnancy should be adapted to the person in front of the clinician. That means a careful history, clear consent, gentle technique, and willingness to work with your wider maternity care team. It also means being transparent about what chiropractic care can and cannot reasonably offer for your situation.

What pelvic girdle pain can feel like.

Pelvic girdle pain can show up around the front or back of the pelvis and may be noticeable when standing on one leg, putting on clothes, climbing stairs, rolling over in bed, or getting in and out of a car. If pain is severe, sudden, neurological, or worrying in any way, your GP or maternity care provider should be your first call.

Paediatric care · 4 min read

How we work with babies and infants.

Paediatric chiropractic is a careful area. We do not perform high-velocity spinal manipulation on children under two. We do not make claims about colic, reflux, ear infections, sleep difficulty, or immunity. Where gentle paediatric assessment or care is considered, it should be low-force, parent-present, consent-based, and referred on when another practitioner is the better fit.

First visit · 4 min read

What happens at a first visit?

The first visit is designed to slow things down. We listen to your story, ask about what has changed, complete an assessment with consent at every step, and explain what we are seeing before discussing care options. You should know what is being recommended, why, and what it costs before deciding what happens next.

From the research

Topics shaped by the questions parents are already asking.

These example guides are based on the brand-research themes: pregnancy chiro versus physio, care during pregnancy, pelvic girdle pain, first-visit transparency, collaborative care, and honest paediatric boundaries.

Collaborative care

06

Working alongside your wider care team.

Pregnancy, postpartum, and early family care often involve more than one clinician. Where useful, chiropractic care can sit alongside your GP, OB, midwife, doula, pelvic-floor physiotherapist, lactation consultant, paediatrician, or paediatric physiotherapist. If someone else is the right starting point, we will say so.
