Physiotherapy
your local women's health
Ashlee and Elise are pelvic health physiotherapists who have an interest in treating all things pregnancy and postpartum! They are located at Back In Motion Sydenham and are now open at Your Local Midwife, Bacchus Marsh.
Our recommendations throughout pregnancy and postpartum is for women to be assessed by a pelvic health physiotherapist at 20 weeks, 34-36 weeks gestation and 6 weeks postpartum or onwards. These milestones allow us to assess pelvic floor function, identify any concerns such as muscle weakness or tension, provide guidance on birth preparation, optimise recovery strategies, and support a smooth transition through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum healing

Internal Pelvic Release
Our pelvis holds so much wisdom. Through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and even the menstrual cycle, it adapts and carries the deep stories of our bodies. Internal Pelvic Release is a gentle, hands-on approach that works with the soft tissues of the pelvis—muscles, fascia, and ligaments—to support relaxation and balance.
Unlike clinical pelvic exams that focus on the cervix, Internal Pelvic Release uses light, intentional touch through the back wall of the vagina to encourage softness and awareness in the pelvic space. This work is not about diagnosing or treating medical conditions; it is about creating space, supporting flow & drainage, connection, and ease in your body

Acuneedling
your local midwife
Midwife Lauretta offers acuneedling, a gentle technique involving the stimulation of specific points on the body using fine needles, acupressure, or moxibustion. This practice aims to alleviate common pregnancy discomforts, prepare the body for labour, and support postpartum recovery. Lauretta's approach is personalised, ensuring each session addresses your unique needs, whether it's managing nausea, easing musculoskeletal pain, or promoting emotional well-being.
