Physiotherapy, Soft Tissue & Massage, Coordinated
Start with Lavya’s assessment of your symptoms, movement and contributing factors. Physiotherapy includes rehabilitation exercises, guidance on practising them and appropriate manual therapy. Where muscle tension contributes to your symptoms, Brigitte’s targeted massage, pressure work and assisted stretching can complement rehabilitation, with assessment and self-care advice included.
Pregnancy massage is available with Brigitte or Agnieszka. Postnatal massage with Agnieszka can include gentle Caesarean scar care at no extra cost within your booked 60- or 90-minute session. The wound must be fully healed, with no openings or scabs; suitability is checked first. Each therapist recommends a suitable session length and agrees it with you. Contact us to coordinate appointments, including our 3+3 plans. Two sessions can be booked consecutively on the same day, subject to availability.

Women’s Health Physiotherapy FAQs
Is this service only for pregnancy?
No. Pregnancy and postnatal care are part of women’s health physiotherapy. Contact us about musculoskeletal, pelvic-floor or bladder concerns whether or not you have had a baby.
Can massage support postnatal recovery?
Postnatal massage with Agnieszka is adapted for comfort and muscle tension. For diastasis recti, Lavya guides assessment and exercise rehabilitation. Suitable Caesarean scar massage can be included within your booked 60- or 90-minute postnatal session at no extra cost, only after full wound healing.
How is soft tissue therapy different from massage?
Soft tissue therapy is assessment-led care for a specific muscle or soft tissue concern. Brigitte uses targeted hands-on techniques to address factors contributing to pain and restricted movement. It can complement Lavya’s rehabilitation, including suitable pregnancy and postnatal care.
How long should my sessions be?
At your first meeting, each therapist assesses your needs and recommends a suitable session length. You decide together, considering symptoms, goals, comfort and response. Book individually or through a suitable 3+3 plan. Contact us to arrange consecutive sessions; two appointments on the same day use two of your six plan sessions.
