Pregnancy & Postpartum Care
A Team-Based Approach to Comfort, Mobility & Support Through Every Stage
Pregnancy and postpartum changes place unique demands on the body. As posture shifts, joints loosen, and the core adapts, many people experience back or pelvic pain, sciatica, rib discomfort, or general tension. At The Health Collective – Baden, our goal is to support you through every stage—helping you move comfortably, stay active, and feel confident in your changing body.
Our multidisciplinary approach means you can access care from chiropractors, physiotherapists (including pelvic floor physiotherapy), massage therapists, osteopathic practitioners, and acupuncture providers. Your treatment plan may include:
Pelvic Floor & General Physiotherapy – pelvic floor assessment, core activation, mobility work, and strengthening for prenatal and postpartum changes
Chiropractic care – gentle joint treatment, pelvic mechanics, low-back relief, and sciatica management
Massage therapy – reducing muscle tension, swelling, and pregnancy-related discomfort
Osteopathy – whole-body balance, gentle movement of joints and tissues, and rib/thoracic mobility
Acupuncture – nausea relief, stress reduction, pelvic/low-back support, and nervous system calming
Exercise & rehab programs – prenatal and postpartum mobility training, strength work, and functional recovery
Each treatment is modified based on your stage of pregnancy or postpartum healing.

Why Pregnancy & Postpartum Care Matters
Your body undergoes rapid changes throughout pregnancy, affecting posture, mobility, and biomechanics. After birth, recovery continues as the core and pelvic floor adapt to new demands. Pain and discomfort are common, but they are not something you need to “push through.”
Our team focuses on helping you move well, feel supported, and return to activity safely—whether this is your first pregnancy or your fourth.
Every patient receives a personalized, goal-oriented plan—built collaboratively across professions when needed. You don’t have to choose your provider alone: our team will guide you to the right care at the right time.
If pain, tension, or pelvic concerns are affecting your comfort during pregnancy or postpartum, we’re here to help. Book an appointment today and feel supported through every stage.
