Women’s health physiotherapy in Hackney
Stay active during pregnancy, rebuild strength after birth and return confidently to running, the gym and the exercise you enjoy. Specialist support is also available for prolapse, incontinence and leaking during exercise.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy does not automatically mean giving up the gym, strength training or the activities you enjoy.
Sangita provides pregnancy physiotherapy and trimester-specific exercise guidance, adapting load, position and intensity as your body changes so you can continue exercising with greater confidence.
Postnatal recovery
Returning to exercise after birth is individual. Your starting point, symptoms, strength and goals all matter.
Postnatal physiotherapy provides a structured, graded pathway back to the gym, running, sport or whichever activities matter to you, whether you are six weeks or several years postpartum.
How Sangita can help
Treatment is practical and exercise-focused, helping you understand your body, manage symptoms and build towards the activities you want to do.
Pregnancy & postnatal
Support for staying active during pregnancy, adapting exercise through each trimester and rebuilding strength and confidence after birth.
Running & training
A progressive return to running based on your recovery, symptoms, strength and current capacity rather than simply reaching a particular date after birth.
Strength & fitness
Structured rehabilitation for returning to strength training, gym sessions, classes, sport and other exercise at a level that suits you.
Pelvic health
Exercise support for women managing prolapse symptoms, with guidance around pelvic floor function, technique, load management and appropriate progression.
Pelvic health
Practical support if bladder symptoms are affecting your confidence when exercising, lifting or taking part in higher-impact activity.
Running, jumping & lifting
If you experience leaking when running, lifting, coughing, laughing or during other exercise, Sangita can assess what is happening and build practical strategies into your training.
Gym-based rehabilitation
Women’s health physiotherapy does not have to mean being told to stop training or being given only gentle exercises.
Where appropriate, sessions can include real strength training such as squats, deadlifts, pressing and pulling, with technique, breathing, bracing and load adapted to your body and symptoms.
Individual approach
Generic exercise advice is not always suitable during pregnancy, postnatal recovery or when managing pelvic floor symptoms.
Sangita combines physiotherapy assessment with practical exercise coaching so your plan reflects your body, symptoms, goals and the activities you actually want to do.
What to expect
Your rehabilitation develops as your strength, confidence and capacity improve.
Initial assessment
Your first appointment starts with understanding what is happening now, what activities you are doing and what you would like to work towards.
Movement
Assessment may include movement, core function, breathing and the way your body responds to the exercises or activities relevant to you.
Your programme
Your plan can cover exercise selection, technique, pelvic floor strategies, appropriate loading and progression towards your goals.
Progress
Your programme is reviewed and progressed as you become stronger and more confident, rather than leaving you with a static list of exercises.
A different approach
Pelvic health symptoms can make exercise feel uncertain. The aim is to understand what your body needs and find practical ways to keep moving, rather than unnecessarily removing the activities you enjoy.
Pelvic floor assessment
If an internal pelvic floor assessment is appropriate, Sangita can organise an appointment for this as part of your wider pelvic health care.
Frequently asked questions
A few common questions about pregnancy, postnatal exercise and pelvic health physiotherapy.
For many women, exercise can continue during pregnancy with appropriate adjustments. Sangita can help adapt exercise selection, load, position and intensity as your body changes through each trimester.
There is no single programme that suits everyone. Your return should take account of your recovery, symptoms, strength, current activity and goals. Sangita can build a structured, graded pathway back to running.
No. Whether you are six weeks or several years postpartum, it is not too late to work on strength, confidence and a progressive return to exercise.
Having prolapse symptoms does not automatically mean giving up exercise. Your programme can include pelvic floor coaching, load management, technique changes and gradual progression according to your individual symptoms and goals.
Leaking with running, lifting, coughing, laughing or other activities can be assessed. Treatment may include pelvic floor exercise coaching, breathing and pressure management, technique coaching and appropriate exercise progression.
Not necessarily. Where appropriate, Sangita can help you continue or return to strength training, including exercises such as squats, deadlifts, pressing and pulling, with adjustments based on your body and symptoms.
