Johar Town, Lahore
Rehabilitation programme
Prenatal Physiotherapy & Exercise
Physiotherapy during pregnancy, for staying active and comfortable as the body changes and for understanding what is worth getting looked at.
Whether this programme is the right one, and what it should contain, is decided by assessment — not by this page.
Who it helps
You are pregnant and something has started to hurt
Back, hip or pelvic discomfort that has changed how you move.
You want to keep exercising safely
Guidance on activity that is specific to you rather than general advice.
You would like to prepare for afterwards
Understanding what recovery involves before you are in the middle of it.
- Your pregnancy is being followed by a doctor or midwife
- Any complications you have been told about are shared with the physiotherapist
- You have no symptoms currently needing urgent obstetric review
Comfort and symptom response guide progression. Exercise is adjusted rather than stopped where possible, unless your maternity team advises otherwise.
This does not replace antenatal care. Bleeding, fluid loss, reduced fetal movements, severe headache or severe abdominal pain are obstetric emergencies and need immediate medical attention, not a physiotherapy appointment.
Related conditions
Each of these has its own page explaining assessment and care. This programme gives them context — it does not replace them.
The process
How the programme works
Step 1: Assessment
What has changed and what is uncomfortable, alongside your current activity and what you want to keep doing.
Step 2: Plan
Realistic for this stage of pregnancy, and adjusted as it progresses.
Step 3: Rehabilitation
Strength, comfort and movement strategies for the tasks currently causing difficulty.
Step 4: Review
Revisited as pregnancy progresses, because what is appropriate changes.
What’s included
Treatments are the individual techniques a physiotherapist may use within this programme. None of them is decided before you have been assessed.
This programme is not built around the individual techniques listed elsewhere on this site. It is built around assessment, graded progression and practising the movements that matter to you — set out inhow the programme runs above. If a technique is useful along the way, it is decided at the assessment.

Is exercise safe in pregnancy?
For most uncomplicated pregnancies, yes — with modifications. Medical complications need obstetric clearance first.
Can you help pelvic girdle pain?
Yes — load modification, pelvic support strategies and strength are common focuses alongside medical care.
Do I need internal examination?
Not routinely for general prenatal MSK care; pelvic floor assessment is offered only with explanation and consent.
How do I book an appointment?
Message the practice on WhatsApp with a short description of your problem. The coordinator will reply during clinic hours to arrange a time.
Can I choose which physiotherapist I see?
Booking is with the practice rather than an individual. After you describe the problem, the practice assigns the physiotherapist whose clinical focus fits it. You can read about the team on the physiotherapists page.
Questions about your own case
When you can begin, how long it is likely to take, and what is safe between sessions all depend on your operation or diagnosis and on what your medical team has advised. Ask and you will get an answer about you rather than a general one.
