Women’s bodies undergo incredible changes throughout life — from adolescence to pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and menopause. These shifts come with physical demands that can affect your mobility, comfort, and overall well-being.
At Pittwater Chiro, we understand how hormonal cycles, pregnancy, birth, and the demands of motherhood can impact your body. Whether you’re dealing with monthly back pain, hip tightness during pregnancy, or struggling to get out of bed after a C-section, we’ve helped women just like you feel stronger, move better, and recover faster.
Hormonal influences on your body
Each month, hormonal changes affect how your joints and muscles feel. Many women experience back pain, headaches, or pelvic discomfort around their cycle. Through gentle adjustments and soft tissue therapy, we help ease this monthly tension and support your body’s natural rhythm.
One of our patients shared:
“I suffered from awful hip pain during my pregnancy… sleeping on my side every night was the worst. The only thing that helped was my weekly chiro appointments — they really got me through.”
During menopause, hormonal shifts can lead to joint stiffness and a drop in bone density. Our goal is to keep you moving, pain-free and strong with tailored care and mobility-focused rehab.
Pregnancy care that helps
Pregnancy is an exciting time, but let’s be real, it can be tough on your body. Back and pelvic pain, round ligament tension, and postural changes from your growing belly are incredibly common. The hormones that prepare your body for labour also create instability in other joints, often leading to pain in the hips, back, or shoulders.
We use pregnancy-safe techniques to reduce discomfort, improve pelvic alignment, and help you stay active and confident throughout your pregnancy.
As one mum told us:
“Seeing someone experienced in pregnancy chiropractic gave me peace of mind. It really eased my pain and helped me stay active through the final trimester.”
Postpartum recovery — with real results
After birth, whether it’s vaginal or via C-section, your body starts to rebuild. But lifting, feeding, and sleepless nights can bring a whole new wave of strain. We’re here to support your return to comfort, whether you’re recovering from birth or dealing with postural strain from breastfeeding and baby-carrying.
One postpartum mum shared:
“After two C-sections I was having the worst time with my lower back. My goal was just to get in and out of bed pain-free. Within 6 weeks, we achieved that!”
Another added:
“After my third baby, my swelling was next level. Lisa gave me the most incredible lymphatic drainage massage — I finally got my ankles back!”
