From Pregnancy to Parenthood: 5 Things New Mums in Singapore Need to Know About Our Women & Children Centre

Physio&SoleClinic Physiotherapy, Podiatry September 19 2025

Becoming a mum is exciting, but it also comes with new challenges for both you and your baby. Many mums in Singapore experience back pain, pelvic floor weakness, or fatigue after childbirth. At the same time, it is normal to worry about your child’s growth, from their first crawl to their first steps.

That is why we started Women & Children Centre in Singapore. It is a one-stop clinic where mums and kids can both get the care they need. Our team of physiotherapists and podiatrists helps you recover, regain strength, and support your child’s healthy development.

Here are five important things you should know about how we can help.

1. Pregnancy Support Starts Before Birth

Pregnancy often brings aches and pains. Back pain, pelvic discomfort, and swollen feet are very common. But you do not have to suffer through it.

At our centre, prenatal physiotherapy includes:

• Gentle exercises to keep you strong and safe
• Hands-on treatment to release tension
• Advice on posture, sleeping, and daily movement
• Preparation for labour

With the right support, you can enjoy pregnancy with less pain and more confidence.

2. Postpartum Recovery Made Easier

After birth, your body needs time to heal. Many mums notice issues such as:

• Pelvic floor weakness (causing leakage or heaviness)
• Abdominal separation (diastasis recti)
• C-section scar discomfort
• Neck and shoulder pain from feeding or carrying the baby

Our postnatal physiotherapy helps you recover faster. We work on pelvic floor and core strength, release muscle tension, and guide you back to exercise safely. Early care prevents these problems from becoming long-term and helps you feel like yourself again.

3. Supporting Your Baby’s Growth

Every mum notices how their baby moves, crawling, sitting, or walking. If something looks unusual, you may wonder if it’s normal.

Paediatric physiotherapy can help with:

• Flat feet
• Pigeon toe walking
• Delayed milestones (like late walking)
• Sports or playground injuries in older kids

Sessions are fun and child-friendly. We use play-based therapy to keep little ones comfortable while building strong, healthy movement.

4. Caring for Feet, For Both Mums and Kids

Feet often get overlooked, but they carry you through the day. During pregnancy, many mums feel new aches or swelling. Children also need proper support as they grow.

Our podiatrists can help by:

• Making custom insoles for better comfort and support
• Treating corns, warts, or nail problems
• Advising on the best shoes for both mums and kids

Healthy feet mean less pain and more energy for everyday life.

5. A One-Stop Centre for Families

Caring for yourself and your baby is a lot of work. Running between different clinics makes it even harder.

At our Women & Children Centre, you’ll find everything in one place:

• Care for mums and children under one roof
• Physiotherapists and podiatrists working as a team
• A family-friendly, welcoming environment

This means less stress for you and consistent care for your family.

Motherhood is a big change, but you don’t have to go through it alone. At Women & Children Centre in Singapore, we help both mums and children feel supported and cared for.
