Book an assessment…

Based in the centre of Exeter at The Barefoot Physio, I believe all women should have access to postnatal/ postpartum assessment and progressive rehabilitation to achieve their goals. Be that getting back to pilates classes, swimming, CrossFit or just running around after your little ones with confidence. I offer a comprehensive assessment for women who have delivered vaginally or abdominally (c-section). If you’re 8 weeks postpartum or 8 years this is the assessment where you get to ask the questions and get the answers that matter to you.

I also offer general Womens health appointments;

  • For women experiencing pregnancy related issues like PGP, back pain or leakage on sneezing or coughing.

  • For women experiencing Pelvic Organ Prolapse.

  • For women experiencing pelvic pain.

  • For women experiencing peri menopause or menopause symptoms. Many women can experience side effects including pelvic floor dysfunction, poor sleep, general aches and pains and a shift in mood. We are able to assess and appropriately treat these side effects and work with ladies to achieve their goals.

I lead small group classes for ladies 8 weeks postnatal following your GP checkup, your baby is welcome to attend. The next Postnatal Pilates course runs for a block of 6 weeks always on Thursday. Starting on the 12th June at 10.ooam-10.45am with the last day being the 17th July 2025, at Exton Village Hall, Station Road, Exton, Exeter, EX3 0PS.

There’s ample free parking next to the venue in the church car park or on the road outside the hall.

We Work with the breath and gentile movement to build your foundations in strength, flexibility and functional movement. So often we rush back to exercise without the basics in place first, this is the time to focus on rehabilitation and getting strong for life as a mother. All abilities are welcome in class and you can bring your baby. The 6 week block is charged at £72 which along with filling in a health screen is payable prior to the start of the course.

Let’s start getting stronger!
