Physiotherapy at Baby Steps Subiaco

Musculoskeletal physiotherapy helps adults manage pain, improve movement, and recover from injuries or physical strain.While reducing pain is important, Musculoskeletal physiotherapy is also about restoring confidence in your body, understanding how and why symptoms show up, and putting small, achievable strategies in place to move better and feel stronger over time.Your physiotherapist works with you to understand patterns, not just problems. They look at how pain, movement and load interact, and what’s most likely to bring lasting change.

Discomfort isn’t always dramatic, but it can linger, limit, or slowly chip away at daily ease. Often, the right support is an experienced perspective that can join the dots between posture, strength, pain, and movement.

Protect what moves you

You don’t have to wait for pain to take the first step. Musculoskeletal physiotherapy is as much about injury prevention as it is recovery. If you’re returning to exercise after a break, adjusting to a new type of training, or just want to feel more confident in your body, seeing a physio can help you move smarter and reduce your risk of setbacks.

Parenthood and Performance

For athletes—whether amateur or professional—returning to sport after having a baby is more than rebuilding strength. It involves reconnecting with performance, trusting your body again, and doing it all in the context of disrupted sleep, hormonal shifts, and the demands of parenting.

You don’t need to choose between parenthood and performance. With the right support, you can rebuild in a way that respects both.

Returning to sport after having a baby is rarely linear. After all, you’re reconditioning the entire system, including core control, joint stability, hormonal recovery, movement patterns, and load management. Add fatigue, feeding, and schedule unpredictability, and it becomes clear that this is a unique physical transition that deserves a structured, specific approach.

Parenting takes strength

For many new parents, just getting through the day—lifting prams, carrying toddlers, sitting to feed, walking with fatigue—can take a toll on the body.

Musculoskeletal Physiotherapists at Baby Steps work with parents who want to move more comfortably, manage pain, or feel stronger in their day-to-day.

If you’re dealing with:

Ongoing back, neck or wrist pain from feeding or lifting
Shoulder or pelvic discomfort when carrying or walking
A general feeling of weakness or instability
Hesitation around movement and play because your body feels different than it used to
Or just a sense that something isn’t quite right

…it might be time to check in.

Your physiotherapist will help you build strength and confidence slowly and safely, with movement strategies that are realistic for your lifestyle and energy levels. No pressure, no performance—just support that fits you, right now.

For the love of movement
