Strengthening your body after pregnancy

Your body did something extraordinary. When you're ready, here are the calm, non-surgical ways we can help you rebuild strength and confidence — in your own time.

Strengthening your body after pregnancy
At a glance

Strength builds over a course

Like any muscle group, the pelvic floor responds to consistent, repeated engagement. Treatments such as Tesla Chair are designed to support that over a planned series, rather than in a single visit.

Session 1 Across a course
Discreet, fully clothed, and always assessed privately in consultation.

First, be kind to yourself

Pregnancy and birth change the body in ways that are completely normal — softer core muscles, a different relationship with your pelvic floor, and skin that has stretched and is finding its way back. None of this is a flaw to fix in a hurry.

There's no timeline you have to meet. When you feel ready — and once your GP or obstetrician has cleared you for treatment — there are gentle, non-surgical options that can support your body as it recovers.

Rebuilding the core

The abdominal muscles often need encouragement to switch back on after pregnancy. Tesla Former uses electromagnetic energy to prompt deep muscle contractions you'd struggle to achieve on your own — it's designed to support muscle tone and strength as part of your wider recovery, alongside movement your health team recommends.

It's completely non-invasive, with no downtime, so it fits around life with a newborn.

The pelvic floor

Many women notice changes to bladder control after childbirth — it's extremely common, and rarely talked about. Tesla Chair, Australia's first, lets you stay fully clothed while seated, working the pelvic-floor muscles in a discreet, comfortable session.

If this is something you're dealing with, you're not alone, and there are options worth discussing privately.

Skin firmness, and where to start

Where skin has lost some firmness, radiofrequency treatments such as Accent Prime are designed to support tone and texture over a course.

The best first step is a relaxed consultation. We'll listen to how you're feeling, take your recovery and any clearance from your doctor into account, and only suggest what genuinely suits you — never a one-size-fits-all plan.

Can it help with core or pelvic-floor strength?
