What We Do
Here at Orchard Health Clinic, we offer various treatments and services that will help you address the pain you feel in your body. We do our best to get the root cause of your health problems.
Overview of Postnatal Care Treatment in Singapore
Postnatal care at Orchard Health Clinic supports mothers as they adjust to the physical demands of life after childbirth.
The body continues to undergo change long after delivery, and our focus is on helping mothers recover strength, manage discomfort, and restore overall function.
Practitioners may assist in addressing concerns such as back pain, pelvic discomfort, muscle fatigue, and posture strain. Each programme is tailored to the mother’s recovery timeline, condition, and goals, with the aim of easing daily activities and supporting well-being during this transition.
Beyond physical recovery, emotional well-being is also an important part of postnatal care. In Singapore, postnatal support is critical; about 1 in 10 new mothers experience postnatal depression, highlighting the importance of comprehensive recovery services that address both physical and emotional needs.
At Orchard Health Clinic, our postnatal care services in Singapore guide mothers through a smooth recovery after childbirth. Our practitioners tailor each session to your individual needs, helping you heal faster, feel stronger, and embrace motherhood with confidence.
What Are Prenatal Care Services?
Immediate Postpartum Stage
(Hours to Days)
This stage focuses on managing the early effects of childbirth. Therapy may include light techniques to reduce swelling, ease tension, and assist with posture as the body begins to stabilise. In the hours and days after delivery, we use light massage and breathing techniques to reduce swelling, ease muscle tension, and support initial posture adjustments.

During this time, attention is given to abdominal support, spinal alignment, and pelvic balance. Gentle exercises may help reintroduce strength and mobility while managing discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I start postnatal therapy?
You may begin once you have medical clearance from your healthcare provider. This can vary depending on the delivery and how your body is healing.
Can postnatal therapy help with breastfeeding strain?
Yes. Therapists can provide support for neck, shoulder, and wrist tension related to feeding posture. This is a common concern and is addressed in many postnatal plans.
Is postnatal care suitable for mothers months after delivery?
Yes. Many mothers seek support well beyond the early postpartum phase. The body can benefit from care even six months or more after childbirth. Learn more on our blogs.
Will I receive exercise guidance as part of my care?
Yes. Based on your condition, we may recommend simple movements to support strength, balance, and mobility. All guidance is personalised to your needs. Reach out to our team to learn more.
Can I attend sessions with my baby?
Let us know in advance so we can arrange the session accordingly. While we do our best to create a welcoming space, the session’s focus will remain on your care. You can also visit our homepage to learn more about our services.
How does postnatal care differ from prenatal care?
While prenatal care prepares your body for childbirth, postnatal care focuses on recovery, addressing issues like muscle repair and postpartum fatigue.
Can postnatal therapy help with cesarean scar healing?
Yes, we use specialised techniques to improve tissue flexibility and reduce discomfort around your scar.
What if I’m unsure about starting therapy?
We offer a consultation to assess your needs and design a plan that feels right for you.
How soon can I expect results?
Many mothers notice reduced discomfort within a few sessions, though full recovery varies by individual.
Supporting After Childbirth
Physical recovery can lift your spirits too. By easing pain and boosting energy, our postnatal care helps reduce stress and supports your emotional transition into motherhood.
