Safe, Strong & Supported: The PhysioMatters Difference

Motherhood changes everything, including your body. But bouncing back isn’t about snapping into shape. It’s about healing from the inside out, feeling strong again, and reconnecting with your body in a whole new way.

Here are the real, inspiring journeys of Singapore mums who turned to postnatal Pilates at PhysioMatters and discovered strength they didn’t know they had. 💪

Customer Review 1:

Jaz 41

"After my C-section, I couldn't even sit up without help. Now I’m running after a toddler."

“I thought pain was normal after birth. My back hurt constantly, and my core felt gone. My doctor referred me to

PhysioMatters. I didn’t expect much from Pilates—I just wanted to feel human again.

But after one session, I realised: this was not just Pilates. It was therapy. My physio explained everything: why my muscles felt ‘switched off,’ why my scar was tight, how breathing could rebuild my core.

Six weeks later, I wasn’t just stronger—I was confident. I could carry my baby without fear. I could laugh without leaking. I had me back.”

Progress: Recovered core function, improved C-section scar mobility, returned to low-impact workouts after 3 months

Customer Review 2:

Sarah 29

"Nobody warned me about diastasis recti. PhysioMatters saved me from surgery."

“I had a 4cm ab separation after giving birth. My tummy looked ‘pregnant,’ and nothing felt right. I was scared to exercise in case I made it worse.

A friend recommended PhysioMatters, and I’m so grateful she did. My physiotherapist did a full assessment, then created a Pilates plan that didn't shame me.

Every session was gentle, educational, and empowering. Slowly, my gap closed. I can wear clothes I love again, not because of weight, but because my core works again. That’s real progress.”

Progress: Closed DR from 4cm to 1.2cm, regained core control, avoided surgical referral

Customer Review 3:

Amira, 37

"I was leaking when I sneezed. I thought it was just 'mum life.' Now I know better."

“I had no idea how important the pelvic floor was until it stopped working. I’d leak when I laughed and avoid long walks because I didn’t trust my body.

At PhysioMatters, they treated me with respect and no judgment. My sessions included breathing, pelvic floor work, and Pilates that felt safe, but powerful. Within two months, the leaking was gone.

Most importantly, I don’t feel embarrassed anymore. I feel proud. I’m not broken, I’m rebuilding.”

Progress: Eliminated stress incontinence, improved pelvic floor strength, returned to daily walks with confidence
