Pre & Post Partum Testimonials
"Caroline Rhodes and The Body Group have been instrumental in resolving severe back pain during two of my three pregnancies.
The first injury occurred in 1997 with my first child. At 37 weeks I tumbled off of a treadmill (only walking slowly). The resulting back pain was severe, traveling from my back wrapping around down my left leg and into my foot. I was literally incapacitated by the pain. My OB decided to induce the baby as I was immobilized, hoping that this would relieve the pain. Unfortunately it did not. Over the next 9 months I continued in severe pain. My left leg was often "dragging" as I could not lift it it properly. I went to many private physio's, Orthopedic surgeons, spent time in and out of traction and was warned to think twice before having another child.
After nine months I was sent to Caroline's clinic. Caroline immediately diagnosed a pelvic position "issue" (not clinical term but my understanding). She treated me for an hour and I left her clinic pain-free for the first time in nine months. Caroline continued to treat me until the problem was completely resolved, approximately four weeks. I was then able to resume exercising and was confident enough to get pregnant again six months later. During the pregnancy I was treated by Caroline every 1- 2 weeks to prevent a re-occurrence and everything went smoothly with no back pain.
Six years later I had my third child. I was a bit lazy and did not seek Caroline's help during the pregnancy. The result was at 39 weeks my back "went" again. The baby was born by an induced delivery. Upon returning home, I had to call an ambulance to take me back to the hospital because I could not get out of bed due to the severity of the pain. At the hospital, I was given anesthetic injections into the back muscles to allow me to get to The Body Group for treatment. Caroline and her team worked their magic and the pain was fully resolved within three weeks. A few weeks later I was jogging again!
For any woman suffering back pain due to pregnancy The Body Group therapists are a lifeline. It is very depressing to bring home a new baby and not be able to care for the child due to pain. Caroline and her team bring swift resolution to the crisis along with an understanding and caring environment. This positive environment is critical in not succumbing to despair and maintaining a positive outlook towards recovery and the return to a normal life.
Many thanks to Caroline and her team."

"I was seven months pregnant and was experiencing a lot of hip pain to the extent that it was waking me at night and making it difficult for me to walk and move around. I had experienced some hip pain previously but the pregnancy had made it much worse. I had two sessions at The Body Group about ten days apart. The first session in particular was very effective and relief from the pain was almost immediate. By the second session it was becoming very uncomfortable to be on my back and I found that session less effective.
I was very impressed with the results of the first session and feel that if I’d gone for treatment earlier I wouldn’t have had the discomfort for so long. I future, I would try The Body Group as a first option for similar conditions. In my limited experience of The Body Group I was impressed by the range of treatments offered and by an experienced staff. They took a joint “problem solving” approach to my condition and I felt that they listened to my description of what I was experiencing and collaborated to gain the best, most effective treatment and outcome for me."

"After the birth of my first child I had severe pain in the right side of my head and jaw. The pain gradually subsided after each treatment and after approximately six sessions the pain disappeared and has never returned. It is approx 1 year since the treatment. Extremely happy! The treatment was painless, fast and the result was permanent."
