More Information
What to Expect From Postnatal Acupuncture
At your first appointment, we’ll assess your condition, and diagnose the cause of your pain or dysfunction. We’ll then discuss how acupuncture could benefit your symptoms and provide a tailored care plan.
Your first needling session will be shorter than usual – around 20 minutes – to check your tolerance and to ensure that the treatment is appropriate. It will also give you an idea of what to expect going forwards. If all is well, your next sessions will be extended to the full session length.
During an acupuncture session, needles are inserted around the site relating to your symptoms, as well as in other areas of your body, such as your hands and feet, which have positive effects throughout the body.
When dressing for your session, bear in mind where your symptoms are, and wear clothing which makes these areas easily accessible.

Emily Elgar
Emily has been with the Katie Bell team right from the start, and has since expanded her skills to include acupuncture, myofascial release, and professional coaching alongside classical pelvic health skills which reflects her combined approach to physiotherapy.
“I love not only helping women find the practical solutions to their pelvic and obstetric health challenges, but also helping them find their unique recipe for wellness. So often in clinic I hear that patients didn’t realise there was so much they could do to impact their symptoms. When a women comes in having taken control of their health they change in everyway. I love when she tells you about how she is physically better and feels it, but then talks about all the ways she understands her body more. There’s a lot of power in that, not just the one fix but embracing your health for life.”
