Don’t Let Your Birth Injury
Impact You Any Longer
Traumatic birth injuries often need more than the basic level of care. They may have specific nuances that don’t make them “one size fits all.” Things like prolapses, tears, dislocations, and other labour and birth complications may not heal on their own without the help of a trained eye and a gentle approach.
Return to Form is dedicated to helping new mothers recover from birth injuries by getting them the specific care they need. Our senior physiotherapist, Zee Sharif, is an expert in this area and has been helping hundreds of new mothers heal from birth injuries for over 17 years. Her care is now covered by ACC (co-payment applies).
Zee’s extensive understanding of pregnancy, pelvic floor health, and postnatal care has allowed her to greatly improve the lives of hundreds of new mothers. She is passionate about making positive differences in new mothers’ lives while improving strength, minimizing aches and pains, and creating better body confidence with safe movement and exercises. Zee uses a mixture of specific physio techniques, acupuncture and Pilates rehab to tailor a treatment plan that best fits her patients’ postpartum needs.
Very hands-on when it comes to helping the body heal, Zee has experience treating patients with the following:
Bowel and bladder incontinence
Vaginal prolapse, uterus prolapse, bowel prolapse, and bladder
Prolapse
Pain during sex
Bladder pain
Overactive bladder
Obstructive defecation
