The Postpartum Physio Exeter

Fantastic experience: I visited the Postpartum Physio for a pre partum assessment. Victoria was warm, welcoming and professional throughout, explaining every stage and putting me at ease. The session gave me the reassurance I didnt know I needed and confidence in my body. She provided great guidance to fine tune my pelvic floor health and practices leading up to childbirth. I'd highly recommend booking in pre partum, I feel its set me on the right path to ensuring my post partum recovery is also as optimal as possible.

Fantastic experience: Victoria is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and supportive. She took the time to really listen, making the appointment feel thorough and personalised. Her advice was clear, practical, and tailored to my needs. I would highly recommend Victoria to anyone who has recently had a baby, regardless of whether their pregnancy or birth was straightforward or involved complications. I booked an appointment after a friend recommended her as I wanted guidance on safely rebuilding my core strength at eight weeks postpartum - she was exactly what I was looking for! She provided simple, effective tips and realistic exercises that are easy to fit into daily life, even with a newborn. I left feeling much more confident about my recovery and knowing exactly what I should be doing at home.

Fantastic experience: I went to see Victoria after I had my first baby for a ‘mummy MOT’ and she was amazing. She really listens and tailors her advice and support. I knew second time around there was no one I would trust more with my postpartum recovery and immediately signed up to her Pilates classes. I haven’t been disappointed - the classes are just as supportive and it is great that I can take my baby with me and ease back into fitness in a non judgmental environment. The classes cover exactly what you need and are adapted to meet the needs of those attending - truly fantastic!

Fantastic experience: Victoria provides an amazing service, she is holistic in her support and has excellent knowledge around women's health. After coming to the appointment feeling a bit wobbly, Victoria made me feel seen and provided lots of support and assurance to help me feel stronger postpartum. I wish I went to see her sooner!

Fantastic experience: Victoria provides a comprehensive, thorougher postnatal assessment. She helped facilitate a smooth transition back to pre-pregnancy fitness.

Fantastic experience: Recently attended my first postpartum physio session, Victoria put me at ease and made me feel very confident in my postpartum recovery. It was a wonderful bonus that I was able to attend this appointment with my baby. Really looking forward to my next session!

Fantastic experience: I saw Victoria a couple of years postpartum I was increasing the intensity and duration of exercise and having difficulty some stress incontinence. I found her very approachable, thorough, kind and really knowledgeable. Tailoring the appointments to my specific needs. She is informed about sport and exercise as well as womens health. I would thoroughly recommend her for anyone wanting to get back to being more active but experiencing symptoms that are impacting on this.

Fantastic experience: Amazing service! Thank you Victoria for your kindness, expertise and enthusiasm. I am excited to be on the path to running again. Victoria is the voice every mother needs to hear- couldn't recommend more highly.

Fantastic experience: I went to Victoria for a Mummy MOT after putting it off for a while and I was so pleased I did. Victoria puts you at ease from the start, and her knowledge and passion for women's health is so evident. I felt confident in her care and she's given me exercises to help sort out the issues I'm facing. I highly recommend a visit to her!

Fantastic experience: Victoria was recommended to me after I had major surgery. I wanted to get back to the gym and running again and I wasn’t sure how to start and was concerned about complications as my cervix etc had been removed and I have also had 5 children so I didn’t want to prolapse . Victoria is a life saver - I felt so safe and confident in her care and her knowledge is phenomenal. Victoria sent me off with exercises and a programme to follow and I’m now back to doing everything I love ! I think every woman should go and see her what ever age !

Fantastic experience: I'm so pleased I met Victoria. She's highly knowledgeable and so thorough in her assessments that I knew I could completely trust her advice. I feel really reassured after meeting with her. She has motivated and equipped me to return to the activities and exercises that I love the most. I would highly recommend Victoria to anyone with pelvic health symptoms!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely loved Victoria's Pilates classes. I attended the beginners and then the intermediate group. I felt so comfortable in the classes and really supported by Victoria and the other mums. It was a lovely non judgemental space to get back into Pilates and chat with other like minded mums sharing notes on the highs and lows of parenting! I would highly recommend : )

Fantastic experience: I've had my first session with Victoria and she's gone over and above to deliver exceptional treatment. She's very professional, attentive and has offered very holistic support. I couldn't recommend her highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Victoria was so professional and really tailored the consultation and assessment to my needs. It was such an amazing appointment as it felt like the first time since my baby was born that I could focus on myself for an hour and think about my future physical health and getting back to the gym. Really highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I’ve seen Victoria after the birth of both of my babies for a Mummy MOT and couldn’t recommend her enough. Her knowledgable, calm and compassionate manner instantly make you feel at ease. She really understands any concerns post-birth and has a wealth of experience to apply to make things better. The app makes exercises easy to remember and understand too, so you are confident you are doing them correctly. Victoria’s postnatal Pilates classes are also brilliant!

Fantastic experience: A really helpful, informative and compassionate appointment. I am so glad I went. Victoria was really knowledgeable and reassuring. I wish I had gone sooner!

Fantastic experience: Victoria is the absolute BEST. She so clearly knows her stuff and does her research, she made me feel so seen and understood and guided me through all the issues I was struggling with pre and post giving birth. An absolute font of knowledge and just so approachable, fun and kind - I can't recommend a visit to Victoria any more.

Fantastic experience: This lady is incredible. I love her holistic approach and how kind, knowledgeable and professional she is. It’s the absolute best thing you can do for yourself is to go see Victoria. I hope to continue seeing her for many years to come.

Fantastic experience: Without a doubt, one of the best things I have done for myself postpartum. I booked a mummy MOT assessment and then a follow up following the birth of my baby boy, where I sustained a nasty third degree tear. Victoria was fantastic, she is extremely knowledgable, passionate about woman’s health, empathetic, relatable and couldn’t have made me feel any more comfortable following one of the most uncomfortable and traumatic situations I had faced during labour. She really acted like my cheer leader and couldn’t have reassured me more. I have come really far in my recovery, my pelvic floor is so much stronger already in a matter of around 8 weeks. She is an absolute asset to the profession and I could not be any more grateful.

Fantastic experience: The best thing a woman can do as part of self care is to visit Victoria. She's made such a huge difference even in a single appointment it's incredible. Very thorough, listens to all your concerns and is always learning more (despite it already feeling like she knows everything!) I can't imagine a more effective physio.

Fantastic experience: Victoria is so supportive, caring, and really knows her stuff. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Fantastic experience: I’ve just finished a course of advanced postnatal pilates with Victoria. After seeing her for a Mummy MOT, a follow up appointment and a beginner course of pilates I can say with authority how wonderful Victoria is at what she does. She takes the time to really listen, makes amendments for different bodies and capabilities (while still challenging the body safely). Since meeting Victoria back in January I feel like a different person. My body is my own again, my strength is back and I can keep pushing myself to be a strong Mum and role model for my little boy. Postnatal care is so important and I’m so glad I trusted her with mine.

Fantastic experience: Victoria’s postpartum sessions have been amazing. Not only a lovely community of ladies all in the same situation as you, but also such a welcoming class perfect to get you back into exercise. Being able to bring your little one also a bonus - not having to worry about childcare. My confidence and strength has built up and has left me feeling ready to continue my fitness journey. Thank you Victoria you are brilliant :)

Fantastic experience: Victoria is absolutely brilliant. She is lovely, professional and knowledgable. I am so glad I have done her beginners and advanced pilates classes - it has really helped my recovery post-birth. I also went for a ‘mummy MOT’ consultation which was so helpful and really helped boost my confidence that my pelvic floor recovery was going in the right direction. The appointment was very reassuring and was followed up immediately with a plan for me to follow as well. Really recommend a visit to see her.

Fantastic experience: Victoria listen carefully to your story and really wants to help and find a solution.

Fantastic experience: I am so glad I did this; it's a long process getting to know your body again after having a baby and I think it would be great if more women knew about Mummy MOTs. Pelvic health is so important at any stage of life and we also addressed my diastasis and pelvic girdle pain. Not only did I leave with an exercise programme and an understanding of my starting point, but I also left with a much better idea of what I need to work on to regain my strength and get back to daily life and sport after pregnancy (and before any future pregnancies). It was a thorough assessment in a comfortable environment that left me feeling very reassured, and I have already recommended Victoria to my whole NCT group. I'm looking forward to the postpartum pilates course!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Victoria. After some trouble following 2 c-sections I had a referral and wasn’t sure what to expect but Victoria was really friendly and took time to understand my history and the struggles I was having. She talked me through each step she was taking and the reasons behind what was happening. During my sessions not only has she has helped me with my issue but she’s really helped to give me back the confidence I had lost and helped me to see I could achieve more than I thought I was physically capable of. Would highly recommend any postpartum mummy to have a little check-in.

Fantastic experience: Victoria is just so brilliant and I would highly recommend her services to all mummy’s. The Mummy MOT is the best thing I have done for myself post c section. I understand my body and scar so much more after my visit! Victoria is friendly, calm, interested and professional and has amazing knowledge. She really takes the time to listen and support and the report she sends you after is really helpful. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: Victoria was compassionate and kind. I had a few postpartum issues and Victoria was so reassuring during my assessment. She was able to pinpoint the reasons behind my issues and after following my physio program they have now been resolved.

Fantastic experience: I saw Victoria for a post natal assessment at 9 weeks. Victoria was amazing- incredibly thorough, competent and positive. I feel encouraged and empowered to build up my fitness post natally. Would definitely recommend to all new mums.

Fantastic experience: Amazing!! Highly highly recommend! Victoria is so knowledgeable about postpartum and women’s health and it was definitely the confidence boost I needed to know how to look after myself post c-section. Victoria showed me how to look after my scar, my pelvic floor and what exercises to do for my back as well. She was lovely and so helpful! Couldn’t think of a better place to go post birth for a full mummy MOT!

Fantastic experience: Victoria has a wealth of knowledge covering both issues in pregnancy & postpartum recovery. All mums should see her after the birth of their child!

Fantastic experience: Victoria is very caring and makes you feel at ease. She has equipped me with the knowledge postpartum that I have been looking for and feel much more confident to get back to my fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Thank you So much for giving me hope and helping me get back to a stronger core, and stronger me. You gave me so much more understanding of my post baby body and I now have a new found respect with Pilates where I’m building strength every week. It was a journey (!) but thank you so much for opening some of those well needed doors for me, and guiding through such a tough time. Having someone who fully understands and has experience was invaluable

Fantastic experience: I have absolutely loved doing the postpartum Pilates class with Victoria. It has given me the confidence to go back to doing exercise and the foundations to go back stronger. Thank you vic!

Fantastic experience: Vic is extremely knowledgeable, approachable and accommodating. It’s so great being able to do a class for yourself but with the baby attending. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Victoria Caulfield was amazing - I cannot recommend her highly enough! Having Victoria do my Mummy MOT after the birth of my baby was invaluable. Victoria gives far more than a physio service, for me it was like therapy - like talking to a friend. I came back from my first appointment with her feeling so much happier and more positive not only about my pelvic floor but about my transition to motherhood as well. Within a couple of session with Victoria I was back to running again and with no unwanted side effects - I would recommend that every mum has a Mummy MOT with Victoria - it was so helpful and gave me a real peace of mind about my pelvic floor and the recovery of my body postpartum. Should I have more children, I will certainly be booking another appointment with Victoria postpartum.

Fantastic experience: I decided to book a Mummy MOT after struggling with some pelvic floor issues postpartum. Victoria is knowledgable, thorough and made me feel at ease instantly. I now feel confident I can tackle the issues over time with a specific exercise plan tailored to me. I am looking forward to my follow up appointment.

Fantastic experience: I made an appointment with Victoria based on a recommendation from my midwife - because I wanted to understand whether or not I needed to be concerned about diastasis and also whether or not I was actually doing pelvic floor exercises properly! Victoria was, quite simply, brilliant. She has a lovely manner, is obviously very knowledgeable and communicates really effectively. I left my appointment feeling reassured and with a clear plan for how to manage exercises and stretching for the remainder of my pregnancy - and where to come for additional support, if needed, post-partum. I am really glad that I found Victoria - I couldn't recommend her highly enough for any women's health related physio issues.

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend highly enough! Victoria was welcoming and made me feel at ease. I felt heard, and left feeling very positive about my way forward. Well worth the money to finally get somewhere, as other avenues haven’t been so helpful. Thanks again!!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Victoria. She has a wealth of knowledge, but is able to explain everything in a really accessible manner. I left my appointment feeling informed and listened to and her advice and reassurance has already made a massive difference. Thank you Victoria!

Fantastic experience: I came to see Victoria 9 weeks postpartum as i felt ready to go back to exercising but wanted to make sure my pelvic floor and abdominal muscles were ready for it. Victoria took the time to understand how the pregnancy, labour, birth and recovery went as well as my objectives moving forward. Her assessment was incredibly thorough and she adapted it to how I was doing as well. She knew how to make me comfortable for the internal examination (which you don’t have to have if you don’t want to but really it’s nothing to be worried about - after all if you’re seeing Victoria you’ve mostly likely given birth) We practiced lots of exercises and she gave me more to do at home. I strongly recommend Victoria if you’re looking for a quality reliable woman’s health physio in exeter!

Fantastic experience: The treatment I received was excellent and tailored to me. Victoria listened to me and then explained what the issues were. I was given easy to follow exercises and I now have so much confidence going about my daily life. I can't rate Victoria highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Victoria’s empathy, experience and knowledge have helped me through a very difficult post-surgery period. From being told never to lift weights again, to front squatting 60kilos for reps without any pain- it’s an amazing feeling- I never thought it would happen, but it has thanks to Victoria. She has a wealth of knowledge and is one of those genuinely life-affirming people- I would recommend her to everyone- Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: I am 73 yrs old, had a prolapse operation and couldn’t do my pelvic floor exercises!! My husband was already seeing a Physio in the practice and recommended I talk to Victoria who was a Postpartum Physio. She was a breath of fresh air, explaining to me about the muscle mass and how it worked. Turned out I’d never been doing my pelvic floor exercises correctly - I’d never been taught properly!!! It took me a little while to master the technique but with Victoria’s encouragement and kind words I got there. This is a ‘life skill’ so I would recommend anyone to talk this through with Victoria who will put you at your ease with this rather ‘personal’ problem.

Fantastic experience: Would definitely recommend the mummy MOT for all mums. Victoria made me feel very comfortable throughout the consultation and gave me a lot more confidence returning back to exercise.

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Victoria enough as she's doing brilliant job! She's very knowledgeable, helpful and warm person. I really enjoy our sessions and see a real progress in the way I feel and my body recovers. The best investment you can do

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed the post partum pilates course. Victoria is approachable and classes are varied. It helped me to get my confidence up so that I could get back to being more active again. Everything is scalable and I noticed improvements in my abilities as the weeks went on. Thank you, a very nice course

Fantastic experience: I had a Mummy MOT and follow up with Victoria, and found it really useful. Victoria makes you feel very at ease. I’d recommend to anyone who wants help and guidance on their pelvic floor

Fantastic experience: After giving birth to my baby boy in Nov 2021, I started experiencing light bladder leakage and decided to look for help outside the NHS. That was when I found The Postpartum Physio in Exeter. I met Victoria and from day one felt at ease. She is very knowledgeable and explains everything in detail. She has helped me treat my symptoms and get me ready to go back to doing physical activities. I would definitely recommend her services even if you don't have any postpartum issues and just want to get checked to be sure your postpartum recovery is going as expected.

Fantastic experience: A mummy MOT with Victoria is worth every penny! I had my initial assessment at just 7 weeks postpartum. Victoria instantly put me at ease and took the time to understand (and help me make sense of!) my birth and postpartum experience. She is empathetic, professional, and knowledgeable: it is clear that she is extremely passionate about what she does. Victoria highlighted issues that I was unaware of, addressed my symptoms, and supported me to reach my health and fitness goals in a safe way. I feel sure that without Victoria’s guidance, I would not have been able to return to my usual exercise regime without causing long-term problems. For me, this is a postpartum essential!

Fantastic experience: I love post natal pilates. Victoria is an amazing instructor and very helpful when the babies cry! It felt great to do the exercises, which became progressively harder as the weeks went on. I started the course 8 weeks post partom and it was amazing to start being active again whilst helping my body to heal, repair and become stronger in the safest way possible. I feel like this course is a vital stepping stone in any new mum's journey towards or back to other forms of exercise and training.

Fantastic experience: AMAZING…every mum needs a mummy MOT with Victoria! You are welcomed and immediately put at ease with Victoria’s warmth and kindness. She begins by taking a very thorough history from pregnancy through to birth and motherhood but it just feels like a nice chat with an old friend. You will then have a full assessment and examination including pelvic floor if you wish, before Victoria then puts together an exercise plan for you, which you are also sent later to follow online. Victoria is so passionate about what she does and providing support for women postnatally and it really shows, her approach is totally holistic and the whole 1 hour 15 is ‘your’ time, you will leave feeling like a new person. Plus you get a lovely good bag Worth every penny, thank you Victoria x

Fantastic experience: Victoria is an excellent, very knowledgeable and welcoming teacher. Each class is carefully prepared and easy to follow with an increasing level of challenge each week which is perfect for after giving birth and not having exercised for some time. I feel stronger and more myself after each class. Highly recommend for all new mums. Victoria is a delight.
