Tanya Croall

I qualified as a Chartered Physiotherapist in 2001 and became a mum for the first time in 2008.

I started running antenatal and postnatal classes in 2013, formerly under the banner of FitBack&Bumps.

Since then, continuing study, deeper professional training, and hands-on experience have enabled me to develop the clinic services I offer to women.

When I had my 3 children, I was surprised by how little information I was given about what I should do to recover from birth. I expected therefore that I would 'bounce back' and be able to carry on as before.

In 3 pregnancies no one checked my tummy, no one told me about my pelvic floor and no one told me what was normal after having a baby.

Even as a Physiotherapist I didn’t appreciate how much pregnancy and birth would change me, not just physically, but emotionally too.

Needing to find answers to my own health issues arising from the cumulative toll of pregnancy, birth, and becoming a mother, I wanted to help other women through their childbearing years and beyond, to let them know what is normal, what isn’t, and support them through the transition to motherhood.

My goal is to help women recover from pregnancy and birth, to support them to get back to the activities and exercise they love, or give them the confidence to continue.

To help women feel better and more comfortable in their pregnant and postnatal bodies.

“Tanya’s class is excellent! I started the class because of pelvic girdle pain during my second pregnancy. I have found that the exercises really help with the pain but also the classes are so informative that I wish I had known about them during my first pregnancy. I have learnt so much and I would highly recommend!”
