Pregnancy Physiotherapy
Pregnancy physiotherapy, often referred to as prenatal or antenatal physiotherapy, is a physical therapy tailored to your unique needs as an expectant mother.
We focus on promoting physical health and well-being during pregnancy, addressing musculoskeletal issues, and preparing women for childbirth and postpartum recovery.
Here are the reasons why you should go for pregnancy physiotherapy:
Pain Relief:
This will help alleviate common pregnancy-related discomforts such as back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica through targeted exercises and manual techniques.
Posture Improvement:
Proper posture and body mechanics are crucial during pregnancy to minimise strain on your back and joints.
Strengthening Core Muscles:
Strengthening the core and pelvic floor muscles can aid in supporting the growing belly, reducing the risk of diastasis recti (abdominal separation), and improving your overall stability.
Enhanced Mobility:
Gentle stretches and exercises enhance joint mobility and flexibility, making it easier to adapt to the changes in your changing body.
Preparation for Labor:
We teach relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, and labour positions that can aid during your childbirth.
Faster Postpartum Recovery:
Building a strong foundation during pregnancy can expedite postpartum recovery and help you regain your pre-pregnancy fitness levels.
Pelvic Floor Health:
This can prevent or address issues like incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse by strengthening your pelvic floor muscles.
