Physiotherapy During Pregnancy
Pregnancy is an exciting and unparalleled period in a woman’s life. However, it may also present challenges such as discomfort, altered mobility, and pain due to bodily changes and stressors. At NDPE, we prioritise women’s health, and our physiotherapists will assess your condition and offer tailored treatment options to enhance your pregnancy experience.
Why Visit a Physio During Your Pregnancy?
Undergoing physiotherapy during pregnancy may be practical in gaining pain relief and improving your mobility and flexibility. However, physios aim to assist you in various other ways as your baby grows, surpassing your assumptions.
Pregnancy can cause certain conditions and injuries to arise. Physiotherapists aim to work with you to treat and manage these. They may also aid in preparing your body for your baby’s birth.
Physiotherapists may instruct you on ways to adjust your everyday activities and movement during pregnancy. This is essential to continue engaging in necessary and enjoyable tasks with safety and efficiency. Moreover, physios may assist you in maintaining strength and mobility as you embark on caring for your new baby.
Physiotherapists aim to ensure you can fully enjoy your pregnancy and are here to support you on your journey to the exciting birth of your child.
Common Issues During and After Pregnancy
Feeling discomfort during pregnancy is a common experience, and issues can arise before, during, and after birth. However, these concerns can be assessed during physiotherapy sessions. These issues may include:
- Lower back, rib, hip coccyx and neck pain
- Pelvic changes and pelvic floor dysfunction
- Urinary and faecal incontinence
- Prolapses
- Pelvic girdle pain
- Injuries sustained during birth
- Breast feeding issues and mastitis
- Abdominal muscle separation (DRAM)

How Physio Can Help Pre and Post Birth
During Pregnancy
Physiotherapists may provide various forms of assistance during pregnancy. This may involve manual therapy, teaching you strategies to stay safe and mobile, and offering exercises to strengthen your lower back, core, and pelvic muscles to prepare your body for the birth of your child. They may also educate you on methods to stay comfortable during the birth.
After Birth
Physiotherapy may also be highly beneficial after you have given birth to your baby. Physiotherapists may aid you in strengthening your post-birth body, teach you safe ways to care for your baby while moving, and provide treatment for any post-surgery issues that may have occurred during the birth.
Types Of Physiotherapy Treatment During Pregnancy
During physiotherapy, treatment may encompass mobilisation of joints, taping affected areas, manual therapy, and massage. The therapy is customised to your specific needs and stage of pregnancy to achieve the best results possible.
Physiotherapists may also provide you with support and braces as needed. There are plenty of stretches and exercises you can learn to continue benefiting from between sessions, including hip flexor stretches, pelvic tilts, and Pilates and yoga moves. Maintaining good posture is key to your comfort, and physios may identify ways to improve yours.
Your Physio Questions Answered
How can I have physio when I can’t lie on my stomach anymore?
We have belly pillows that enable you to comfortably and safely lie down while we provide treatment. If this is not right for you, we can also treat you while you lie on your side or sit in a chair.
Is pregnancy safe during pregnancy?
Yes. Our physiotherapists are trained and experienced in women’s health and will assess you and develop a safe and personalised plan for you.
Can physiotherapy be done each trimester?
Physiotherapy may be beneficial all through your pregnancy. Talk with your doctor first to ensure treatment is right for you as every woman’s body and experience is different.
Can my partner be involved?
Absolutely. We can teach them ways to support you while you are pregnant, during the birth, and once your baby arrives.
How soon after giving birth can I get back to physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is often a wonderful way to assist you in adapting to your post-birth body and in caring for your baby. Your doctors and physiotherapist can have a conversation with you about when your body is ready.
