Physiotherapy During Pregnancy

Pregnancy is an exhilarating and distinctive journey in a woman’s life. Yet, it may also introduce stressors and changes that result in discomfort, altered mobility, and pain. Women’s health is of utmost importance to our physiotherapists at NDPE. We will conduct a thorough assessment and provide appropriate treatment options to improve 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 lead to the emergence of certain conditions and injuries. Physiotherapists may partner with you to address and handle these challenges. Moreover, they aim to aid in preparing your body for your baby’s birth.

Physiotherapists aim to teach you techniques to adapt your everyday activities and movement during pregnancy. This is vital for you to perform your necessary and beloved tasks safely and efficiently. Physios may also support you in maintaining strength and mobility as you begin to care for your new baby.

Physiotherapists are dedicated to making the most of your pregnancy journey and supporting you as you approach the exciting birth of your child.

Common Issues During and After Pregnancy

It is normal to experience discomfort during pregnancy, and issues may arise before, during, and after birth. However, these concerns can be evaluated during physiotherapy sessions. Some of these concerns may include:

How Physio Can Help Pre and Post Birth

During Pregnancy

During pregnancy, physiotherapists may offer numerous forms of assistance. This may include manual therapy, teaching you strategies for safety and mobility, and providing exercises to strengthen your lower back, core, and pelvic muscles, thus preparing your body for the birth of your child. They may also educate you on how 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

When receiving physiotherapy, treatment may include mobilisation of joints, taping affected areas, manual therapy, and massage. Therapy is tailored to your needs and stage of pregnancy to obtain the best and safest results possible.

Physiotherapists may also provide you with support and braces to wear. They may teach you various stretches and exercises that may continue to benefit you beyond each session, including hip flexor stretches, pelvic tilts, and Pilates and yoga moves. Additionally, maintaining good posture is essential for your comfort, and physios can provide guidance on how to improve yours.

Your Physio Questions Answered

How can I have physio when I can’t lie on my stomach anymore?

Our belly pillows are designed to provide you with comfort and safety while you lie down during treatment. If this doesn’t work for you, we can also work while you’re lying on your side or seated 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 provide benefits throughout your pregnancy. However, it’s essential to consult with your doctor first to confirm if treatment is suitable for your individual body and experience, as every woman’s situation is different.

Can my partner be involved?

Of course. We can teach them techniques to assist and support you during your pregnancy, throughout the birth process, and in the postpartum period once your baby arrives.

How soon after giving birth can I get back to physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is often an excellent way to aid you in adjusting to your post-birth body and supporting you in caring for your baby. Your doctors and physiotherapist can discuss with you when your body is ready.
