Physiotherapy During Pregnancy
Pregnancy is an exciting and unique time in a woman’s life. It is also a time when the body is faced with stressors and changes that may cause discomfort, altered mobility, and pain. Women’s health is important to our physiotherapists at NDPE. We will assess you and provide treatment options suitable for you 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 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 want you to be able to enjoy your pregnancy as much as possible and can assist you on your journey to the exciting birth of your child.
Common Issues During and After Pregnancy
It is a normal part of pregnancy to feel discomfort, and issues can occur before, during, and after birth. However, these can be assessed during physiotherapy sessions. These concerns can 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)

- Carpal tunnel syndrome
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
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. There are many stretches and exercises you can also learn to do that aim to aid beyond each session, such as hip flexor stretches, pelvic tilts, and Pilates and yoga moves. Maintaining good posture is also crucial to your comfort, and physios may point out ways you can improve yours.
Your Physio Questions Answered
How can I have physio when I can’t lie on my stomach anymore?
Experience the comfort and safety of our belly pillows while receiving treatment. If this option isn’t suitable, we may also work while you lie on your side or sit in a chair.
Is pregnancy safe during pregnancy?
Yes. Our physiotherapists are skilled and experienced in women’s health and will evaluate your needs to create a safe and tailored plan for you.
Can physiotherapy be done each trimester?
Physiotherapy may offer advantages throughout your pregnancy. It’s important to have a conversation with your doctor beforehand to determine if treatment is appropriate for your specific body and experience, as each woman’s condition is unique.
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 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.
