Physiotherapy During Pregnancy
Pregnancy is a thrilling and special phase in a woman’s life. However, it may also bring stressors and changes to the body, leading to discomfort, altered mobility, and pain. At NDPE, women’s health is a priority to our physiotherapists. We will assess your condition and offer suitable treatment options to enhance your pregnancy experience.
Why Visit a Physio During Your Pregnancy?
Receiving physiotherapy during pregnancy may be a valuable means to attain pain relief and enhance your mobility and flexibility. However, physios have much more to offer as your baby grows than you may assume.
Pregnancy can trigger specific conditions and injuries. Physiotherapists may work alongside you to address and manage these challenges. Moreover, they aim to aid in preparing your body for your baby’s birth.
Physiotherapists may provide guidance on adapting your everyday activities and movements during pregnancy. This is crucial to enable you to continue your essential and enjoyable tasks in a safe and efficient manner. Additionally, physios can support you to maintain strength and mobility as you transition into 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
Experiencing discomfort during pregnancy is a normal occurrence, and issues may arise before, during, and after birth. Yet, these concerns can be addressed during physiotherapy sessions. Some of 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)

- 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 significantly beneficial after you have given birth to your baby. Physiotherapists may assist you to strengthen your post-birth body, teach you ways to care for your baby by moving safely, and provide treatment options post-surgery for 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 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?
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 well-trained and experienced in women’s health and will assess you to create a safe and personalised plan.
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 fantastic way to support you in acclimating to your post-birth body and in caring for your baby. Your doctors and physiotherapist can have a discussion with you regarding when your body is ready.
