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?

{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 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 ways to adapt your everyday activities and movement while pregnant. This is important so that you can continue doing what you need and love to do safely and efficiently. Physios may also assist you to stay as strong and mobile as possible when you begin to care 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 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:

• 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

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 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

When undergoing physiotherapy, treatment may involve mobilisation of joints, taping affected areas, manual therapy, and massage. The therapy is individualised to suit your needs and stage of pregnancy, ensuring the best results possible.

Physiotherapists may also offer supports and braces for you to wear. You have the opportunity to learn numerous stretches and exercises that may be beneficial even beyond each session, such as hip flexor stretches, pelvic tilts, and Pilates and yoga moves. Ensuring good posture is vital for your comfort, and physios may provide you with tips to enhance yours.
