Physiotherapy During Pregnancy & Postpartum
Physiotherapy During Pregnancy & Postpartum
During pregnancy, your body undergoes many changes, and a physiotherapist can help you navigate these changes and manage common issues. Collaborating with a physiotherapist can relieve pain, build strength, prepare you for delivery, and aid in recovery after your baby is born. At Ataraxia, our expert physiotherapists provide valuable insights into the benefits of prenatal and postnatal physiotherapy. Prenatal physiotherapy utilizes a physiotherapist’s expertise in understanding the body’s changes during pregnancy to support you through this transformative period. It is common to experience lower back, hip, or pelvic pain during pregnancy, along with upper back pain as the baby grows and shifts the center of gravity forward.
Our physiotherapists can provide valuable advices and strategies that include:
Positioning Techniques: Guidance on comfortable positions during pregnancy and labor.
Supportive Gear: Recommendations for bracing and compression wear to alleviate pain.
Pelvic Floor Exercises: Instruction on exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor and aid in postnatal recovery.
These techniques aim to make labor more manageable and reduce discomfort, ensuring a more positive experience. At Ataraxia, our dedicated physiotherapists are here to support you through your pregnancy journey, ensuring comfort and promoting a healthy recovery.
