Our physio's will guide you through exercises that are suitable at different stages of pregnancy and motherhood. We'll help you to build and maintain essential muscle strength to navigate the changes to your body both during and after pregnancy.
Pregnancy and the post-natal period involve many transformations to your body. During these times, it is essential to maintain muscle strength and fitness to cope with the many changes that will occur. During your pregnancy, it is common to suffer from pains in different parts of your body as the shape of your body adapts. Along with physio treatment, a pregnany physio will know about which supports, braces, tights, taping techniques, and other remedies will be helpful for you to manage better.
After your baby arrives, you will encounter some different challenges including new positions you are probably not used to, along with carrying and lifting your baby. This may cause a range of issues including back pain and wrist pain. So that you can get your fitness and activity levels back to the level you wish, your post-natal physio will educate you as to what are the most appropriate exercises during this period to rebuild your abdominal and pelvic floor muscles and how to build activity without injury.
Our Post-natal & Pregnancy Physiotherapist will be able to assist you with a range of Women’s Health conditions. They can guide you through an exercise program tailored to your stage of pregnancy or motherhood, and assist in treating the common conditions that pregnant women and new mothers often face.
