During pregnancy, a woman's body undergoes various physiological and biomechanical changes to accommodate fetal development, which can result in musculoskeletal discomfort, lower back pain, urinary incontinence, and other common complaints.
Prenatal physical therapy provides physical and emotional support, offering suitable exercises, relaxation techniques, postural education, and guidance on breathing to prepare the body for childbirth. After childbirth, postnatal physical therapy aids in body recovery by strengthening abdominal and pelvic floor muscles, promoting healing of episiotomies or cesarean sections, and assisting in the rehabilitation of posture and musculoskeletal function.
Why is Physiotherapy recommended for this treatment?
Physiotherapy is recommended for pre- and postpartum women because physiotherapists have the specialized knowledge required to understand the specific needs of this population and provide individualized and safe care. They play an important role in promoting maternal health, providing physical and emotional support during pregnancy, and aiding in postpartum recovery, thus facilitating the transition to motherhood.
