What to Know About Pre & Post Natal Physiotherapy

Blog Article

Pre and post natal physiotherapy focuses on supporting individuals during and after pregnancy by addressing physical changes that may occur throughout this period. During pregnancy, the body goes through shifts in posture, joint mobility, and muscle function, which may lead to discomfort or movement challenges. Physiotherapy during this time may assist with managing these changes through guided exercises, movement strategies, and education on posture and daily activities.

Pre natal care may help individuals stay active in a way that feels safe and comfortable while also preparing the body for childbirth. Attention is often given to core stability, pelvic floor function, and breathing techniques that support overall well-being during pregnancy.

After childbirth, post natal physiotherapy may support recovery by addressing muscle imbalances, changes in pelvic floor function, or discomfort that may develop. It can also provide guidance for returning to activity, lifting, or caring for a baby in ways that protect the body and promote healing.

Each experience is different, so the approach to care is adjusted based on individual needs, goals, and comfort. Open communication between the physiotherapist and the individual is an important part of this process, helping ensure that care feels supportive and manageable.
