Pregnancy and childbirth is an exciting time which brings with it unique challenges. It also brings with it a host of new daily routines which place new and sometimes greater strain on our bodies often due their repetitive nature such as feeding routines and moving your new little one between the car, bed and floor to play.
A physiotherapy assessment during pregnancy or during the postnatal period can assist in the management of several conditions to help support women during this exciting phase.
Physiotherapy and the New Mum
The first line of treatment involves a thorough assessment of your goals, symptoms, posture, lifting techniques and muscular strength to assist in creating a management plan specifically formulated for you and your journey.
Education, soft tissue therapy and exercises can then be used to assist you in meeting these goals.
If you have any questions about any of these, please get in touch.
