Having a child and going through pregnancy is a cherished experience in the life of a new mother. However, it comes with its own set of challenges and difficulties. During pregnancy, a woman’s body undergoes drastic changes in the short span of 9 months. A woman experiences changes in the the level of her hormones, in her posture, balance, and even in her mental and emotional wellbeing. As the baby grows inside the womb and continues to get heavier, the pressure inside the abdomen and on the pelvic floor muscles keeps increasing. With this building pressure, it is important to ensure that the pelvic floor muscles remain strong to support the weight of the baby and to prevent the leakage of urine. During pregnancy, the center of gravity changes, there is more pressure on the organs, plus now the woman’s body has to carry more weight. Along with this, other muscles, joints and ligaments may also experience changes and thus, one may experience musculoskeletal symptoms. A woman may also experience back pain, pelvic pain and urinary incontinence. And this is where prenatal and postnatal physiotherapy come into the picture.
The goal of prenatal physiotherapy is to improve prenatal fitness of women to ensure that they have a healthier and easier pregnancy and delivery. A physiotherapist can evaluate, assess, treat and educate women on safe and effective exercises that can help with back pain, pelvic pain, and urinary incontinence. The physiotherapist can also work with your team of doctors and gynecologists to create a plan that follows a holistic approach to healthcare wherein detailed assessments and findings are exchanged between the doctors and the physiotherapist.
To help with issues during the prenatal phase, the physiotherapist will design a plan specifically for you that will take care of strengthening your pelvic floor and core muscles, and improving your flexibility, strength and joint mobilizations. Over and above this, the physiotherapist will also educate you and offer you advice on several aspects of the pregnancy phase and how to remain fit in the same.
