Why prenatal physical therapy?
Pregnancy is a time of incredible growth and adaptation. Your body goes through significant changes to accommodate your developing baby. Prenatal physical therapy can help you navigate these changes by:
Managing Pregnancy-Related Pain: Back pain, sciatica, round ligament pain – these are just some common discomforts. Physical therapy can provide targeted stretches, exercises, and manual therapy techniques to alleviate pain and improve mobility.
Preparing Your Body for Delivery: Learning proper breathing and lengthening of your pelvic floor muscles can lead to a smoother and more comfortable childbirth experience.
Promoting Optimal Posture: Physical therapists can assess and address postural changes that occur during pregnancy, minimizing aches and pains.
Educating You on Body Mechanics: Learn proper movement patterns to reduce stress on your joints and muscles throughout pregnancy.
Why Postpartum Physical Therapy?
After childbirth, your body is recovering from a major event. Postpartum physical therapy can help you:
Recover from Delivery: Whether you had a vaginal birth or a cesarean section, physical therapy can help strengthen your core and pelvic floor muscles, promoting healing and reducing pain.
Address Diastasis Recti: This separation of abdominal muscles is a common postpartum issue. Physical therapy can help close the gap and restore core strength.
Manage Urinary Incontinence or Leakage: Physical therapy exercises can strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, improving bladder control.
Reduce Postpartum Pain: From back pain to pelvic pain, physical therapy can provide targeted relief and promote healing.
Strengthening for Baby Care: Physical therapy can teach you the proper lifting techniques and core engagmeent to prevent injuries while caringfor your baby
