Pre and Post Natal Rehabilitation

During pregnancy (prepartum), your body undergoes a great number of changes. Pregnancy and the associated hormonal changes cause significant stress to the entire body, particularly the spine, pelvis and pelvic floor. Your weight may increase, and parts of your body will start to take on a greater amount of strain. . This can lead to pain while performing certain movements or holding certain positions such as sitting for long periods of time. Pelvic floor physical therapists are specially trained to treat patients who are planning to become pregnant or who are currently pregnant. Working with a pelvic floor therapist ,they will educate you on proper movement patterns, positioning, exercises, and stretches to make your pre-natal body strong. Having pelvic floor therapy done during pregnancy can better prepare women’s bodies during childbirth.
