Baby Steps: Embracing Change and Building Strength with Pre and Post-Natal Physiotherapy

Pregnancy is a time of incredible change. Not only does it alter a woman's life in countless ways, but it also comes with profound physical changes. At Beaverton Physiotherapy, we understand these transformations and the impact they have on your body. Our team is dedicated to offering comprehensive pre and post-natal physiotherapy services to help take those vitals 'baby steps' towards a healthier pregnancy and life after childbirth.

Why Is Pre and Post-Natal Physiotherapy Important?

First and foremost, a woman's body undergoes significant physical adjustments during pregnancy. These include weight gain, posture changes, and hormonal fluctuations, which can all contribute to a variety of aches and discomforts. Post-natal physiotherapy can aid in the recovery from childbirth, ensuring the body regains its strength and functionality. It can also help mend issues such as abdominal separation, pelvic floor dysfunction, and back pain.

What to Expect During Pre-Natal Physiotherapy

Pre-natal physiotherapy is tailored to fit the individual needs of each expecting mother. It consists of safe, gentle exercises to promote overall health and prepare the body for delivery. It aims to enhance the strength of your pelvic floor muscles, improve your posture, boost your stamina for labor, and alleviate common pregnancy-related discomforts.

Post-Natal Physiotherapy: Healing Your Body After Childbirth

Post-natal physiotherapy provides a roadmap to recovery after childbirth. Whether you've had a natural birth or a cesarean section, our specialised team will guide you through exercises designed to help your body heal and regain its strength.

The first few weeks postpartum focus mainly on recovery, with gentle exercises to gradually restore your core and pelvic floor strength. As your body recovers, the sessions will progressively include more vigorous exercises to help you return to your pre-pregnancy fitness levels, or even exceed them!
