FAQ'S
FAQ'S
-
Prenatal physiotherapy focuses on addressing the physical changes and challenges that occur during pregnancy. We can help you manage common pregnancy-related discomforts, such as back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica, while also preparing your body for labour and delivery.
-
Prenatal physiotherapy can be beneficial at any stage of pregnancy. However, it’s ideal to start early in your pregnancy, even if you’re not experiencing any discomfort. Early intervention can help prevent issues before they arise and ensure you maintain optimal physical health throughout your pregnancy.
-
Yes! Prenatal physiotherapy is highly effective in managing pelvic girdle pain and lower back pain, which are common during pregnancy. A physiotherapist can provide specific exercises, manual therapy, fittings for specialised compression shorts and advice on posture and daily activities to alleviate pain and improve mobility, ensuring you stay comfortable and active throughout your pregnancy.
-
During pregnancy, if there are no contraindications, it's recommended to engage in 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week. Pilates is particularly beneficial for maintaining strength, flexibility, and posture while easing common discomforts. After childbirth, gentle Pilates exercises can aid recovery by strengthening the pelvic floor and core. As you heal, you can gradually increase the intensity, with Pilates offering a safe way to rebuild strength and stability. Always consult your healthcare provider or physiotherapist to ensure your exercise routine is appropriate for each stage of your pregnancy or postpartum recovery.
-
Postnatal physiotherapy is important for helping your body recover after childbirth. It focuses on restoring strength to the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles, addressing issues like diastasis recti (abdominal separation), and managing any pain or discomfort related to delivery. It also helps with regaining posture, improving mobility, and preparing your body to return to regular activities safely. We work closely with local Pelvic Health Physiotherapists to ensure you receive the best care.
-
Returning to running or high-impact exercise after childbirth should be approached cautiously. It’s recommended to wait a minimum of 12 weeks postpartum and to undergo a postnatal physiotherapy running assessment first. This assessment will evaluate your pelvic floor strength, core stability, and overall readiness to resume higher-intensity activities safely.
