Pregnancy and motherhood bring remarkable changes to the body. While these changes are natural, they can sometimes lead to discomfort, pain, or reduced mobility. Pre and post-natal physiotherapy provides essential support for women during and after pregnancy, helping them move safely, manage pain, and prepare for or recover from childbirth. At Home Physio Group, we deliver compassionate, expert physiotherapy directly to your home, so you can focus on your health and your baby’s wellbeing.
The Role of Physiotherapy During Pregnancy
During pregnancy, the body undergoes significant shifts in posture, balance, and muscle strength. Hormonal changes can loosen ligaments and place additional strain on the back, pelvis, and hips. Physiotherapy helps manage these changes through safe, targeted exercises that promote stability, strength, and comfort. Our physiotherapists also teach breathing and relaxation techniques that support both physical health and mental wellbeing in preparation for labour.
Common Conditions Treated with Pre-Natal Physiotherapy
Pre-natal physiotherapy can help manage and prevent many common pregnancy-related issues, including:
- Lower back and pelvic pain
- Pelvic floor weakness or dysfunction
- Sciatica and nerve-related discomfort
- Swelling and poor circulation
- Postural strain and fatigue
By addressing these challenges early, physiotherapy helps you maintain mobility, improve sleep, and enjoy a more comfortable pregnancy.
Post-Natal Physiotherapy: Supporting Recovery After Birth
The post-natal period is a time of healing and adjustment. Whether you’ve had a natural delivery or a caesarean section, physiotherapy can help your body recover safely. Our therapists work with you to restore pelvic floor strength, improve abdominal tone, and reduce any discomfort caused by childbirth or feeding postures.
We also provide guidance on gradually returning to physical activity, ensuring that your recovery is smooth, safe, and sustainable.
