Pregnancy and childbirth are transformative experiences that put enormous strain on a woman’s body, affecting her physical and mental wellbeing. Our women’s health physical therapists are here to guide you through these changes.
Pregnancy means big changes for your body. For nine months, your body grows and changes to make room for a new life. This can cause aches and pains. Your back, hips, or legs may hurt. This is where our team can help. Our physiotherapists are like body mechanics. They understand the changes happening to your body. They can give you exercises to ease the pain and make your body strong for birth.
Childbirth is like running a marathon. It asks a lot from your body. After a marathon, you would rest and recover. Childbirth should be the same. Our physical therapists are experts in postnatal care. They can help your body recover faster. They can show you gentle exercises to help your body get strong again. They can also give you advice on how to lift and carry your baby to avoid hurting your back.
Our team can also help with other health issues that are common after birth. Many women have trouble with bladder control after having a baby. This is called incontinence. It can be embarrassing, but it is a common problem. Our therapists can show you exercises to help strengthen the muscles that control your bladder.
Mental wellbeing is just as important as physical health. Having a baby can make you feel many different emotions. You might feel happy one minute and sad the next. This is normal. But if these feelings are strong or last a long time, it can be a sign of postnatal depression. Our therapists understand this. They can provide support and help you find more help if you need it.
Exercise can also help with your mood. It can help you feel more positive and give you more energy. Our therapists can show you safe ways to exercise after having a baby. You might enjoy our mum and baby yoga classes. Or you might prefer to exercise at home. We can give you a home exercise plan to follow.
We understand every woman is different. You might have other health issues or concerns. Our team will listen to you. They will make a plan just for you, to help you feel your best.
Being a new mum is a big job. But you are not alone. Our women’s health physical therapists are here to help. We can guide you through the changes to your body, helping you to feel strong and healthy. We believe that taking care of mum means a happier, healthier baby. We would love to be part of your journey into motherhood.
