COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT

Our experienced physiotherapists conduct a thorough assessment to understand the individual needs, concerns, and goals of pregnant women. This assessment includes evaluating posture, alignment, muscle imbalances, and any specific musculoskeletal issues related to pregnancy. Based on the assessment findings, we develop personalized treatment plans.

PAIN RELIEF AND MANAGEMENT

Pregnancy can bring about various physical discomforts, including back pain, pelvic pain, and joint pain. Our physiotherapists utilize a range of techniques to provide pain relief and manage discomfort. This may include manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and appropriate modalities to alleviate pain and improve overall comfort.

PELVIC FLOOR REHABILITATION

The pelvic floor muscles play a crucial role in supporting the pelvic organs and maintaining continence. During pregnancy, these muscles can become weakened or strained. Our program includes pelvic floor rehabilitation exercises to strengthen and restore the function of the pelvic floor muscles. This helps prevent or manage issues such as urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and perineal trauma.

POSTURE AND BODY MECHANICS

As the body undergoes significant changes during pregnancy, maintaining proper posture and body mechanics is important for reducing strain on the musculoskeletal system. Our program includes education and exercises to improve posture, enhance body awareness, and promote optimal alignment. This can help prevent or alleviate musculoskeletal issues commonly associated with pregnancy.

EXERCISE PRESCRIPTION

Regular physical activity during pregnancy has numerous benefits, including improved cardiovascular health, enhanced mood, and reduced pregnancy-related discomforts. Our physiotherapists provide safe and appropriate exercise prescriptions tailored to the individual’s needs and stage of pregnancy. These exercises may include gentle aerobic activities, strength training exercises, and stretching routines specifically designed for pregnant women.

PREPARATION FOR LABOR AND DELIVERY

Our program includes education and techniques to prepare women for labor and delivery. This may involve teaching breathing techniques, relaxation exercises, and positions that can facilitate a smoother labor process. By empowering women with these tools, we aim to enhance their confidence and overall experience during childbirth.

EDUCATION ON BODY CHANGES AND SELF-CARE

Pregnancy is a time of significant physical and hormonal changes. We provide education on these changes, helping women understand what to expect and how to manage them effectively. We also offer guidance on self-care strategies, including ergonomics, safe lifting techniques, and tips for maintaining comfort during daily activities.

POSTPARTUM RECOVERY SUPPORT

Our antenatal care physiotherapy program extends beyond pregnancy and includes postpartum recovery support. We provide guidance on exercises and techniques to aid in the recovery of the pelvic floor muscles, abdominal muscles, and overall musculoskeletal system. This helps women regain strength, restore function, and promote a smooth transition into motherhood.

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT

Pregnancy can bring about various emotional challenges. Our physiotherapists provide a supportive and compassionate environment, offering emotional support and guidance throughout the antenatal care physiotherapy program. We understand the importance of addressing the emotional well-being of pregnant women to promote overall health and happiness.

COLLABORATION WITH HEALTHCARE TEAM

We work collaboratively with the woman’s healthcare team, including obstetricians, midwives, and other relevant professionals, to ensure comprehensive care and optimal outcomes. Regular communication and coordination help us provide integrated and individualized care to meet the unique needs of each woman.
