Expecting a baby can be incredibly exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming when you're unsure of what to expect. Pelvic floor physiotherapy helps prepare you for pregnancy and labor by strengthening and increasing the flexibility of pelvic floor muscles, reduces pregnancy-related discomfort, such as back and pelvic pain, and promotes optimal baby positioning. Learning proper breathing and pushing techniques helps you towards an effective labor and minimizes tearing. Strengthening the pelvic floor also prevents issues like urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse, and facilitates quicker postpartum recovery, making it a valuable practice during pregnancy.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy plays a vital role in postpartum recovery by helping women restore strength and function to the pelvic floor muscles after childbirth., which helps to improve issues, such as urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse. Physiotherapy also helps improve core strength, posture, and sexual function to supports a smoother recovery and better long-term pelvic health.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy helps with prolapse by improving the muscle tone and function of the pelvic floor muscles, which support the pelvic organs (bladder, uterus, and bowel). It works to reduce the severity of prolapse symptoms, such as heaviness, discomfort, and pressure in the pelvic area, and teaches proper breathing and movement techniques to reduce strain on the pelvic floor. Additionally, physiotherapists provide personalized exercises to help manage or even reverse mild to moderate cases of pelvic organ prolapse, improving overall pelvic health and function.
