How Can Pre Natal / Ante Natal Physiotherapy Help You?

Pregnancy changes our bodies in many wonderful and sometimes unexpected ways.

Common Pregnancy Related Conditions

  • Hip or pelvic pain caused by misaligned pelvic joint 
  • Diastasis recti or abdominal separation 
  • Poor core strength
  • Loss of mobility & flexibility
Pregnancy Assessment Services

Pelvis assessment: To identify any pelvic or sacroiliac joint misalignment

Postural and mobility assessment: To determine asymmetries related to the growth of the baby and extra weight gain 

Diastasis recti or abdominal separation assessment: To identify if there is separation of the abdominal muscles during the growth of the baby and the severity of it.

Core strength assessment: To determine the condition of the core muscles- Transverse Abdominus and pelvic floor muscles, as they are essential for preventing low back pain and sacroiliac dysfunction, which commonly cause pain during pregnancy. Additionally, good pelvic floor muscle health is also vital for preventing incontinence both during and after childbirth.
