Perinatal Physiotherapy

Pelvic floor physiotherapy during pregnancy is invaluable for supporting women's health and well-being through this transformative journey. As the body undergoes significant changes to accommodate the growing baby, the pelvic floor muscles play a crucial role in providing support to the uterus, bladder, and bowel. Pelvic floor physiotherapy offers numerous benefits, including strengthening these muscles to prevent issues such as urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and pelvic pain. Additionally, specialized exercises and techniques can prepare the pelvic floor for labour and delivery, facilitating a smoother childbirth experience and aiding in postpartum recovery. By addressing pelvic floor health during pregnancy, you can enhance your overall comfort, maintain optimal pelvic function, and promote a smoother transition into motherhood.
