The Benefits of Prenatal and Postnatal Physiotherapy

Are you struggling with back pain or discomfort during pregnancy? Or are you finding it difficult to recover your strength after childbirth? Many women face these challenges, but the
good news is that prenatal and postnatal physiotherapy can help you stay strong, relieve pain, and recover faster. At Lotus Multi Speciality Hospital, we offer specialized
physiotherapy services designed to support women through every stage of pregnancy and postpartum recovery.

What Is Prenatal and Postnatal Physiotherapy?

Prenatal and postnatal physiotherapy focuses on addressing the physical changes and challenges that occur during and after pregnancy. During pregnancy, your body undergoes
significant changes, including hormonal shifts, weight gain, and added pressure on your back, hips, and pelvis. After childbirth, your body needs time and proper care to heal and regain
strength.

Physiotherapy is a safe and effective way to relieve discomfort, improve mobility, and prepare your body for the demands of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum recovery.

Benefits of Prenatal Physiotherapy

During pregnancy, many women experience back pain, pelvic pain, swelling, and muscle weakness. Here’s how physiotherapy for back pain during pregnancy and other related
issues can help:

1. Pain Relief: Gentle exercises and stretches target back pain, pelvic discomfort, and joint stiffness, helping you move more comfortably.
2. Improved Posture: Physiotherapy focuses on correcting posture to reduce strain on your back and pelvis.
3. Strength and Flexibility: Strengthening key muscles helps you better support your growing belly and prepare for labor.
4. Stress Relief: Relaxation techniques included in physiotherapy can reduce stress and promote better sleep.

Benefits of Postnatal Physiotherapy

After childbirth, it’s common to experience weakness, fatigue, or issues like diastasis recti (abseparation). Postnatal physiotherapy focuses on helping you recover and regain strength:

1. Core Strengthening: Gentle exercises rebuild strength in your abdominal muscles, improving stability and reducing the risk of injury.
2. Pelvic Floor Recovery: Postnatal physiotherapy helps restore pelvic floor function, which can be affected by childbirth.
3. Back Pain Relief: Many new mothers experience back pain from breastfeeding or lifting their baby. Physiotherapy addresses these discomforts effectively.
4. Better Mobility: With tailored exercises, you can regain full mobility and return to your daily activities with ease.
