Many women present for Physiotherapy during pregnancy with pain and restricted function and movement. It is very easy to ignore aches during pregnancy and dismiss them as part of your condition. In reality there is much that can be done to prevent pains getting worse with a growing bump and of course, the postnatal period is not the time to be trying to resolve these aches. You will certainly have enough to do then! In these videos, we have put together some information on the common conditions in pregnancy that respond very well to physiotherapy. These conditions include:
Physiotherapy can be a great help during pregnancy as it relieves pain without the need for medication, it is non-invasive and is can be tailored to you and the stage of pregnancy you are at. Your Chartered Physiotherapist can safely treat many painful conditions and show you easy exercises to continue with during the pregnancy to keep those niggles at bay. The second video goes through some safe and easy pilates based exercises, that are specific for pregnancy, that can be done daily at home. Videos are courtesy of Ultrasound Dimensions
Jenny's BellyMore pilates exercises for pregnancy can be found on the Jenny’s Belly pregnancy series, developed for the Mooney Show in 2011, and available for free download to your smart phone.
