Maternity Physiotherapy

Maternal physiotherapy during pregnancy, for example, in the following situations:

• You want to know what kind of exercise is safe to do throughout pregnancy
• You suffer from musculoskeletal pain (such as back, neck or pelvic pain)
• You want to prevent painful conditions in your body through physiotherapy
• You suffer from pelvic floor disorders (eg urinary incontinence) or want to exercise your pelvic floor muscles proactively

You can apply to the maternity physiotherapist after childbirth in the following situations, for example:

• You want to know how you are recovering from your pregnancy and childbirth (physiotherapeutic follow-up)
• You suspect you are having abdominal separation or you are experiencing stomach bloating
• Your back gets fatiqued or sore easily. You also find it more difficult to maintain your posture as easily as you did before your pregnancy
• You find it more difficult to perceive your own body perception and especially the control of the middle body area than before pregnancy
• You feel pressure in the pelvic floor area or you suffer from some pelvic dysfunction (e.g. urinary incontinence)
• You experience pain or tension in the neck-shoulder area or chest area
• You want to return to heavier physical activity safely after childbirth

Reasons for visiting a physiotherapist may include, for example:

• Musculoskeletal disorders such as back, hip and neck-shoulder area pain
• Joint pain or movement restrictions, e.g. shoulder pain or stiffness
• Muscle pain or tension in the body
• Rehabilitation or prevention of strain injuries

Physiotherapy treatments include therapeutic training, manual therapy and guidance that promotes health and functional capacity. In addition to treating the symptoms, physiotherapy seeks to find out the underlying causes of the ailment, so that the prolongation and recurrence of the ailment can be prevented more effectively.
