Physiotherapy During Pregnancy

Helping women through pregnancy with physiotherapy.

If you’re pregnant, no doubt you’ve begun to experience the plethora of feelings associated with hormone increase, weight gain, clothing changes and cravings. Yet for a lot of women, pregnancy is not an easy journey, and sometimes it requires the assessment and treatment of a physiotherapist.

You may be experiencing the below symptoms, which would best be attended to by a physiotherapist:

• Pelvic pain
• Lower back pain
• Weakness in your stomach and pelvic floor muscles
• Leakage of urine when sneezing, coughing, exercising
• Urgency or rushing to the toilet, with or without leaking
• Frequent urination
• Difficulty initiating urination
• Problems emptying the bladder completely (including after-dribble)
• Leakage of feces or wind
• Urgency or rushing to the toilet
• Constipation and/or difficult emptying

A professional assessment can identify the cause of these symptoms, and a physiotherapist can advise what treatment will be the most successful for your body and symptoms.
