Are you experiencing a difficult pregnancy? Is pain keeping you from your daily routine? Are you worried about your delivery? It’s no secret that being pregnant isn’t easy. Many changes occur in the body during pregnancy, including postural adjustments, increased load on the pelvic floor, hormone increases, and ligament stretching and thickening.
Because of changes in their center of gravity, 50-70 percent of pregnant women experience chronic back pain (defined as pain that lasts more than 2-3 months) during their pregnancies. Muscle weakness can also cause incontinence and difficulty activating core muscles.
While many women simply tolerate these discomforts, prenatal and postnatal physical therapy can help alleviate them. Contact Beyond Physical Therapy today to learn more about how physical therapy can help you both before and after pregnancy!
How can I benefit from prenatal rehabilitation?
Many pregnant women experience a decrease in physical activity as a result of their overall discomfort, in addition to juggling their seemingly endless daily responsibilities of working hard and preparing for new life.
A lack of physical activity can make pregnancies more difficult and leave a mother’s body unprepared for the arduous birthing journey ahead.
Prenatal rehab can help your body cope with the stresses it is currently experiencing and better prepare it for birth. You can make pregnancy, birth, and recovery much easier if you participate in prenatal rehab.
