Pre-delivery physical therapy

During pregnancy, the body undergoes anatomical and hormonal changes that can cause discomfort.

Appropriate care not only relieves these symptoms, but also prepares the body for childbirth andoptimizes postnatal rehabilitation.

This is a specialty of physical therapy that focuses on the prenatal period. It concentrates on the perineum, abdominal muscles, posture, and breathing.

This therapy helps prevent certain disorders such as urinary incontinence, abdominal diastasis, lower back pain, and pelvic heaviness.

In addition, therapeutic exercise during pregnancy can limit the onset of certain conditions such as gestational diabetes orhigh blood pressure.

According to the latest scientific studies, the potential benefits of therapeutic exercise during pregnancy are:

Benefits for the mother

• During pregnancy: relief from back and pelvic pain, improved circulation, greater body awareness
• For childbirth: preparation of the perineum and breathing,
  learning pushing and relaxation techniques to facilitate labor.
• After childbirth: reducing the risk of postpartum complications.
• Benefits for the baby
• Reduced risk of prematurity
• Improved fetal motor development

Support is personalized and tailored to each stage:

1. Initial assessment: interview and examination to identify specific needs and define treatment objectives.
2. Treatment plan: individual sessions with targeted exercises, manual techniques, and other specific advice.
3. Follow-up: gradual adaptation of treatment according to the progress of the pregnancy.

The materials may vary depending on the patient's needs, but we mainly use: small equipment and teaching aids for therapeutic education.
