  Physiotherapy should be given extra consideration throughout pregnancy. This helps to ease any pain or discomfort during and after pregnancy, as well as before. Lower back discomfort is common in pregnant women, and it can make it difficult for them to obtain a good night's sleep and carry out daily duties. Using stability exercises that target the muscles around your spine, physiotherapy is a useful technique to treat any lower back aches and pains. Physiotherapists can assist both pregnant and non-pregnant ladies in managing and alleviating their back discomfort. The most crucial treatment we can provide to women before, during, and after pregnancy is likely pelvic floor therapy. The muscles in the base of the abdomen that connect to the pelvis and support a woman's uterus, bladder, and bowel movements are the main target of this kind of physiotherapy. Prenatal pelvic floor physiotherapy can minimize pelvic injury and help your body get ready for labor. In order to strengthen your possibly stretched, strained, and frequently torn pelvic muscles, postnatal therapy is also essential. Pelvic floor therapy can help avoid lower back discomfort and urine incontinence both before and after delivery. Physiotherapy is often a fantastic and safe way for expectant mothers to maintain their level of activity, which is crucial for a simpler delivery.
