Physiotherapy and activity classes for pregnant women

Pregnancy is a time of intense changes in a woman’s body, both hormonal and physical.

As the belly grows, the expectant mother’s center of gravity and posture change. The hips, knees, and spine also have to carry much greater loads. As a result, a woman may experience pain of varying intensity and location. Physiotherapy treatments can help relieve these symptoms.

Preparation for pregnancy and childbirth

Physiotherapy during the individual trimesters of pregnancy, especially when properly selected, can have a significant impact on a woman’s wellbeing, as well as on the quality of the birth itself.

Faster recovery

Physiotherapy during pregnancy is not only immediate support for current discomforts. A woman guided by a physiotherapist also has a greater chance of recovering faster after giving birth.

During pregnancy, well-chosen physical activity is very important because it:

  • prevents significant changes in body statics
  • helps prevent certain pregnancy-related conditions
  • prepares the body for the following weeks of pregnancy and for childbirth
  • increases fetal oxygenation
  • reduces the risk of complications during childbirth
  • minimizes stress, fear, and panic related to childbirth

Active mother during pregnancy

Is it worth it? Absolutely.

 

A physiotherapist can help:

  • prevent and reduce back pain, especially in the lumbar and cervical spine
  • strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, thereby reducing the risk of stress urinary incontinence in the future and improving sexual satisfaction during and after pregnancy
  • choose safe physical activity that improves circulation and increases oxygenation for both the pregnant woman and her baby
  • maintain body flexibility and help prevent stretch marks; in this case, the physiotherapist may also perform an anti-stretch mark massage
  • relax excessively tense areas, such as the calves
  • reduce limb swelling by improving blood and lymph circulation

At Garden Clinic, you can also enjoy a soothing tepidarium, swimming pool, and an exceptionally delicious restaurant.
