At Ashoka International Pain Management Centre, we offer specialized antenatal and postnatal physiotherapy services to support women through the physical changes of pregnancy and the recovery period after childbirth. Our experienced physiotherapists provide personalized care to ensure a healthy, pain-free journey from bump to baby and beyond.
Role of Physiotherapy in Antenatal and Postnatal Care
Physiotherapy plays a vital role in managing the musculoskeletal changes and physical discomforts associated with pregnancy and childbirth. It helps:
- Alleviate pregnancy-related pain and strain
- Prepare the body for labor and delivery
- Support faster recovery after childbirth
- Strengthen muscles weakened during pregnancy
- Improve posture, mobility, and core stability
Antenatal Physiotherapy/Exercises
Antenatal physiotherapy is designed to help pregnant women stay fit, reduce discomfort, and prepare their bodies for childbirth.
Common Antenatal Exercises
- Pelvic floor exercises (Kegels)
- Breathing and relaxation techniques
- Gentle stretching and mobility routines
- Postural correction exercises
- Core strengthening and stability workouts
Advantages of Antenatal Physiotherapy:
- Reduces back pain, pelvic pain, and leg cramps
- Prevents or manages gestational conditions like pelvic girdle pain
- Enhances circulation and reduces swelling
- Promotes better posture and body mechanics
- Prepares pelvic floor muscles for labor
- Improves energy levels and mental well-being
Postnatal Physiotherapy/Exercises
Postnatal physiotherapy focuses on restoring muscle strength and joint function after delivery, whether it was vaginal or cesarean.
Common Postnatal Exercises
- Pelvic floor strengthening
- Abdominal muscle toning (especially diastasis recti correction)
- Lower back and core stabilization
- Gentle mobility and strengthening exercises
- Postural retraining and ergonomic advice
Advantages of Postnatal Physiotherapy:
- Speeds up recovery and healing after childbirth
- Helps regain core strength and stability
- Prevents issues like urinary incontinence and prolapse
- Alleviates back pain and postural issues from breastfeeding and baby care
- Supports mental health and reduces fatigue
Importance of Pelvic Floor Exercises
The pelvic floor muscles support the uterus, bladder, and bowel. Pregnancy and childbirth can weaken these muscles, leading to problems like incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.
At Ashoka, we guide women through effective pelvic floor exercises (Kegels) to:
- Strengthen the pelvic muscles
- Prevent or manage urinary leakage
- Enhance sexual health and satisfaction
- Support overall pelvic stability
