Prenatal and Postnatal Physiotherapy in Gurgaon
Postnatal Physiotherapy
After pregnancy, many women experience weakness in their pelvic floor muscles. These muscles are essential for bladder control, pelvic stability, and overall core strength. However, pregnancy and childbirth can significantly affect them.
To avoid long-term complications, it is important to begin pelvic floor exercises as early as possible after delivery. Additionally, new mothers often spend long hours holding their baby and performing repeated lifting activities. As a result, this can lead to body aches and postural issues.
Common postnatal problems include:
Stress and urge urinary incontinence
Pelvic and lower back pain
Upper back and neck pain
Diastasis recti (abdominal muscle separation)
Postnatal physiotherapy helps restore strength, reduce pain, and support a healthy recovery after childbirth.
During pregnancy, a woman’s body goes through many physical and hormonal changes in a short period of time. As the baby grows, posture, balance, and muscle strength are affected. Gradually, the increasing weight of the baby puts pressure on the abdomen and pelvic floor muscles.
Because of this added pressure, the pelvic floor muscles must remain strong to support the baby and prevent issues such as urine leakage. In addition, muscles, joints, and ligaments also change, which can lead to various musculoskeletal problems. Therefore, prenatal physiotherapy plays an important role in maintaining comfort and mobility during pregnancy.
Prenatal Physiotherapy
Some common conditions experienced during pregnancy include:
Pelvic girdle, hip, groin, or pubic pain
Lower back pain, sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain, or sciatica
Thoracic or rib pain
Pelvic floor weakness and urinary incontinence
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Since every pregnancy is different, Dr. Manoj Rajour designs a personalized prenatal physiotherapy program for each patient. Depending on individual needs, the treatment may include pelvic floor and core muscle strengthening, joint mobilization, massage therapy, flexibility exercises, and proper posture education.
