Today, the 9th of September, marks the World Pregnancy DayThis is a date that highlights the importance of specialised care during pregnancy and the postpartum period. A Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in monitoring pregnant women, promoting well-being and preventing pelvic dysfunctions that can arise during this period.
Physiotherapists trained in Women's and Pelvic Health have the ability to educate, assess and treat dysfunctions that can affect women during pregnancy and after childbirth.
During pregnancy and the postpartum period, the most common conditions that can be monitored by physiotherapists include training women for the different stages of follow-up in high-risk pregnancies, teaching pain relief strategies, creating exercise programmes for a healthy pregnancy, and physical recovery after different types of birth. These interventions help not only to improve the pregnant woman's quality of life, but also to prevent future complications.
What's more, the Physiotherapy can work in situations such as urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and post-surgery recovery, promoting women's general well-being and quality of life.
