Post Partum
The post-partum period involves significant physical changes as the body recovers from pregnancy and childbirth. Some women experience symptoms such as pelvic discomfort, weakness, abdominal changes, back pain or difficulty returning to exercise.
Recovery is highly individual and there is no single timetable that suits everyone. Physiotherapy can help assess how your body is recovering and support a gradual, confident return to the activities that are important to you.
Common Symptoms
Post-partum concerns may include pelvic or back pain, pelvic floor symptoms, abdominal weakness, discomfort during movement and reduced confidence returning to exercise. Experiences vary considerably between individuals.
Possible Causes
Pregnancy, labour and delivery create significant physical demands and changes throughout the body. Recovery can vary depending on pregnancy, method of delivery, activity levels, previous symptoms and many other individual factors.
How Physiotherapy Can Help
Specialist physiotherapy can assess your recovery and provide an individual plan for rebuilding movement, pelvic floor function and strength. Rehabilitation can progress at a pace appropriate for your body and personal goals.
