Introduction
Pregnancy is a beautiful yet physically demanding journey. Along with regular consultations with your gynecologist, incorporating physiotherapy can greatly enhance your overall well-being during pregnancy. Under the expert care of Dr. Rashmi Pote, one of the leading gynecologists in Pune, expecting mothers at our center are encouraged to embrace holistic prenatal care that includes guided physiotherapy.
Why Physiotherapy During Pregnancy?
Pregnancy brings about significant changes in a woman’s body—posture shifts, weight gain, and loosening of ligaments can lead to discomfort or pain. Physiotherapy helps in:
- Improving posture
- Reducing back and pelvic pain
- Enhancing joint flexibility
- Strengthening pelvic floor muscles
- Improving breathing techniques for labor
Key Benefits of Pregnancy Physiotherapy
- Reduces Pain & Discomfort
Targeted exercises relieve common pregnancy issues like back pain, neck stiffness, and swollen joints.
- Prepares the Body for Labor
Physiotherapy strengthens your core and pelvic muscles, making labor more manageable.
- Promotes Better Sleep
Regular movement and guided relaxation techniques can significantly improve sleep quality during pregnancy.
- Faster Postpartum Recovery
Stronger muscles and joints before delivery lead to quicker recovery after childbirth.
- Manages Gestational Conditions
Safe physical activity can help manage gestational diabetes and control weight gain.
When Should You Start?
With your gynecologist’s approval, physiotherapy can start as early as the second trimester. Dr. Rashmi Pote offers personalized guidance based on your medical history, trimester, and physical condition.
