Sign up for pelvic floor physiotherapy with Get Right Physio, and our therapists will guide you through practical exercises to strengthen your muscles and alleviate the unpleasant side effects before and after pregnancy.

What Is the Pelvic Floor and How Is It Affected Pre- And Postpartum?

Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles between your pubic and tailbone that support the uterus, bladder, and bowel. Because of its positioning, it’s greatly impacted by pregnancy.

As your pregnancy progresses and your baby continues to grow, the increased pressure on your pelvic floor can lead to intense pain and discomfort. This is especially noticeable in women with a weak pelvic floor, as they typically experience a greater deal of pain and uncomfortable side effects like incontinence and pain during intercourse.

Many women also suffer due to weakened pelvic muscles after childbirth and are left with many of the same issues affecting women prepartum. In some cases, the likes of pain and urinary leakage are even more profound, as the muscles have been stretched significantly during delivery.

What's involved in Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Pre- And Postpartum?

During your pregnancy, most often in the second or third trimester, you may start to notice pain around your lower abdomen and difficulty controlling urinary and bowel movements. At this point, you’ll need to check in with your obstetrician or midwife, who will inform you whether you’ll need to consider starting physiotherapy. The same advice applies to women suffering these symptoms postpartum.

If physiotherapy is an option for you, you’ll first meet with one of your highly skilled therapists for a consultation. Throughout this first session, the therapist will evaluate the strength of your pelvic floor and your muscle’s ability to relax while also assessing additional issues like incontinence, pain during intercourse, and poor posture.

This will be done through a series of internal and external exams. Women attending postpartum will also discuss their birthing experience to help create a safe and individualized physiotherapy programme.

Physiotherapy can help avoid and overcome both pre- and postpartum pelvic floor issues by developing the strength of the muscle, increasing flexibility, and providing you with calming breathing techniques to loosen tense muscles.

Some of the central aims of pre- and postpartum physiotherapy for the pelvic floor include:

Improving muscle strength and tone
Minimizing pain and discomfort
Implementing effective breathwork
Enhancing the muscle’s flexibility and adjustability

Benefits of Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Pre- And Postpartum

Physiotherapy allows women to enjoy their pregnancy and postpartum period without feeling uncomfortable, self-conscious, and tormented by pain. Some of the other benefits of physiotherapy for your pelvic floor include the following:

Physiotherapy for your pelvic floor not only prevents and eases pain in this area but can also reduce pain in your back and abdomen, as specific exercises can have a wide-ranging impact.

A weakened pelvic floor can lead to a myriad of associated issues, including bowel and urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunction, and prolapse. As your muscles improve in capability, tone, and function, your risk of suffering from these disorders lessens significantly.

The breathing techniques you’ll learn during your physiotherapy sessions work to relax and soften your muscles. These exercises do more than help you physically as they also work to put your mind at ease and de-stress, which is more important than ever pre- and postpartum.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Often Should I See a Physiotherapist for a Pre- And Postpartum Session?

Many women begin prepartum physiotherapy for their pelvic floor during their second trimester. Starting at this time affords you the opportunity to build up the strength and tone of the muscles while the baby is still small and your pelvic floor isn’t under intense pressure.

Alternatively, some clients may prefer to start their sessions during their first or third trimester, as the right time for each woman can look different.

Once you’ve completed your first session in your house or condo, your physiotherapist will give you an indication of how many sessions are necessary. For many women, weekly appointments for around 6-8 weeks are sufficient, while others may need fewer or more periodic visits.

Can Prepartum Physiotherapy Help Alleviate Pregnancy-Related Discomforts?

Prepartum pelvic floor physiotherapy can assist with a wide range of discomforts and side effects related to pregnancy, including:

Pelvic pain
Low back pain
Poor posture
Impacted mobility
Bladder and bowel control

When Should I Start Postpartum Physiotherapy?

It’s recommended that women who are around six weeks postpartum attend a physiotherapy session to check for any repercussions resulting from childbirth, regardless of whether you’ve noticed symptoms.

If your therapist is happy with your recovery progress, you may not need to attend any additional sessions. However, women experiencing pain, incontinence, or any other symptoms will need to schedule follow-up visits for several weeks until such symptoms subside.

Are There Specific Exercises to Help Strengthen the Core Muscles Postpartum?

Your pelvic floor makes up part of your core muscles, which means that many of the exercises you’ll complete throughout your postpartum physiotherapy sessions will strengthen your core area overall. Examples of such exercises include:

Glute bridges
Kegel exercises
Squats
Lunges

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My mother had a great experience with Get Right Physio for 2 Years and like to share her thoughts with you...
"I had the pleasure of receiving physiotherapy services from Sajicca and I cannot praise her enough. She visited me twice a month, always  arriving with her mobile treatment bed, a warm smile and a genuine kindness. She massaged my leg with oil, taught me exercises patiently, and encouraged me every step of the way. Her professionalism, compassion and dedication made a huge difference in my recovery. She is truly caring young lady and I am grateful for her support.  During Sajicca's absence,   Betsy, an another young lady performed an excellent service as well. I highly recommend Get Right Physio services for anyone looking for a therapist who goes above and beyond."

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am very grateful to Zarana Dobariya
PT ,for all the care and support she has given me throughout my recovery. I had a complex pelvic fracture and was unable to walk when I started physiotherapy. With Zarana’s treatment, encouragement, and guidance, I have become much stronger and am now walking and moving so much better.

Zarana is very kind, knowledgeable, patient, and accommodating. She always listens to my concerns and makes me feel comfortable and supported during my sessions. I truly appreciate everything she has done to help me regain my strength and confidence. I would highly recommend Zarana to anyone looking for a caring and dedicated physiotherapist.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had an excellent in-home treatment experience with my physiotherapist Tarun. I had severe pain in my left knee which was the cause of scar tissue formation after my TKR. I had a knee scopy to remove the scar tissue. Tarun was very professional, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring throughout my in-home treatment. She took the time to understand my concerns, explained everything clearly, and tailored the treatment to my specific needs.

In a couple of weeks I started noticing improvements in my pain level, mobility and overall condition, and I always felt comfortable and well taken care of during my sessions. Her dedication and positive attitude made a big difference in my recovery.

I would highly recommend "Get Right Physio"  and Tarun to anyone looking for an experienced, compassionate, and effective physiotherapist. Thank you for all your help and support Tarun!

My Therapist Zeel is great, she was always on time, reviewed what we did the week before, and work on new exercises for the next week.  Zeel is  very respectful, and helpful and always remind you to practice the exercises you learn that week.  Looking forward to working with her again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a quad muscle injury and was unable to walk without excruciating pain.  This place was recommended by another physiotherapy clinic.  Get Right Physio sent a highly qualified young physiotherapist Jinal.  She was very
patient and knowledgeable.     I progressed daily and now I am able to walk again.  I cannot recommended this service enough.   They quickly responded to my needs and are very professional.
