Pregnancy and Postnatal Physiotherapy in Indirapuram
Pregnancy and postnatal physiotherapy in Indirapuram for back and pelvic pain, safe antenatal exercise and post-delivery core recovery including diastasis recti.
What it is
Pregnancy physiotherapy manages back pain, pelvic girdle pain, sciatica, swelling and posture change through all three trimesters, with safe exercise prescribed for each stage.
Postnatal physiotherapy restores core and pelvic floor strength after normal delivery or caesarean section, including the assessment and management of diastasis recti.
Symptoms we see
- Lower back or pelvic pain that worsens as pregnancy progresses
- Pain over the pubic bone when walking or turning in bed
- Sciatica-type pain into the leg
- Swelling and heaviness in the legs
- Post-delivery abdominal separation or a soft, bulging tummy
- Back pain when lifting or feeding the baby
Common causes
- Ligament laxity from hormonal changes in pregnancy
- Shifting centre of gravity and increased lumbar curve
- Weak deep core and gluteal muscles
- Pelvic floor strain during delivery
- Caesarean scar restriction and abdominal weakness
- Sustained feeding and carrying postures
Our approach
- Assessment
- Stage-appropriate assessment of posture, pelvic and lumbar joints, core and pelvic floor function, and abdominal separation measurement after delivery. Any obstetric precautions are respected throughout.
- Treatment
- Manual therapy safe for pregnancy, pelvic support belt advice, safe antenatal exercise, breathing and pelvic floor work, and staged postnatal core rehabilitation.
- Home program
- A short daily routine matched to your trimester or postnatal week, plus positioning advice for sleeping, feeding and lifting the baby.
