Common pregnancy related conditions
PhysioD can help mothers deal with pre and postpartum conditions as their bodies experience the effects of pregnancy and childbirth. Very frequently the pregnancy related conditions, such as prolapse and diastasis recti, are left untreated for years. Fortunately, women can benefit from pelvic floor physiotherapy even years after their delivery.
Some of the most common pregnancy related conditions are:
- Urinary or fecal incontinence/urgency
- Inability to fully empty the bladder / Voiding dysfunction
- Pain during sex
- Pain and discomfort around the scar tissue
- Prolapse, or the sensation that the organs are “dropping”
- Diastasis recti and Core dysfunction
These conditions may seem worrisome at first, but the good news is that physiotherapy and pelvic floor treatments may relieve symptoms, treat a condition, and most importantly prevent it from happening or re-occuring in the future.
