Are You Expecting? Prepare For Your New Baby with Pre-Partum (Prenatal)Rehab!
Are you expecting a child right now? Are you planning on becoming pregnant? Pregnancy is a joyful time for many women, but the body is going through a lot of changes as it grows an infant! Pregnant women experience changes in posture, higher amounts of pelvic floor stress, soft tissue stretching and thickening.
These changes in the body can also create back discomfort and pelvic floor problems, as well as muscular weakness, which can lead to urinary incontinence, voiding dysfunctions, and difficulty activating the core muscles.
Pregnancy is a normal part of life; nevertheless, pelvic floor physiotherapy may make it considerably more comfortable.
Our objective at our Toronto, ON physiotherapy clinic is to prepare your body for the trip ahead so that you can focus on preparing to welcome your new baby into this world.

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.
