Role of iphysiotherapy during and after pregnancy

Pregnancy and labour significantly affects a woman’s pelvic health, making a trained pelvic health physiotherapist an integral part of any woman’s prenatal and postpartum care team. Expectant mothers, and those immediately postpartum, can benefit from a pelvic floor health assessment for common conditions such as:

LOW BACK PAIN AND SCIATICA

Low back pain is commonly experienced during pregnancy and after giving birth. Changing hormone levels affects ligaments supporting lower back area causing weakness during pregnancy and for up to six months after birth. Abdominal and pelvic floor muscles stretch with the growth and birth of the baby, this affects their strength and reduces the support provided to lumbar region, Sacroilialc (SI) joints and can lead to pelvis injury and pain in the low back area which can radiate to legs.

About 40% of women experience urinary incontinence during pregnancy. This increases their risk for a long-term incontinence post-natal. Risk also increases with more difficult deliveries, such as the use of forceps and prolonged delivery.

Starting pelvic floor muscle training during pregnancy and immediately during post-partum period has been shown to reduce the risk of future urinary incontinence

ORGAN PROLAPSE

Organ prolapse is when pelvic organs such as bladder start to droop or descend into va**na. This can cause feeling of heaviness in abdomen, pelvis or va**na. As unpleasant as it sounds, many women are unaware that they may have a prolapse.

Back pain is a ‘musculoskeletal disorder’ (MSD) which also includes neck pain and repetitive strain injury (RSI), now known as Work Relevant Upper Limb Disorder (WRULD).

MSDs are a main cause of people being off sick from work. Physiotherapy is extremely effective with MSDs. In one study, 80 per cent of people who had physiotherapy for their MSD were able to carry on working and did not have to go off sick.

Back pain has a wide variety of causes, from picking up a heavy parcel incorrectly to spending too long in one position. Feeling very anxious or stressed can make your pain worse. It is rarely due to a serious health problem

Chronic pain
Physiotherapy helps people with long term (chronic) pain develop the skills they need to manage their condition, increase their activity and improve their quality of life.

How can physiotherapy help?

Physiotherapists often see patients with chronic pain on an individual basis. Your physiotherapist will assess you and work with you to agree a treatment plan. A specific manual treatment such as massage or soft tissue mobilisation may be appropriate, or perhaps acupuncture. However, treatment is more likely to include advice about movement, posture and finding ways of achieving your goals.

A physiotherapist can also identify practical ways to help, such as making sure you have the correct equipment or the right shoes. Physiotherapists also see patients at a pain management clinic, working as part a specialist team. This is more likely to be a group session.

It is important to have regular reviews with your physiotherapist and ask to see them if your condition changes.
