Frequently Asked Questions
What is women's health physiotherapy and who can benefit from it?
Women's health physiotherapy is an area of physiotherapy that focuses on the unique health issues women face throughout their lives. This includes conditions related to pregnancy and postpartum recovery, pelvic floor dysfunction, urinary incontinence, pelvic pain and menopause. Women of all ages can benefit from women's health physiotherapy, whether they are experiencing pregnancy-related discomfort, recovering from childbirth or managing symptoms of menopause. The goal is to improve physical health, manage symptoms and enhance the overall quality of life.
How can women's health physiotherapy help during pregnancy?
During pregnancy, a woman's body undergoes significant changes that can lead to discomfort and pain. Women's health physiotherapy can help manage these symptoms by providing targeted exercises and treatments that support the body through these changes. Physiotherapists can offer guidance on proper posture, safe exercise routines and techniques to reduce back pain, pelvic pain and swelling. They can also help prepare the pelvic floor muscles for childbirth, which can facilitate a smoother delivery and quicker postpartum recovery.
How does women's health physiotherapy support postpartum recovery?
Postpartum recovery can be challenging as the body heals from childbirth and adapts to caring for a newborn. Women's health physiotherapy supports this recovery by providing exercises and treatments designed to restore strength, flexibility and function. Physiotherapists can help with issues such as diastasis recti (separation of the abdominal muscles), pelvic floor weakness, back pain and overall muscle recovery. They also offer advice on safe postnatal exercise and how to manage physical demands like lifting and carrying a baby.
Is women's health physiotherapy helpful during menopause?
Yes, women's health physiotherapy can be very beneficial during menopause. This phase of life often brings changes that can affect physical health, including pelvic floor dysfunction, joint pain and decreased bone density. Physiotherapists can provide tailored exercise programs to strengthen muscles and improve bone health, as well as techniques to manage pelvic floor issues and other symptoms. They also offer education on maintaining an active lifestyle and making dietary changes to support overall health during menopause.
