The Effects of Physical Therapy on Women's Health
Physical Therapy & Pregancy
Physical Therapy is vital for wellness in perinatal care. Throughout pregnancy and even postpartum, it can be difficult to use the abdominal muscles effectively to stabilize the pelvis and trunk. This can cause long-standing back or pelvic pain, diastasis recti, and difficulties reengaging your pelvic floor muscles. The good news is you can start abdominal muscle training exercises even while pregnant.
Effects
During pregnancy, hormones ensure that al the ligaments in and around the joint become looser to allow the pelvic region to be flexible during delivery for your baby. However, this can cause your pelvic to be out of balance and cause pain. This is where physical therapy and 2empowerPT comes in to address these changes and support women in maximizing physical potential and living a life without pain and limitations.
