Staying healthy during your pregnancy

At CSPC physiotherapy, we recognise that while pregnancy is an exciting time, it is also a time of great change within a woman’s body. You can read more about these changes here.

We are keen for pregnant women to enjoy their pregnancy as much as possible and recommend that you see a CSPC physiotherapist within the first 12 weeks of your pregnancy and then book in for regular checks, ideally once a month. Your physiotherapist will monitor changes to your body throughout your pregnancy, check the alignment of your pelvis and lumbar spine, prescribe exercises suitable for you at that point in your pregnancy and treat any other areas that may be causing you pain or discomfort.

After the birth, your physiotherapist will advise you on the correct exercises to do, that are at the right level for you, and will show you how to check you are doing your exercises correctly. This is important to ensure you regain abdominal muscle strength and function. Most women will develop a split between the two sides of the tendon in the middle of your rectus abdominis (the muscle down the front of your abdomen). This is normal and is called rectus diastasis. It is important to learn how to strengthen the abdominal muscles to correct this after the baby is born. You can read more about what abdominal separation is and our advice here.

Should you need to have a Caesarean section or an episiotomy, your physiotherapist can also advise you how to look after your scars in the best way, to help prevent adhesions occurring that can cause problems further down the line.

We look forward to helping you to enjoy your pregnancy and then getting you back to your best as a new mum.

PATIENT TESTIMONIALS
Over the years I have worked with a number of the physios at CSPC, I have found them to be up to date with their thinking and treatments, willing to share their knowledge with one and other and clients. I always recommend CSPC to friends and clients. They have helped hold body and soul together, thank you.

I am absolutely delighted with the shockwave treatment I have received at CSPC physiotherapy Clinic and the results it has produced. Each session has measurably reduced the size of my bursitis to the point it has almost gone, with corresponding improvement in my range of movement and comfort in the affected area. It has also ameliorated calcification in my shoulder. A great big thank you to Alison and Julianna for your help!

I cannot believe how well I feel. Four years ago, I felt consigned to the ‘rust pile’, today I feel ‘shiny’ and ready for the next challenge. CSPC can seriously alter your way of life …for the better.

Within the one hour appointment I received hands on treatment that relieved most of my pain and by the evening I was breathing and moving pain free. By the following morning I was back to ‘full dad duties’ much to the surprise of my partner, who with seeing how quickly I had recovered, started to think I’d made it all up to have a good rest!

After a long car journey to Leeds, I arrived with some discomfort in my upper back that worsened over the next day to the point that I could hardly breathe or move without feeling excruciating pain.

I’d done a gym session a week or so previously and had felt some discomfort in my back but rested and thought nothing of it. A long car journey combined with caring for two young children resulted in me having excruciating back pain and if it wasn’t for getting an emergency appointment at CSPC physiotherapy clinic I would not have made it home and probably checked myself into A&E!

Thanks CSPC physiotherapy for getting me back to my best – super quickly!
