Pregnancy and childbirth are powerful experiences that bring joy, change, and new beginnings. But they also place significant physical and emotional demands on a woman’s body.
From back pain and pelvic discomfort during pregnancy to weakness, pain, and fatigue after delivery, recovery takes time and the right support.
At Anandi’s Physiotherapy, women’s health physiotherapy focuses on supporting mothers before and after childbirth with care, understanding, and personalised guidance.
Anandi’s Physiotherapy offers compassionate and structured Prenatal & Postnatal Rehab in Nagpur, helping women regain strength, comfort, and confidence at every stage of motherhood.
Understanding Prenatal & Postnatal Rehabilitation
Prenatal and postnatal rehabilitation is a specialised area of physiotherapy designed to support women during pregnancy and after childbirth. It focuses on managing pregnancy-related discomforts, preparing the body for delivery, and helping mothers recover safely after birth.
Pregnancy changes posture, balance, muscle strength, and joint stability. After delivery, muscles, especially the pelvic floor and core, need time and guidance to heal properly. Physiotherapy supports this recovery in a safe, gradual, and effective way.
At Anandi’s Physiotherapy, every woman’s journey is respected. Therapy is planned according to body changes, delivery type, comfort level, and personal recovery goals.
Why Prenatal Physiotherapy Matters During Pregnancy
As the baby grows, a woman’s body adapts constantly. Hormonal changes loosen ligaments, posture shifts forward, and added weight increases strain on the back and pelvis. These changes often lead to pain, imbalance, and fatigue.
Prenatal physiotherapy helps:
Physiotherapy during pregnancy is not about pushing the body; it is about supporting it gently and safely.
Common Physical Changes During Pregnancy
Pregnancy brings several changes that physiotherapy can help manage:
Back and Pelvic Pain
The growing abdomen shifts posture and increases pressure on the spine, leading to back pain and pelvic discomfort.
Pelvic Floor Stress
Hormones and increased weight place stress on pelvic floor muscles, which may cause heaviness or discomfort.
Joint and Muscle Imbalances
Softened ligaments and posture changes can lead to muscle imbalance and joint strain.
Fatigue and Reduced Endurance
Physiotherapy helps maintain energy levels and mobility through safe movement and breathing techniques.
Postnatal Phase: Healing and Recovery
A woman’s body needs time to repair itself after the birth of her child by normal delivery or Caesarean section. Women will usually suffer from pain, weakness, and stiffness due to the adjustments in their daily lives, as well as emotional stress as they adapt to their responsibilities as new moms.
Below are some common concerns that most new moms will have.
Postnatal Physiotherapy is a type of physiotherapy to help with the healing of new moms and their confidence in their physical ability.
Postnatal Physiotherapy can help with the following
Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles: By doing targeted pelvic floor exercises, women can restore muscle control of their pelvic floor and lower the risk of incontinence and/or prolapse.
Rehabilitation of core muscles: Women can use gentle postnatal core exercises to safely close diastasis recti and rebuild core muscle strength.
Pain Relief: Postnatal physiotherapy helps to relieve back pain, neck pain, hip pain, and joint pain from pregnancy and postural issues from taking care of your baby.
C-section Recovery: Following a C-section, women are given special treatment to protect the surgical site while gradually restoring movement and strength.
Building Emotional Confidence: Once physical comfort improves through physiotherapy, the mother’s emotional confidence will also improve.
