Pre- and Postpartum Physical Therapy Care
Physical therapy care before and after childbirth supports women throughout their pregnancy and in the postpartum period. This program provides holistic support—physically, emotionally, and mentally—and helps reduce discomfort, promote well-being, and prepare women for childbirth and the postpartum period.
Prenatal exercise, also known as prenatal yoga or childbirth preparation, is a targeted exercise program for pregnant women. It strengthens the body, supports mental balance, and promotes optimal preparation for childbirth.
Benefits of prenatal exercise
• Strengthens muscles
• Improves flexibility
• Relieves pain
• Supports preparation for childbirth
• Promotes faster recovery after childbirth
Postpartum exercise helps the body recover and return to its pre-pregnancy state after childbirth. It promotes health, body awareness, and overall well-being.
Benefits of postpartum exercise
• Strengthens the muscles strained during pregnancy and childbirth
• Improves pelvic floor function
• Supports the body’s natural recovery process
• Has a positive effect on mood, stress management, and recovery
Pre- and postpartum physical therapy is provided on an individual basis. With a doctor’s prescription, the costs are covered by general health insurance.
