Pre- and Postpartum Rehabilitation

Pre- and Postpartum Rehabilitation refers to specialized physical therapy and rehabilitation programs designed to support women during pregnancy (prenatal rehabilitation) and after childbirth (postpartum rehabilitation). These programs focus on maintaining and restoring strength, mobility, and overall well-being while addressing common pregnancy-related musculoskeletal issues.

Prepartum (Prenatal) Rehabilitation

This phase focuses on preparing the body for childbirth by:

• Strengthening core and pelvic floor muscles

• Improving posture and spinal alignment

• Managing pregnancy-related pain (e.g., back pain, pelvic girdle pain)

• Enhancing flexibility and endurance for labor

• Addressing conditions like diastasis recti (abdominal separation)

Postpartum Rehabilitation

This phase helps new mothers recover and regain strength after childbirth by:

• Restoring core and pelvic floor function

• Treating postpartum conditions like diastasis recti or pelvic organ prolapse

• Addressing back, hip, and joint pain

• Improving posture and realigning the body

• Enhancing overall strength and mobility for daily activities
