Pregnancy is a wonderful time, but it can be uncomfortable. Many women, particularly first-time mums, are full of big questions. Can I still play sport? What can I do about headaches and joint pain? How do I fix my posture? What about pelvic floor exercises?
Don’t worry, our physios have seen it all before. We’ll look after your body, help you navigate each trimester, and speed up that tricky post-natal recovery. Our Pregnancy Guidelines are a great place to start to see how we support you through each part of your pregnancy journey.
BOOK AN APPOINTMENT
In the first trimester, it’s all about preparing your body for pregnancy. We’ll sit down and look at your posture and overall fitness, do a pelvic floor assessment with ultrasound, and walk you through Sports Medicine Australia’s Exercise in Pregnancy Guidelines. We can also create a plan for how you may approach exercise as your belly grows.
The second trimester is where some mums start to feel pain or discomfort, or for others it’s where they thrive. We are on hand for classes to keep you moving, hands-on pregnancy massage, or clinical treatment for pelvic and back pain. This is the time when we’re really here to support you in any way you might need.
You’re nearly there! In the third trimester, mums are less concerned with overall fitness – it’s more about pain relief, sleep advice and targeting problem areas. We can also help fit you for SRC Recovery Shorts. We’ll help you with any niggles and keep you going to the end, while giving you tips, tricks and resources to prepare for labour.
While it’s important to stay on top of things during pregnancy, the pathway you choose after your baby is born will shape the way your body functions in the future. Get advice on DRAM (abdominal separation), pelvic floor, breast- feeding positions and the all important question – how quickly to get back to traditional exercise.
It’s a little different for everyone depending on your body type, method of delivery and other factors from your birth so we will help create a bespoke recovery plan for you.
