Newcastle Village Physiotherapy is proudly associated with the best Pelvic Health Clinic in our region (if not our Province). We consider ourselves very lucky to be able to offer the professional services of the Durham Pelvic Health Specialists. These Specialists in Pelvic rehabilitation uses a variety of techniques such as massage therapy and pelvic floor therapy to help prepare you during pregnancy and the post partum period.
During pregnancy, the body undergoes many changes such as postural adjustments, increased pressure on the pelvic floor, stretching of ligaments such as the round ligament, and pelvic girdle changes. These changes can cause pelvic girdle pain, muscle weakness in the pelvic floor and core which can lead to urinary incontinence or pelvic girdle pain.
We provide a program to help you prepare for each trimester and for the delivery. If you are expecting or have given birth, please contact Newcastle Village Physiotherapy and book today!
We strongly advise new moms to book in post partum to help with any scars you may have in the perineum or c-section scar. Scars can cause restrictions which can lead to pain later on. We use techniques that target the myofascial system to prevent that from happening.
Diastasis recti, also known as abdominal separation can occur during pregnancy as the baby grows and is known as abdominal separation. With proper evaluation, an exercise program can be developed to strengthen the core muscles and improve tension in the muscles around the abdomen to decrease the “mom pooch”.
The physiotherapy approach at Durham Pelvic Health always involves a comprehensive physical assessment by the most experienced team of Physiotherapists in the Durham and Clarington area.
Once assessed an individualized plan will be created just for you. Together we will work as a team to treat the source of the impairment. Re-strengthening and restoring the natural balance of the body are essential to a full and safe recovery.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have or to book an appointment today.
