Are you looking for advice on how to stay active during pregnancy, what exercises are safe to do or having trouble with pregnancy related symptoms like low back or pelvic pain? I’m here to help!
Pregnancy is an exciting time of your life, but can also sometimes feel a little bit overwhelming. There are a lot of changes going on in your body, you are after all growing a whole new person, and sometimes our bodies need a little bit of help on the way. During pregnancy we might get pains and aches we didn’t have before or it might be difficult to figure out exactly what exercises or activities to do to stay active. And staying active comes with a lot of benefits. Physical activity during pregnancy helps to control weight gain, improves fitness, sleep and general wellbeing. It can also reduce high blood pressure and the risk of pregnancy related diabetes. However sometimes these aches and pains like low back pain or general fatigue, nausea and all the other symptoms of pregnancy might make you feel like exercising is the last thing on your mind. Physiotherapy can help to manage these symptoms and find a way to stay active that works best for you. Book an appointment and we can figure it out together.
