Movement is an ally. A physiotherapist helps you weave physical health during and after pregnancy into an active, sustainable routine suited to you.
Pregnancy and the postpartum period change the body: back, pelvic floor, posture. Suitable support helps you stay active and recover gently.
What to know
- The pelvic floor can be gently retrained after birth, which supports recovery.
- Suitable, moderate activity is beneficial during a healthy pregnancy.
- Low back pain is common in pregnancy and is usually very manageable.
- Returning to exercise after birth should be gradual, at your own pace.
When to see a physiotherapist
A physiotherapist can help when pain persists for several weeks, worsens, limits your activities, or comes with weakness, numbness or loss of function. They assess the situation, rule out red flags and build a tailored plan. In Quebec, no medical referral is required, though your insurer may ask for one.
The advantage of in-home physiotherapy
In-home physiotherapy supports physical health during and after pregnancy where life actually happens. Instead of working in an unfamiliar clinic, the physiotherapist sees your real stairs, chair, bed and routine, then tailors each exercise to that environment. For pregnant and postpartum women, it removes travel, waiting and the stress of getting there.
