Pre & Post Natal Rehabilitation
Your body is changing. You can see and feel many
changes on the outside; your shape, your energy
level and others. But there are many other changes
you cannot see. Hormonal and weight changes are
affecting your ligaments. Your growing baby will
stretch your pre-natal pelvic and abdominal muscles
and challenge them in the post-partum months.
Understanding your special needs during the childbearing
season will improve your overall health.
We are trained to restore movement and function.
Common disorders during the childbearing year
include backache, stiff joints and neurological
problems. A musculoskeletal evaluation is always
completed and your treatment program is personalized
with your physician to meet your individual needs.
Treatment often includes such things as modalities,
therapeutic exercise, soft tissue mobilization
, joint mobilization and patient education
Post-Cesarean Care
Following a cesarean birth women often benefit
from Abdominal muscle strengthening, Scar management
instruction, Flexibility training, Posture and
body mechanics education, neuromuscular therapy
and essentail oil treatments.
Prenatal Exercise
This is a unique program designed to help pregnant
women improve their comfort and develop body awareness.
Women are encouraged to enjoy their changing shape
and develop good posture and breathing habits.
In addition to strengthening the key muscles stressed
in childbearing.
Postpartum Strengthening
During the postpartum period women often need
postural re-education, assistance with strengthening
and care for their individual areas of pain and
concern. Strengthening often enables women to
better care for their child as well as care for
their individual areas of discomfort as a result
of childbearing.
