Harley Street Physiotherapy for Pregnancy

Discomfort during pregnancy

At Mike Squirrell Physiotherapy we appreciate the demands of working mothers in London while pregnant or with a newborn. Physiotherapy in pregnancy is an essential part of your pre and post-natal care for mothers and their new baby. A large percentage of pregnant women experience back discomfort due to the added pressure from the growing baby on their spinal nerves.

How can Physiotherapy help me during pregnancy?

A large percentage of pregnant women experience back discomfort due to the added pressure from the growing baby on their spinal nerves. When the spinal nerves become pressured then many types of pain may occur - the most common complaint at our clinic being sciatic leg pain. Pre-existing unnoticed imbalances in your spine and pelvis become overtaxed when pregnant and these added stresses lead to discomfort and difficulty while performing routine daily activities.

At Mike Squirrell Physiotherapy, we accurately diagnose and treat all pregnancy associated pain:

• Sciatica
• Back Pain
• Sacro-iliac joint pain
• Hip pain
• Neck pain

Physiotherapy care throughout pregnancy can relieve and even prevent the common discomforts experienced in pregnancy.

 

How can Physiotherapy help my baby during pregnancy?

When the lumbar spine and the pelvis of the mother is in a state of alignment, the ligaments connected to the uterus maintain a balanced supportive suspension for the uterus. When the mother’s pelvis is out of balance the ligaments can become twisted causing uterine constraint syndrome. This constraint limits the free space the developing baby has and limits his or her optimal growth and development. If the mother's uterus is constrained close to term, the baby can also prevented from getting into the best possible position for birth. Any position slightly off during birth will slow down labour and add pain to both the mother and baby. At Mike Squirrell Physiotherapy we work specifically on your pelvis and lumbar spine during pregnancy to restore and maintain a state of balance and facilitate the best environment for an easy, safe delivery for your child.
