Postnatal Pain Relief

Physiotherapy for Postnatal Pain Relief

The postnatal period begins immediately after childbirth and is typically divided into three phases: the acute phase (lasting 24 hours post-delivery), the sub-acute phase (2-6 weeks post-delivery), and the late phase (6 weeks to 6 months post-delivery). During these phases, new mothers may experience pelvic pain, weakened pelvic floor muscles, pelvic floor neuropathy, and increased ligament elasticity.

How Physiotherapy Can Help
Physiotherapy can alleviate these symptoms through a combination of manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and pelvic floor muscle training.
