Postnatal Physiotherapy
After your baby is born, it is recommended that you seek advice from the physiotherapist if:
- Your baby was larger than 4kg or had a head circumference of 36cm or more
- Your baby was born with the assistance of either forceps or vacuum
- You had a third or fourth degree tear
- You feel a dragging or heavy feeling around the vagina
- You still have pain and/or swelling at or around your stitches site
- You have painful and/or swollen haemorrhoids
- You experience loss of bladder or bowel control or sensation
- You have back or pelvic pain
- You have mastitis
- You have a gap of more than 2 fingers width between your abdominal muscles
- You would like to return to high impact sport
The physical changes from pregnancy to your abdominal muscles and pelvic floor occur over the 9 months of pregnancy and during the birth, and research is showing that your postnatal recovery is still occurring between 6 – 12 months after birth, or longer. This will depend also on how well you have been able to do your postnatal exercises during this time.
This means that you can benefit from postnatal physiotherapy 1 year, 2 years, 5 or more years after pregnancy and birth if your abdominals are still weakened and stretched, or you have any pelvic floor issues.
