Pre/Post-Natal Therapy & Rehabilitation To Optimise Strength, Function & Good Health
G4 provides a bespoke pre/post-natal therapy & rehabilitation service which is a specialist assessment recommended for all women following child delivery. We recommended that pre/post-natal women attend our Didsbury clinic for an assessment at around the 6-week stage after child birth. However, the service is also very useful and highly recommended for all pre/post-natal women even those who delivered months or years ago.
Some of our female therapists provide an assessment to look at posture, breathing, abdominal muscle control and pelvic floor function. The aim of the assessment and subsequent intervention will assist clients in returning to full function and prevent any long-term health complaints related to childbirth.
The assessments are very in-depth and will cover all issues related to pregnancy and childbirth. Clients may have no symptoms in the first few weeks after childbirth but others may develop symptoms such as incontinence, back pain, abdominal weakness, prolapse and pain with intercourse. The assessment will identify all common problem areas and will allow our team to guide clients through a rehabilitation program designed to restore good health and normal core function.
Some of the main areas of the assessment that we deem appropriate in pre/post-natal women are outlined below along with the importance of providing effective after-care following delivery:
The overall assessment is designed to identify problem areas that clients may need to work on in order to restore and regain normal function and activity. Following the assessment and discussion of the findings, an effective plan of action will be advised involving an educational and rehabilitation programme.
