FORRM oatlands // pregnancy & postpartum
planning to get pregnant? recovering from your recent child birth?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period bring significant physical changes, often resulting in discomfort, pain, and reduced mobility. At FORRM Strength and Recovery, we specialise in Physiotherapy and Exercise Physiology for women during pregnancy and after childbirth.
Our goal is to support you through every stage, helping you stay strong, manage pain, and recover effectively. Located in Oatlands, NSW, our clinic offers tailored solutions to meet the unique needs of pregnant and postpartum women.
Common Pain Points during pregnancy and postpartum.
Lower Back and Pelvic Pain: As your body changes during pregnancy, added weight and shifting posture can put strain on your lower back and pelvis, causing persistent discomfort or sharp pain. This is a common issue for many women, both during pregnancy and postpartum.
Pelvic Floor Weakness: During and after pregnancy, the pelvic floor muscles can weaken, leading to issues such as incontinence or a feeling of heaviness in the pelvic region. Pelvic floor dysfunction can also affect recovery after childbirth.
Abdominal Separation (Diastasis Recti): Many women experience separation of the abdominal muscles during pregnancy, which can lead to core weakness and affect posture and overall strength. This condition can also contribute to back pain if left untreated.
Posture and Body Alignment Issues: The physical changes of pregnancy, including weight gain and a growing belly, often lead to poor posture and muscle imbalances. These can cause discomfort and increase the risk of injury, both during pregnancy and after giving birth.
