Seminar for women: Comprehensive care of the female body during pregnancy and after childbirth from the perspective of physiotherapy

The female body undergoes many changes during pregnancy, which, among other things, also fundamentally affect the musculoskeletal system. These changes, although physiological, can cause various painful conditions, such as pain in the lumbar spine and SI joints, pain in the pubic symphysis, feet, knees or hips, and can also cause breathing difficulties or digestive problems. Likewise, the postpartum period has its own specifics, when new mothers encounter, for example, postpartum diastasis, incontinence or various pains in the pelvic area. 

During both of these periods, we are able to prevent or resolve many pains through targeted and sensitive physiotherapy care, proper physical activity, and dietary measures, helping expectant mothers to experience these periods as calmly and pain-free as possible. 

At Spinezio, we approach gynecological physiotherapy sensitively and empathetically, and it gives us great joy to be able to help women go through pregnancy and the postpartum period without musculoskeletal pain. That is why we have prepared a one-day seminar for you on comprehensive body care during pregnancy and after childbirth from the perspective of physiotherapy.
