HiI'm trying to book a physio appointment for tomorrow as I'm in agony with my back. I'm 15 weeks pregnant and I wanted to know, are all physios trained in antenatal physiotherapy? Or do you have to specifically have to ask? I can book a number of appointments for tomorrow but don't know whether I should.
Many thanks
Karla
Hi! I had lower back pains during my pregnancy too. I first went to a regular physio and have to admit, they weren't of much help at all. The exercises they gave me didn't address the pain. I then booked with a special pregnancy physio and she was amazing. She gave me exercises and recommended that my husband does a massage of the area when I am in discomfort. She also advised on how to support myself with pillows during the night (the pregnancy pillows on the market didn't do it for me). I did everything she said and it made a huge difference - I used her tips throughout the second and third trimesters. So my advice is, book a pregnancy physio, they are quite busy but worth the wait and extra effort. Good luck!
Ah this is very comforting to hear. Thank you!
Hi. Could your midwife suggest who specialises. Swimming is good too. Hope you soo find relief. Diane
Oh yes I've heard this about swimming. Thank you!
