How can OBG rehabilitation help with the pelvic floor?

The pelvic floor is a complex structure that supports the pelvic organs and forms the birth canal and passages for urine and stool. Pelvic floor muscles need to be able to contract and relax to allow for urination, bowel movements, childbirth, and sexual intercourse.

Problems with pelvic floor muscles occur when they become too weak or too tight. But there are exercises that strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and reverse the symptoms in 80% of women.

How can OBG rehabilitation help during pregnancy?

Pelvic girdle pain and stress urinary incontinence are common among pregnant women. These symptoms usually occur due to hormonal changes and the increasing weight of the baby and uterus.

Antenatal Care

During antenatal care, the health professional does the screening of the pregnant woman for early identification of any condition and treatment, enhances relaxation, prepares for the natal and postnatal program, and provides education on personal hygiene and the birthing process.

Antenatal classes are conducted to prepare you for birth and give you confidence and information about childbirth. The key points included in the class are:

Backcare during pregnancy
Breathing exercises
Discussion on stages of labor, signs of labor, types of deliveries, pain coping strategies during labor, postnatal bag, breastfeeding techniques, positions, breast care, and hygiene
Core stabilization exercises
Squat
Pelvic tilts
Stretching exercises
Relaxation techniques during pregnancy

Postnatal Care
The immediate weeks after the birth of the baby is an important time for the body of the mother. The body undergoes many changes during pregnancy and continues to change postnatally.
Childbirth can result in pelvic floor trauma, perineal tears, and pudendal nerve injury (the nerve which supplies the bladder and pelvic floor).

Postnatal care is given to the mother and to the newborn immediately after birth and for the first six weeks after pregnancy.
The physiotherapist will help you with:

Exercises and relaxation program
Restoration of muscle strength and tone
Treatment of musculoskeletal problems
Advice on toileting and positional modifications
Treatment of low back, hip, or pelvic pain
Breast care for breast engorgement, mastitis, cracked nipples, and tenderness

Physiotherapists also help with advice on return to exercise and healing of separated abdominal muscles (Diastasis Recti).

What can I expect at my first OBG Rehabilitation appointment?

The assessment and treatment depend upon the present condition of the woman. The physiotherapist will take a confidential and detailed history. Though it is difficult to discuss sensitive issues, understanding the onset of the symptoms and how your daily life is affected is important in directing the treatment.

The obstetrics physiotherapist will examine your abdominal muscles, pelvis, and lumbar spine and then you may be offered an internal examination to identify the tone, strength, and control of your pelvic floor muscles.
