OBG PHYSIO
1.Pregnancy-related Discomfort:
- Pelvic Pain: OBG physios can help with pelvic girdle pain, symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD), and lower back pain during pregnancy.
- Posture and Alignment: Pregnancy can change a woman’s posture due to the shifting center of gravity. Physiotherapy helps improve posture, reduce pain, and prevent long-term issues.
- Abdominal and Core Strength: Strengthening the core and abdominal muscles can help alleviate discomfort and improve function throughout pregnancy.
2.Pelvic Floor Health:
- Pelvic Floor Strengthening: Exercises like Kegel exercises can help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which support organs such as the bladder, uterus, and rectum.
- Pelvic Floor Dysfunction: Conditions like incontinence (urinary or fecal) or prolapse can be managed with targeted pelvic floor rehabilitation. An OBG physio can guide you through exercises to restore proper muscle function.
- Pelvic Organ Prolapse: This occurs when the pelvic organs descend into the vaginal canal due to weakened pelvic floor muscles. Physiotherapy can provide strategies to manage or reduce symptoms.
3.Postpartum Recovery:
- Abdominal Muscle Separation (Diastasis Recti): Diastasis recti is the separation of the abdominal muscles that can occur during pregnancy. Physiotherapists help with exercises to close the gap and restore strength.
- Perineal Rehabilitation: After childbirth, especially after vaginal delivery, pelvic floor muscles can be weak or overstretched. OBG physiotherapists can help restore muscle strength and address issues like pelvic pain or incontinence.
- Postpartum Back Pain: Many women experience back pain after childbirth. OBG physiotherapy can provide exercises to strengthen the back and core muscles, as well as educate on proper posture and body mechanics.

5.Pre-conception and Fertility Support:
- Core Strength and Alignment: For women trying to conceive, physiotherapists can work on improving overall pelvic health and alignment, which may support fertility.
- Pelvic Health Education: OBG physios can provide education on the importance of pelvic health, posture, and movement, which can support reproductive health.
Common Techniques Used by OBG Physiotherapists:
