Preparing for Birth: How Pelvic Physio Can Help Reduce Labor Complications

Many people think pelvic physio is only for fixing problems after they happen. But did you know that seeing a pelvic physiotherapist during pregnancy can actually help you have a smoother delivery?

It’s Not Just About Strengthening A common misconception is that a "tight" pelvic floor is a "strong" one. For birth, your muscles actually need to be flexible and able to yield (stretch) to allow the baby to pass. If muscles are too tight, it can prolong labor or increase the risk of tearing.

Our Birth Prep Program Includes:

• Perineal Massage: Techniques to improve tissue elasticity.

• Birthing Positions: Finding the best positions for your specific pelvic alignment to open the birth canal.

• Pushing Strategies: Learning how to push effectively without straining your breath or pelvic floor.

Empower yourself with knowledge. Book a prenatal assessment at Milton Physio Plus and walk into your delivery room feeling prepared and confident.
