The use of Pregnancy Belts during pregnancy helps to relieve pregnancy discomforts. Ideally belts are adjustable and of high quality. Among other benefits the belts provide support to the lower back and pelvis, it reduces the pressure sensation on the lower abdomen, reduces physical fatigue and also swelling.
As a physio who has recently had a baby myself and been working hand in hand with prenatal/ postnatal mothers, I am frequently asked about my opinion on support bands. After having a baby myself, I say wear them, use them!
Exercise is an essential tool for a healthy mental well being. Many mothers struggle in this aspect; either because of post traumatic stress following childbirth, and/or because of the change in lifestyle and stress of taking care of a newborn. Exercise is an excellent healthy drug-free tool to alleviate stress, improve memory, improve quality of sleep (which we REALLY need), and boost overall mood.
This is sometimes called pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain (PGP), pelvic girdle dysfunction (PGD) or symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD). This is a collection of uncomfortable symptoms and/or pain caused by changes of your pelvic joints.
Carpal Tunnel is very common during pregnancy. These are fast and easy exercises which you can do safely throughout the day to improve symptoms and/or avoid regression.
Exercise is very important during pregnancy and Pilates is one of the best exercises during this time. It is vital to adapt your exercise regime according to the trimester you are in.
