Pre & Post Natal Classes:

The physical changes to a women’s body as related to pregnancy are multiple. The centre of mass changes, there is more pressure on the organs, and there is increased weight to be carried. All of this in a relatively short span of time often leads to back pain, pelvic pain and urinary incontinence. In fact, over two thirds of pregnant women experience back pain, one fifth experience pelvic pain and over 40% experience urinary incontinence in their first pregnancy - with half remaining incontinent at 8 weeks post-partum, and one third experiencing a new onset of incontinence after childbirth.

Evidence shows that group training programs designed and delivered by physiotherapists can relieve lower back pain, pelvic pain and urinary incontinence in pregnant and post natal women.

South City Physiotherapist Teresa Fox (B.Kin., B.Sc.P.T., RCAMT, Cert. of Sports Physiotherapy) has developed and will be instructing both Pre & Post natal classes designed to address these issues.
