Maternal Health
I specialize in women’s health, particularly pelvic floor science, pregnancy prehab and posthab, in order to address this critical yet under-addressed aspect of female wellness.
Strong pelvic floor muscles are pivotal for supporting pelvic organs, maintaining continence, and enhancing sexual function.
Pelvic Floor Science
Overall, maintaining healthy pelvic floor muscles is crucial for various aspects of physical health, including continence, sexual function, and overall musculoskeletal well-being.
Pregnancy Prehap
Pregnancy prehabilitation is important for several reasons. Firstly, it helps women prepare their bodies physically, emotionally, and mentally for the demands of pregnancy, labor, and childbirth. It can also reduce the risk of complications during pregnancy, promote optimal fetal development, and enhance postpartum recovery by strengthening muscles, improving flexibility, and addressing any pre-existing health concerns.
Pregnancy Posthab
Pregnancy Posthab can address issues such as pelvic floor dysfunction, abdominal separation, and postpartum depression while restoring strength, flexibility, and overall well-being. Additionally, posthabilitation can aid in preventing long-term complications and support women in returning to their pre-pregnancy level of functioning.
What is Pelvic Floor?
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that support pelvic organs, including the bladder, uterus, vagina, and rectum. Strong pelvic floor muscles are essential for various functions, including:
- Support: The pelvic floor provides support for pelvic organs, preventing prolapse and other related issues.
- Continence: Strong pelvic floor muscles help control bladder and bowel movements, reducing the risk of urinary and fecal incontinence.
- Sexual Function: Pelvic floor health is vital for sexual function and enjoyment, including arousal, sensation, and orgasm.
- Pregnancy and Childbirth: During pregnancy, a strong pelvic floor can support the growing uterus and help with labor and delivery. After childbirth, pelvic floor exercises can aid in recovery and prevent issues like urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.
- Core Stability: The pelvic floor is an integral part of the body’s core musculature, contributing to overall stability, posture, and balance.
Preventive Health: Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles can help prevent pelvic floor disorders and associated complications later in life.
