Pre & Post-Natal
The female body undergoes significant hormonal and musculoskeletal changes during the childbearing years. At this exciting time of our lives, the body may experience new areas of pain or discomfort as well as other symptoms such as incontinence, diastasis recti (tummy separation) and pelvic organ prolapse.
At Enlighten Physiotherapy we treat and manage a range of pelvic health and musculoskeletal conditions for the expecting and new mum.
These include:
Pelvic girdle, lower back, neck and thoracic pain
Pubic Symphysis Dysfunction
Diastasis Recti
Mastitis
De Quervain’s
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
At Enlighten we also provide advice and education with both a safe exercise during pregnancy program and an individualised graded return to exercise program post-partum.
Musculoskeletal
With a whole body dynamic assessment, Enlighten doesn’t just treat your symptoms, but aims to find the driver or cause of your problem, ensuring an accurate diagnosis and development of an individual treatment plan. The driver may not necessarily be the location of your symptoms. Clients are often surprised to learn about the connection between a pelvic floor dysfunction and lower back pain, hip impingement and even jaw and neck pain.
An accurate diagnosis will empower you with the knowledge and a unique treatment plan to guide you to your wellbeing goals. Treatment techniques will vary with each individual presentation. These may include, but not limited to, myofascial release, dry needling and western acupuncture, muscle energy techniques and re-education of dynamic movement patterns.
