At “City physio”, physiotherapists with a special interest in women’s health assist with various musculature changes that occur due to child-bearing. Basic antenatal or postnatal exercise programs are specially tailored made for each woman.
A pregnant woman undergoes various changes in her body, including her skeletal system. During her childbearing period, the women make postural changes in order to balance her body weight and her growing womb. This causes numerous joint pains & aches, making her childbearing experience exhausting. We at City Physio us understand how important this occasion is in anybody’s life. The course of welcoming a new member should be pleasant. Hence to make this journey more convenient for you.
