Pregnancy physiotherapy in Mira Road at Dr. Vigil’s Advanced Physiotherapy helps expectant mothers stay active safely and ease back, hip and pelvic pain. Our physiotherapists assess you in private, explain what is safe at your stage of pregnancy, and give you exercises and posture tips you can use every day. We see patients at our clinics in Mira Road and Mira Bhayandar.
Aches in pregnancy are common, but you do not have to simply put up with them. Guided exercise can help you feel stronger, move more easily and prepare your body for birth and recovery. We work alongside your doctor or gynaecologist.
What is pregnancy physiotherapy?
It is physiotherapy designed for pregnancy. We check your posture, back, pelvis, hips and pelvic floor, then give safe exercises and daily-habit advice, such as how to sleep, get out of bed and climb stairs. Pregnancy physiotherapy in Mira Road adds to your doctor’s care and does not replace it.
Common pregnancy problems we help with
| Problem | What you may feel | How we help |
|---|---|---|
| Back pain | Aching in the lower back that grows through the day | Posture advice, gentle strengthening and stretches |
| Pelvic girdle pain | Pain at the front of the pelvis or across the lower back, worse when walking, on stairs or turning in bed | Pacing advice, strengthening, posture work and pelvic floor exercises |
| Leg swelling and heaviness | Tired, swollen legs by evening | Safe movement and circulation exercises, with your doctor’s advice |
| Tiredness and constipation | Low energy and sluggish digestion | Regular, gentle activity matched to your stage |
Staying active in pregnancy
The WHO says regular physical activity during pregnancy lowers the risk of pre-eclampsia, gestational hypertension and gestational diabetes, and has no adverse effects on birthweight. ACOG and the US Physical Activity Guidelines advise at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week for pregnant women without medical or pregnancy complications. The NHS gives the same target, about 150 minutes a week plus two muscle-strengthening sessions, and says moderate means you can still talk but not sing. You can split it into shorter sessions, and beginners can start with about 10 minutes a day and build up gradually.
We set the intensity for you, because every pregnancy is different.
Pelvic girdle pain: what helps
South Tees NHS says as many as one in five women may have pelvic girdle pain. Contact your doctor or midwife early. Physiotherapy helps with advice, strengthening and posture work. Their leaflet suggests staying active within your pain limits, taking shorter steps in flat, supportive shoes, doing pelvic floor exercises at least three times a day, and tightening them before you lift or turn.
- Sleep on your side with a pillow between your knees
- Roll in and out of bed with your knees together
- Take stairs one at a time
- Avoid standing on one leg, crossing your legs and carrying a child on one hip
Activities to avoid in pregnancy
The NHS advises avoiding sports with a risk of falling or hitting your bump, such as hockey, rugby and mountain biking, and scuba diving. It also suggests not starting a new vigorous activity such as running, not exercising on an empty stomach, and avoiding lying flat on your back for more than a few minutes in later pregnancy. We help you choose safe alternatives. Our posture correction physiotherapy can also help with strain from long sitting.
When to stop and call your doctor
Stop exercising and contact your doctor if you feel dizzy or light-headed, get a headache, muscle weakness, nausea or chest pain, notice fewer baby movements, or have contractions. Check with your doctor before exercising if you have ongoing vaginal bleeding, anaemia, a history of preterm delivery before week 37, heart or lung problems, or high blood pressure.
