Urinary incontinence, prolapsed organs and vulvovaginal pain are common problems during pregnancy and after childbirth.
During these periods, it is recommended to rehabilitate your perineum in physiotherapy. This rehabilitation helps prevent or treat abdominal and pelvic he alth problems and ensure a return to active postnatal life.
“You should know that about 50% of pregnant women and 30% of women who have just given birth suffer from urinary incontinence,” says Douanka Gendreau, co-founder of Pelvi Life.
For many future and new mothers, the current Covid-19 pandemic is upsetting plans on several levels. Indeed, in this context, many women hesitate to consult a physiotherapist in perineal rehabilitation, since they do not want to travel pregnant or accompanied by their baby. And yet, taking care of their pelvic he alth is just as important!
