    Re: Physiotherapy during pregnancy?

    Congratulations on your pregnancy!!!!

    Of course you can visit a Physio while you are pregnant.
    Pregnancy rather often causes back pains and especially Physios specialising in Women's Health can do an assessment and recommend treatment options. These range from exercises over Electrotherapy (TENS) to support belts etc..
    Not sure about the health system in Canada, but usually your pregnancy care provider (? GP, ? Obstetrician, ? Midwife) should be able to recommend a specialised Physiotherapist.

    Good luck,
    Fyzzio

    Thank you Fyzzio!!
    I have been to the physiotherapist and started the prenatal health programs which include postural and back exercises, breathing exercises, weight management, etc. So far I'm not experiencing any issues.
