Supporting the Journey of Motherhood: Antenatal and Postpartum Physiotherapy at Neotia Mediplus, Rawdon Street

Pregnancy and motherhood are extraordinary phases in a woman’s life. They bring immense joy but also bring physical and emotional changes that require gentle care, scientific guidance and personalized support. At Neotia Mediplus Clinic, Rawdon Street, our physiotherapy services for antenatal and postpartum mothers are designed to make this journey more comfortable, confident and healthy. A special highlight of our program is the Lamaze childbirth preparation classes, focused on empowering mothers and their partners through education and mindful techniques.

Antenatal Physiotherapy: Preparing the Body for Birth

As pregnancy progresses, a woman’s body adapts to support the growing baby. These changes can often result in back pain, muscle weakness, postural imbalances, and fatigue. Antenatal physiotherapy helps women cope with these challenges by improving flexibility, strength, and posture while relieving discomfort.

At Neotia Mediplus Clinic, our physiotherapists offer individualized antenatal sessions that include:

• Posture awareness and corrective exercises to maintain spinal balance and comfort.
• Pelvic floor strengthening programs to prepare for labour and reduce the risk of postpartum complications.
• Breathing and relaxation training to manage stress, enhance oxygen circulation and prepare for childbirth.
• Gentle stretching, mobility and endurance exercises that promote flexibility and stamina.

These scientifically guided sessions not only ease physical discomfort but also help expectant mothers gain confidence and a stronger connection to their changing bodies.

Lamaze Classes at Neotia Mediplus: Breathing Calm into Childbirth

A key feature of our antenatal program is the Lamaze childbirth education series. Based on evidence-based techniques, Lamaze classes help couples understand the natural physiology of birth and encourage active participation in the birthing process. They emphasize informed decision-making, comfort techniques, and emotional reassurance.

Our Lamaze classes at Neotia Mediplus Clinic focus on:

• Understanding the stages of labour and how the body works during childbirth.
• Practicing rhythmic breathing patterns that relieve pain, reduce anxiety, and promote relaxation.
• Learning optimal labour positions and movements that ease contractions and support smoother delivery.
• Partner involvement, helping expectant fathers or companions provide meaningful physical and emotional support.
• Coping strategies for labour pain, including natural methods and available medical options.
• Educational discussions on postpartum recovery, newborn care, and breastfeeding basics.

Guided by certified instructors and physiotherapists, these sessions foster a sense of calm readiness and empowerment as couples approach childbirth with knowledge and confidence.

Postpartum Physiotherapy: Healing, Strength and Recovery

Recovery after childbirth is a process that requires time, patience, and guided physical care. Postpartum physiotherapy at Neotia Mediplus Clinic is designed to support new mothers as they regain strength, manage common postnatal issues, and adapt to the physical demands of early motherhood.

Our postpartum physiotherapy services include:

• Pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation to restore strength, function, and continence.
• Core strengthening and abdominal recovery to address diastasis recti and postural imbalance.
• Gentle mobility and stretching routines to relieve joint stiffness and enhance flexibility.
• Ergonomic training and practical tips on baby handling, feeding positions and safe body mechanics.
• Gradual return-to-fitness programs tailored to each mother’s condition and lifestyle.

The goal is to ensure lasting health, confidence, and comfort as mothers transition into this beautiful new chapter of life.
