Does pelvic floor physiotherapy make childbirth easier?
Through the development of your body awareness, it prepares your body, pelvic and respiratory coordination, and reduces unnecessary tension.
It does not guarantee a specific type of delivery, but it increases the feeling of control and confidence to experience a more physiological pregnancy and childbirth.
In which quarter can I start?
At any time, but many women benefit most when they start between the 2nd and 3rd trimester or as soon as symptoms appear.
Will it hurt? Is it invasive?
Assessment and treatment only include internal techniques if clinically indicated and with explicit consent.
The process will always be in your hands.
How long does it take to see results?
Some improvements, such as reduced pain or better muscle control, appear within a few weeks. Prevention and preparation require consistency, not intensity.
Will I have to exercise "forever"?
No. The plan is progressive, focused on what really matters in pregnancy and childbirth. The tools stay with you. We like to foster autonomy and avoid the need for them to reappear.
