Physiotherapy in Obstetrics Video – 9

Physiotherapy assessment includes postural assessment, pelvic alignment, pelvic floor assessment. When it comes to postural alignment we take care of their weak abdomens, weak back muscles and increase in the lordosis which is an important thing which we take in consideration when it comes to postural correction. In pelvic alignment we check the source of pain or the discomfort. In pelvic floor assessment we check for the pelvic floor dysfunction, pelvic floor weakness plus the diastasis recti. Usually during the pregnancy the diastasis, the rectus abdominis goes for more than two finger enlargement due to the increase in the belly size. So we do the assessment for the diastasis recti.
