Pregnancy Program
While no one can make pregnancy easy, we can make the pelvic pain, tingling arms, upper back pain and other problems more bearable. We can also help to protect moms against long term health issues like leaking bladders and low back instability. Pregnancy creates changes in a woman’s body which place a great deal of stress on muscles, ligaments, and joints. Every pregnancy is different and should have a specific plan to manage it. We help first time mothers to shorten labor times and experienced mothers with many children to handle the cumulative toll taken on the body. Therapists at Manual Solutions have been helping prospective mothers for more than 10 years. We work with many local Obstetricians, Doulas and Midwives to develop strategies for every mother. Our program uses Manual Therapy to accomplish five basic objectives.
Protect the mother against injury when they are carrying the baby and during delivery.
Minimize the discomfort during pregnancy.
Make labor faster and more efficient.
Help to avoid labor complications like tearing or failure to progress.
Help the mother to return to health and activity.
We have outlined issues to be addressed in each trimester of pregnancy and have created a schedule for exercise for the entire pregnancy. The combination of our Manual skills and anatomical knowledge uniquely qualifies us to free fascial restrictions, align the pelvis, strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor and trunk, and address any mechanical issue that arises. We invite you to come in and let us help you through the challenges of your pregnancy.
