Pre Postnatal Pain Causes and Treatments in Tirana, Albania

After the labor mothers usually face many different problems which might cause them stress. This stress can sometimes be very difficult to manage and to cope with. Post-natal physiotherapy is a kind of treatment which focuses on strengthening, relaxing and stretching in order to assist mothers to recover quickly. 

Another factor that mothers are worried about is the extra pounds that they take from pregnancy. This factor can be managed in a proper way with a structured, well-managed as well as specialized physiotherapy training program.

At the post-natal physiotherapy, you might experience stronger pain because of the constant lifting (lower back pain) and the breastfeeding (upper back pain). In this case, it is very important to stay fit when you have your post-natal physiotherapy.
