A woman's body changes significantly during pregnancy - this can lead to pain, tension and restricted movement. Our specialised pregnancy physiotherapy at PhysioART Basel helps you to alleviate specific complaints, relieve your body and optimally prepare for the birth.
During pregnancy, the muscles are put under a lot of strain due to the growing weight of the abdomen and hormonal changes. Many women suffer from back pain, SI joint problems, pelvic instability, tension or swelling.
Targeted physiotherapeutic care helps to prevent poor posture, alleviate pain, maintain mobility and reduce the strain on joints and muscles. Breathing, pelvic floor and body awareness can also be positively influenced by targeted exercises.
These are typical symptoms:
We use the following methods:
All measures are customised - safe for mother and child.
A strong pelvic floor is the basis for female health - at any age. Whether after giving birth, during the menopause or simply in everyday life: the pelvic floor supports the bladder, bowel and uterus, ensures an upright posture and plays a key role in continence and intimate well-being. If it is weakened by pregnancy, hormonal changes or age-related tissue changes, this can lead to symptoms such as incontinence, prolapse or pain.
Targeted training - supported by modern methods
Our pelvic floor therapy combines tried-and-tested exercises with innovative techniques such as biofeedback or electrostimulation. Biofeedback in particular helps women who find it difficult to perceive their pelvic floor to recognise the correct muscle activity and train it effectively. This makes the training not only perceptible but also measurable and supports a lasting improvement in your symptoms.
Physiotherapy is generally possible during the entire pregnancy. Ideally, you should start from the second trimester onwards when the first complaints arise or for preventative support.
Yes, all treatments are customised so that they are completely safe for mother and child. Our therapists are specially trained to work with pregnant women.

Yes, targeted mobilisation of the pelvis, breathing techniques and pelvic floor training can actively prepare for the birth and reduce discomfort.
