Pregnancy and childbirth are transformative experiences that bring joy and new life. However, significant physical challenges can persist long after delivery for mothers. Many new mothers find themselves grappling with a range of musculoskeletal issues that can impact their daily lives and overall well-being. Now, with Activ technology, there is a revolutionary approach to changing postpartum physiotherapy.
Postpartum Physiotherapy for Musculoskeletal Issues
Understandably, pregnancy and childbirth put tremendous strain on a woman’s body. As the body adapts to carrying and delivering a child, it undergoes numerous changes that can lead to various musculoskeletal problems. These issues often persist after childbirth, affecting a new mother’s ability to care for her baby and herself.
While there’s a long list of common post-pregnancy musculoskeletal problems, each of these problems can be alleviated by INDIBA Activ technology:
- Lower Back Pain: The shift in center of gravity during pregnancy and the strain of carrying a growing baby can lead to persistent lower back pain. INDIBA can help relax tense muscles in the lower back, reduce inflammation, and promote healing of any micro-tears that may have occurred during pregnancy or childbirth.
- Neck Pain: The postures adopted during breastfeeding and carrying an infant can cause neck strain and discomfort. By improving blood flow and reducing muscle tension, INDIBA can alleviate neck pain caused by poor posture during breastfeeding or baby care.
- Knee Pain: Weight gain during pregnancy and hormonal changes can affect knee joints, leading to pain and instability. The therapy can help reduce inflammation in the knee joint and strengthen the surrounding muscles, providing better support and pain relief.
- Hip Pain: The pelvis widens during pregnancy, which can cause hip pain that persists after delivery. INDIBA can help realign the pelvis and reduce inflammation in the hip joints, helping new mothers regain their normal gait and reduce pain.
- Coccyx Pain: The tailbone area can become painful due to the pressure exerted during childbirth. INDIBA can relieve persistent coccyx pain by promoting healing and reducing inflammation in this area.
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (Mother’s Wrist): Fluid retention during pregnancy can compress the median nerve, leading to numbness and pain in the hands and wrists. INDIBA can help reduce swelling and inflammation around the median nerve, alleviating the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.
- De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis (Mother’s Thumb): Repetitive motions like lifting and carrying a baby can cause inflammation in the tendons of the thumb. The therapy can reduce inflammation in the tendons of the thumb and wrist, providing relief from pain and improving hand function.
- Diastasis Recti: During pregnancy, the abdominal muscles can separate. This condition is known as diastasis recti. Like many other musculoskeletal conditions related to pregnancy, its recovery can be aided by INDIBA. This advanced technology, through penetrating the tissue, can increase blood flow, enhance muscle tone, support skin elasticity, and importantly, boost collagen and elastin production, two key proteins responsible for skin strength and flexibility.
These issues can significantly impact a new mother’s quality of life, making it challenging to care for her newborn and herself. Traditional treatments often involve pain medication, physical therapy, or, in some cases, invasive procedures. However, as demonstrated, INDIBA technology offers a non-invasive, effective alternative gaining popularity in post-pregnancy care.
Moreover, recent molecular studies have revealed an intriguing effect of INDIBA on fat cells. The treatment appears to inhibit adipocyte activity, potentially leading to a lasting reduction in fat deposits. This dual action of skin tightening and fat reduction can significantly restore your pre-pregnancy body contours.
By incorporating INDIBA Activ into your postnatal recovery plan, you’re not just addressing surface-level concerns but promoting deep tissue healing and rejuvenation. The result is a comprehensive approach to postpartum body restoration that works from the inside out.
The INDIBA Activ Advantage
INDIBA technology utilizes a specific radiofrequency of 448 kHz to stimulate cellular activity and promote healing from within. This unique approach offers several benefits for postpartum musculoskeletal issues, such as pain relief, where the treatment promotes blood circulation and reduces inflammation in affected areas.
It accelerates healing by stimulating cellular metabolism and improves flexibility in joints that have become stiff or painful. As mentioned, a major benefit of INDIBA is that it is a noninvasive surgery, making it a safe option for new mothers. Lastly, it often delivers quick results. Many patients report feeling relief after just a few sessions, allowing them to return to their daily activities more quickly.
The INDIBA Experience
A typical INDIBA® session for postpartum physiotherapy is comfortable and relaxing. The therapist applies conductive cream to the relevant treatment area and uses specially designed electrodes to deliver radiofrequency energy. Patients often report a pleasant warming sensation during the treatment.
Sessions usually last 20 minutes, depending on the issue being addressed. The number of sessions required varies based on the severity of the condition and individual response to the treatment. Many mothers notice improvements after just a few sessions, and they continue to benefit as they progress through their treatment plan.
A Holistic Approach to Post-Pregnancy Care
While INDIBA technology offers significant benefits for post-pregnancy musculoskeletal issues, it is most effective as part of a comprehensive care plan. This may include gentle exercises, proper nutrition and adequate rest. Our physiotherapists at HelloPhysio work with new mothers to develop a personalized treatment plan incorporating INDIBA therapy alongside other supportive measures.
As more healthcare providers recognize the benefits of INDIBA technology, it’s becoming an increasingly popular option for post-pregnancy care.
