Pelvic Health & Orthopedic Physical Therapy
Addressing your questions about pelvic, women's, and musculoskeletal health. Health is a journey. Movement is healing!
From the little flutters to the ninja kicks, it is crucial for developing babies to move in the womb. These movements aid in development of the musculoskeletal system helping to strengthen the muscles. Even after birth movement is important as the infant learns how to explore their environment and develops more complex movement patterns.
I saw this amazing video again today of a baby moving in the womb, brought to us by MRI technology.
You see the floor the baby is pushing off of to tap dance and flip? That's the bottom part of the uterus and it has a close proximity to the ever important pelvic floor muscles. Every individual who has been pregnant and given birth should be assessed for changes to the pelvic floor muscles and rehabilitated appropriately! Need to keep those muscles functioning after serving as a dance floor.
