Perineal Massage

How We Treat?

Perineal massage during pregnancy is a technique aimed at gently stretching and softening the perineal tissues in preparation for childbirth. Regular perineal massage, starting in the third trimester, can help reduce the risk of tearing and the need for episiotomy during delivery. However, it’s important to remember that delivery preparation involves more than just perineal massage. Strengthening the pelvic floor, improving posture, and staying active are all key components of preparing the body for labor. Visiting a women’s health physiotherapist is crucial to not only learn perineal massage properly but also receive comprehensive guidance on exercises, relaxation techniques, and other vital aspects of childbirth preparation. A physiotherapist provides personalized advice, helping you safely integrate these practices into your routine for maximum benefit and a smoother delivery.
