Exploring the historical connections between physiotherapy and midwifery, this book delves into their shared origins and subsequent divergence. It examines the evolution of practices, the integration of gynecology, and the treatment of incontinence. Today, physiotherapists, alongside midwives and health visitors, contribute to childbirth preparation and health education. Their role is to support women through the physical transformations of pregnancy and the postpartum period, aiming to reduce stress. This involves assessing and managing musculoskeletal issues, instructing on breathing techniques and positioning, and preparing women for labor. In the postnatal phase, guidance is offered on physical activity, exercises, and specialized treatments when required. This resource is designed for students, newly qualified physiotherapists undertaking obstetric and gynecological rotations, those beginning specialist post-registration training, and practicing physiotherapists.
