Physiotherapy And Pregnancy

Physiotherapists are healthcare professionals trained to assess, diagnose and treat conditions of the musculature and skeleton. If you have been experiencing pain or discomfort that has limited your muscular strength, or range of motion, you might benefit from treatment in the form of physiotherapy.
