Pregnancy physiotherapist in Zaanstad

What is pregnancy physiotherapy?

A lot changes in your body during and after pregnancy. Pelvic pain, lower back pain, urine leakage, a separation of the abdominal muscles (diastasis) and recovery after giving birth: a physiotherapist with experience in pregnancy helps you with explanation, targeted exercises and advice on load in daily life.

You don't need a referral. For urinary incontinence, basic insurance pays 9 sessions of pelvic floor physiotherapy for adults; other complaints usually fall under supplementary insurance. See your GP or midwife first if you have blood loss, a fever or sudden severe pain.
