Two of the most common problems I see as a Physiotherapist is women enduring aches and pains (especially around the back and pelvis) and worries around extra weight and loss of health and fitness.  

 

During pregnancy we are bombarded with a lot of new and varying information and sometimes it is hard to decide what we should and shouldn’t be doing.  That is why when you choose exercises prescribed by a Physiotherapist with a special interest in pregnancy you know you are getting exactly what you need – safe and effective exercise particularly designed to cater for the changes in your body throughout pregnancy.  Some of these changes include: stretching of the tummy muscles, ligaments getting softer, posture changes and weight gain.  It is important to remember that all these changes are normal, but at the same time you do need to take these changes into consideration when exercising.  

There are lots of reasons why every pregnant women should be doing a physiotherapist designed Pregnancy Exercise DVD:

These include:

· Prevent or alleviate pain

·

· Increase core strength

· Stronger back muscles

· Stronger pelvic muscles

· Improved posture

· Improved fitness

· Improved breath awareness and relaxation

To be able to remove the guess work when it comes to performing exercises, be sure to purchase a pregnancy DVD designed by a Physiotherapist -to ensure you are presented the most risk-free and effective exercises for you, which include some you can continue to do after your baby will come.  

 

Keep in mind Physiotherapist are consultants not only in recommending work outs but also in understanding the changes that are occurring to your body throughout pregnancy.

[Many parents want to use baby signs with their toddler, but don't know just where to start]. [There's no magical starting point, but a few simple tips can get you headed in the right direction]. ~pemakanan ibu mengandung

* When you are first starting out with baby signs, you’ll want to think about the signs that will be most apt to get your child what he wants most quickly. [You also want to pick signs that you can use in almost any activity-- that way you'll get lots of chances to use them with your little one]. [For these reasons, most people will start with two simple but powerful signs: more and all done]. If you choose to teach your child to sign “more,” know that he will probably begin to sign “more” to request almost everything. [That's okay]. He’s learning to communicate with you, and that’s good!

[* Once your child starts learning that his hands have magical power over his world, you can start teaching him to be more specific about what he wants]. To do this, make a quick list in your head of the things he likes the most. [Does he crave his blanket]? Love his books? Relish in pointing out the kitty cats that go tearing through your house? [Look at the things that make him the most happy, and introduce the signs for those very things]. ~pakaian ibu mengandung

* As you sort through signs, choose the ones that are the most simple and distinct from each other. [Young children have a limited ability to make their hands do what they want them to, so try to pick signs that have big broad movements and look for signs that are different from each other]. For example, it may be hard to teach your child the difference between “eat” and “drink” because both of those signs are made up by his mouth. Instead, perhaps, you could teach him to sign for “eat,” which is made by tapping closed fingertips of one hand to your lips, and then also teach him the sign for “milk,” which is made by opening and shutting your hands and has nothing to do with your mouth.

* If there is a word that you really want to use, but the formal sign is tricky or complicated, change it! [Make it what you want it to be]. ~petua ibu hamil

That’s it! [With just those few simple tips, you're well on your way to successful signing with your toddler]. [Have fun]!
