Specific methods of physiotherapy treatment as part of a woman in the puerperium
AL-AHMADOVÁ, Laila
This bachelor's thesis focuses on physiotherapeutic techniques as part of care for women during the postpartum period. Most women actively attend prenatal classes, where they are instructed on how to exercise and perform routine activities to provide relieve to their musculoskeletal system. Unfortunately, the majority of women are not informed of how to continue after having given birth, when they experience considerable weight loss and the burden on the skeleton changes completely within several hours. The objective of my thesis is to provide an overview of the possibilities and utilization of special physiotherapy techniques to accelerate the normalization and stabilization of women's musculoskeletal system. The first part of the thesis focuses on the physiological postpartum period, anatomy and postpartum complications. In addition, I provide an overview of techniques that can be used in clinical practice. The second objective was to discover whether individual exercise during the postpartum period makes it easier for women to cope with postpartum changes, thereby having a positive influence on the course of the postpartum period. This was confirmed by the results of this work. Qualitative research techniques were used, including interviewing and observation techniques. The study group comprised 3 patients aged from 25 to 34 years old. The women were followed up during the entire postpartum period, which was free of any complications. The patients improved their breathing stereotypes and pelvic floor functions. All three women reported gradual improvement of their subjective feelings during treatment. Unfortunately, I learned that many women in the postpartum ward refuse/do not do any exercise. The rooming-in system, although the most beneficial for both mother and child, makes the physiotherapist´s work very difficult. It is very hard to coordinate the mother´s free time and the physiotherapist's time reserved for the postpartum ward. In my opinion, the best solution would be to begin education mothers during pregnancy, preferably during the prenatal courses. The expected practical use of this thesis is for the needs of physiotherapists as well as other healthcare professionals and women in the postpartum period.
