If you exercise before pregnancy, you will have a more comfortable time during that period. Referring to the importance of weight control during these periods, Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Specialist Dr. Seçil Ekinci Çini states that it will be beneficial to do sports during pregnancy.
Women who do sports during and before pregnancy experience less waist and back pain. Experts recommend exercising without overdoing it and eating regularly to have a comfortable pregnancy.
IF THE BODY MUSCLES ARE WEAK…
Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Specialist Dr. Seçil Ekinci Çini said that waist and back pain occurs due to the stretching and stretching of the ligaments that hold the joints together during pregnancy and the resulting imbalance. Expert Dr. Çini said, “Normally, there is a balance between the back, waist and abdominal muscles. During pregnancy, while the abdominal muscles lengthen, the back muscles shorten at the same time. This creates an imbalance between the muscles. Pains that the body can normally overcome can be a problem during pregnancy. If the trunk muscles are weak, these pains occur more. "Women who do sports before pregnancy get through the pregnancy period more painlessly," he said. Seçil Ekinci Çini said, “In order to reduce pain during pregnancy, weight control should be done first. We recommend gaining an average of 8-12 kilos during pregnancy. Gaining weight above this can cause problems in the musculoskeletal system. The resulting pain may continue after pregnancy. Drug-free treatments are applied in our hospital for pain originating from the musculoskeletal system that does not go away with sports and exercises. Therefore, we solve problems with treatments such as kinesiology taping, dry needling, hot and cold compresses and massage. "Expecting mothers who will start doing sports during pregnancy can do walking, swimming, flexibility and posture exercises under the supervision of specialist physicians," he said.
DO CONTROLLED SPORTS
“Pregnant women Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Specialist Dr. said, "They should do pregnancy training and posture exercises under the supervision of experts. Seçil Ekinci Çini said: “Skeletal system problems cause problems in daily life and restrict mobility. Start exercising in the first 3 months of pregnancy It should be started after ticking. Exercise should be done regularly, on average 3-4 days a week. The aim of exercise is never to lose weight or prevent weight gain, it should not be done for this purpose. Exercise should not be excessively long or so heavy that it leaves you breathless. An average of 20-30 minutes of exercise is appropriate.”
