DID YOU KNOW?

Did you know that in Belgium, pelvic floor physiotherapy is considered an integral part of supporting a woman during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Prescribed by a general practitioner or OB-GYN during pregnancy, physiotherapy is a part of routine perinatal care in Belgium regardless of whether a woman is experiencing pain or injuries.
