Overview of Prenatal Care Treatment in Singapore
Prenatal care at Orchard Health Clinic supports mothers through each stage of pregnancy with a focus on musculoskeletal well-being, postural balance, and physical comfort. Pregnancy introduces natural changes to the body, and our approach is tailored to manage discomfort and promote stability as the pregnancy progresses.
Through gentle manual techniques, posture support, and targeted movement guidance, we work alongside expectant mothers to prepare their bodies for the months ahead. Our practitioners at Orchard Health Clinic focus on restoring and maintaining function across all body systems in a safe and supportive environment.
Benefits of Prenatal Care
Prenatal care may provide several benefits for expectant mothers and their babies. Regular sessions have been associated with reduced back pain, improved posture, and enhanced circulation. Addressing physical discomfort during pregnancy can contribute to overall well-being and help prepare the body for labour. This approach supports both physical and mental health throughout the course of pregnancy.
