Experiences of digital physiotherapy during pregnancy and after childbirth: A qualitative study

Digital physiotherapy was well-accepted and perceived as beneficial for managing musculoskeletal symptoms during pregnancy and after childbirth. High accessibility and flexibility were considered advantages. However, inability to undergo a physical assessment was a challenge. Digital physiotherapy may be recommended as a complement to usual care, particularly for women with limited access to a physiotherapist specialized in women's health. Future studies exploring digital physiotherapy's efficacy for musculoskeletal issues during pregnancy and after childbirth are highly recommended.

Abstract

Digital physiotherapy was well-accepted and perceived as beneficial for managing musculoskeletal symptoms during pregnancy and after childbirth. High accessibility and flexibility were considered advantages. However, inability to undergo a physical assessment was a challenge. Digital physiotherapy may be recommended as a complement to usual care, particularly for women with limited access to a physiotherapist specialized in women's health. Future studies exploring digital physiotherapy's efficacy for musculoskeletal issues during pregnancy and after childbirth are highly recommended.
