Module 2: Exercise in Pregnancy (Post learnings) - Coggle Diagram
Module 2: Exercise in Pregnancy (Post learnings)
Overview
More considerate of recommendations with respect to patient centered care (change to patients entire routine/lifestyle with newborn)
Modifying my SHX for any antenatal patients to include more specific questioning around precautions/contraindications. More confident in request further information from Obstetrician if required.
Physiotherapy has a role in maintaining health and function of both mother and baby; especially when considering "First 2000 days" framework. Exercise has a large role to play in maintaining healthy lifestyle and in the risks for lifestyle related conditions, and specialised assessment and interventions can be implemented by Physiotherapists to effect positive change
difficulties
If complex patient did require a more skilled clinician, travel would likely prove a barrier in the SES of the community I work in. Consider a telehealth joint session? (For both my own upskilling and complex patient management)
Not an area that I see commonly (usually referred for a specific MSK complaint)- but can certainly incorporate specific knowledge in my education to patients, and a much greater understanding of the 'bigger picture'.
Creativity
Consider telehealth options with base hospital for upskilling (development opportunity)
Further investigation and review of my knowledge for relaxation/breathing techniques from other clinical areas, combined with a review of literature to know more
Feelings
certainly more confident in being able to prescribe exercise, and be able to provide up to date literature that exercise is beneficial without contraindications
More confident to have discussions with other professionals (such as Midwives) regarding current EVB and evidence for PT scope/interventions
Facts
After some further reading (esp. with IC), much more confident in understanding the physiology behind the precautions/contraindications in exercise for high risk conditions, and being able to discuss this with a patient at an appropriate level
Opportunities/Benefits
Any case that I felt overwhelmed with after initial Ax, would continue to liaise/refer to Women's Health PT at base hospital
A literature review for treatment of prolapse (beyond physiotherapy)
Review our post-natal handouts with Women's Health PT at base hospital to ensure meeting current evidence guidelines regarding aerobic exercise
