Bed Rest Exercise
According to the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) pregnant women who are on bed rest can and should be doing some low impact, approved exercises.
Each year in the US an estimated 700,000 woman are put on bed rest. This can be physically and emotionally not ready for the upcoming birth of their child and postpartum.
A physical therapist out of the University of South Alabama has designed some exercises that she thinks can and should be done from the bed and helps minimize the loss of muscle tone and strength.
It is also helping pregnant women be as comfortable as possible.
