Growing Bundle of Joy in the Front; Pain in the Back

Low back pain that arises during pregnancy can be caused by a multitude of factors; your injury history before pregnancy, how many times you’ve been pregnant, your body size in comparison to your growing baby, your activity level prior to and during pregnancy, etc. The reason behind your pain matters. What also matters is that you get relief, and the dysfunction is resolved to improve your pregnancy and postpartum experience.

How can pelvic floor physical therapy help?

A pelvic floor physical therapist will assess your whole body with your growing baby in mind. After taking a thorough history of past injuries, pregnancies, and other pertinent information, the physical therapist will assess your movement and evaluate for where the pain is originating from and why. Through manual techniques, exercise prescription, and movement modifications, the physical therapist will help you learn how to relieve the pain today, with a focus on making sure it does not return.
