What pregnancy physical therapy Treat:
Pregnancy often causes strain on the lower back due to changes in posture and weight distribution. Physical therapy helps alleviate discomfort through targeted exercises and manual therapy.
Physical therapy can address pain in the pelvic region, including pelvic girdle pain, which is common during pregnancy due to the loosening of ligaments and joints.
The pressure of a growing uterus can irritate the sciatic nerve, leading to sharp, radiating pain in the lower back, buttocks, and legs. Physical therapy can help relieve this nerve-related discomfort.
Physical therapy provides exercises to strengthen the core and help close the separation of the abdominal muscles, a common issue during pregnancy.
As the body adjusts to the growing baby, poor posture and muscle imbalances can lead to neck, shoulder, and upper back pain. Physical therapy focuses on improving posture and relieving upper body tension.
