Pregnancy & Post Partum Pain
Pelvic girdle and lower back pain are very common during pregnancy. As your body changes, increased weight and natural ligament laxity place greater demands on your muscles and joints. This added load can lead to discomfort and reduced mobility throughout the pregnancy journey.
Targeted physiotherapy during this time can play an important role in preventing or minimising pain. Individualised exercise programs help support your body as it adapts, and research shows they may also reduce the duration and intensity of pain during labour. Hands-on treatment and tailored advice can further assist in managing discomfort and keeping you moving well.
Following pregnancy, the postnatal period brings its own physical challenges. With the added demands of lifting, carrying, feeding, and caring for your baby - often combined with disrupted sleepit’s common to experience pain in the neck, shoulders, wrists, hips, and lower back. While self-care can be difficult during this busy time, addressing these issues early can make a significant difference to your comfort, recovery, and overall wellbeing.
