Pregnancy physical therapy has gained in popularity over the last several years as women seek more natural methods for pain relief, easing discomfort, and enhancing the body’s ability to have a smooth pregnancy and birth. Prenatal physical therapy is definitely a great way to prepare your body for birth while relieving some of the aches and pains that go hand-in-hand with the physical changes your body is experiencing.
Common Pregnancy Aches and Pains
While there are many different aches and pains that are associated with pregnancy, one of the most common and debilitating is back pain. The good news is that this is an area that can definitely be helped by physical therapy. You can receive immediate pregnancy back pain relief through hands-on care and modalities in the office and learn exercises and stretches to help relieve your pain throughout the day.
Physical Therapy, Pregnancy, and Back Pain
Obviously, each individual and each pregnancy is different, and your back pain might not be related to the following, but these are the most common reasons for back pain pregnancy symptoms. Some women have multiple causes, so the pain can fluctuate and change over time.
Common Causes of Back Pain During Pregnancy:
- Increased hormones
- Center of gravity shifts
- Additional weight (especially in the belly which can cause low back pain)
- Inability to maintain proper posture
- Additional stress (emotional and physical)
- Age-related complications
- Poor physical condition prior to pregnancy
Preventing and Reducing Back Pain: The Importance of Prenatal Exercise
One of the first steps you should take when you become pregnant or when you are preparing for a pregnancy is to get a prenatal exercise program. Strengthening your entire body, with a focus on prenatal back exercises, can go a long way toward preventing pain in the first place, reducing the severity and length of pain, and preparing your body for delivery.
