Pregnancy is often accompanied by pain and discomfort. An increase in hormones, a change in the body’s center of gravity, additional weight, and a decline in posture can all contribute to pelvic, hip, or back pain, as well as other musculoskeletal issues such as carpal tunnel, spinal problems, circulatory problems, or nerve compression syndromes.
In addition, it’s not uncommon for pregnant women to experience foot or ankle pain, abdominal pain, nausea, heartburn, or urinary problems. Similarly, after giving birth, new mothers may experience back pain, urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and tears or scarring around the C-section or perineum. Fortunately, physical therapy can help to alleviate much of the pain and discomfort that goes along with pregnancy and giving birth.

For this reason, PT for pregnancy will usually involve postural training, joint alignment, muscle strengthening exercises, and flexibility exercises.
Typically, a physical therapist will use a combination of techniques with pregnant women or new mothers, including deep tissue massage, muscle energy techniques, therapeutic exercise, biomechanics, and posture techniques.
