Pregnancy and Post Natal Care
Women's Health Physiotherapy, supporting you through a fitter healthier pregnancy.
Pregnancy can be a very exciting time but it can also be an uncomfortable one. Back and pelvic pain are very common at this time affecting up to 90% of women.
During your pregnancy your body releases the hormone relaxin which softens your ligaments. This allows for the body to accommodate your baby whilst aiding its natural delivery at the end of pregnancy.
The softening of these ligaments also means that your joints are less supported and as a result you are more susceptible to experiencing pain and discomfort.
