If you are a soon-to-or a new mom struggling with back pain, this post is for you!
During pregnancy, the muscles in the abdomen are stretched by the growing uterus. This can hence weaken your core and put extra stress on your back. Furthermore, hormonal changes during the pregnancy term will make your ligaments more lax, which can lead to instability in your back. This hence causes lower back pain even with daily life activities, such as walking and standing.
The estimated occurrence of lower back pain in the pre and post natal population can be up to 78%, so not to worry, you are not alone!
Physiotherapy can be extremely helpful in this aspect, by helping you develop core stability.
For more specific advice, do arrange for a consultation with our highly skilled and friendly physiotherapists. You can call for an appointment at 68357377.
