Carrying a child is an amazing experience. However, it does take a physical toll on our bodies. During the first moment of pregnancy, our bodies begin to change. The hormones Estrogen and Relaxin spike in the first trimester to relax your ligaments. And that nagging back pain that you thought was taken care of years ago? Unfortunately, it can rear its ugly head again due to decreased stability at the joints and ligaments around our bones. In fact, an estimated 50-70% of women experience back pain during pregnancy. What are some things that can be done to provide relief?
Our Pregnancy and Back Pain Treatment Program is a great option for those expecting mothers. Physical therapists will implement manual therapies and exercises to improve posture, stability and strength to provide back pain relief.
Physical Therapy can be a tool for expecting mothers for many reasons:
In your personalized treatment plan, we will work with you to both relieve your pregnancy back pain and strengthen your body where needed. It is amazing what the female body can do. In order to ensure that same body lives a pain-free life with your little one, give Camelback Sports Therapy a call to see how we can help! Whether it is pre- or postpartum, a physical therapist at Camelback Sports Therapy is here to help you every step of the way.
