Intro

Pregnancy is a time of excitement, but it can also come with discomfort, back pain, pelvic pressure, or sciatica. Many women think it’s something they just have to “put up with,” but that’s not true. Physiotherapy can ease pain, improve posture, and support your body through each trimester.

Common Issues in Pregnancy

  • Pelvic girdle pain
  • Low back pain
  • Sciatic nerve discomfort
  • Rib pain or shortness of breath

How Physiotherapy Helps

  • Safe, targeted exercises for strength and support
  • Hands-on treatment for pain relief
  • Postural advice to ease pressure including taping, bracing, garmenting
  • Breathing and relaxation techniques

Bonus Tip

Start early! The sooner you address aches and pains, the easier they are to manage.
