Pregnancy Musculoskeletal Dysfunction
Pregnancy demands a tremendous amount out of a women’s body. Changes in posture, muscle strength, ligament stability, and pelvic alignment can leave lasting and painful changes such as pelvic or back pain. However, having a child doesn’t mean that you have to live with the painful changes forever and most women can have significant improvements in their pain and function with physical therapy.
​
Our Physical Therapist's address the musculoskeletal components of pregnancy and postpartum issues including incontinence, pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, and prenatal joint/muscle dysfunction. Weakness, poor muscle coordination, abdominal strength, and bladder habits may also contribute to musculoskeletal dysfunction.
​
After evaluating the muscles, joints and/or nerves contributing to pain, our Physical Therapist's will recommend modifications of posture and review proper body mechanics/bowel/bladder habits. Other treatments include soft tissue massage, mobilization, stretching, and core stabilization.
