Why pregnancy and postpartum back pain is common

Up to 70 percent of pregnant women and 40 percent of postpartum women experience back pain, driven by rising relaxin hormone, uterine load, altered posture and (postpartum) diastasis recti + pelvic floor weakness. Left untreated, prenatal back pain persists postpartum in 50 percent of cases. Physiotherapy from Pro Physiotherapy JP Nagar is the safest first-line treatment — no medication, no imaging, only guided exercise and manual therapy from an MPT-certified female clinician on home visits.

The 4-phase prenatal-postnatal protocol

  • Prenatal Phase 1 (any trimester): pelvic-floor screening, sacroiliac joint mobilisation, pregnancy pillow education.
  • Prenatal Phase 2 (2nd + 3rd trimester): deep-core activation, pelvic tilts, side-lying leg lifts, birth-preparation squats.
  • Postnatal Phase 1 (0–6 weeks): C-section scar mobilisation, gentle diaphragmatic breathing, log-rolling technique.
  • Postnatal Phase 2 (6–12 weeks): diastasis recti closure, pelvic-floor Kegels, safe return-to-exercise progression.

Red flags that need urgent physio referral

  • Pubic symphysis pain when climbing stairs or turning in bed
  • Sciatic-like leg pain during pregnancy
  • Cannot lift baby without back spasm
  • Diastasis recti gap wider than 2 finger-widths at 6 weeks postpartum
  • Urinary leakage on sneeze or laugh
  • Pain during intercourse postpartum

How many home-visit sessions are needed?

Prenatal back pain: 6–10 sessions across 4–8 weeks. Postnatal back pain + diastasis recti: 8–12 sessions across 6–10 weeks. Home visits are strongly recommended (baby stays with you, no clinic commute). Sessions from ₹800–₹900 across JP Nagar, Bannerghatta Road, Gottigere and BTM Layout.
