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.
