Pregnancy and new motherhood present women with a constantly shifting physical and emotional state of being. During pregnancy, many women suffer with pain that affects their ability to walk, exercise, work, care for children or sleep comfortably.
Despite the common belief that pain in pregnancy is both normal and untreatable, physical therapists specialising in pregnancy are able to offer remedy through correcting the causes of pain and empowering women with exercise and self-care techniques.
