🔥 Lower Back Pain affects 70% of Pregnant Women.

🔥 Pregnancy Back Pain Slowing You Down? You Don’t Have to Endure It.

Lower back pain is one of the most common discomforts during pregnancy—affecting up to 70% of women.

Whether it’s an ache across your lower back, pain radiating into your hips, or tightness that worsens as your belly grows,

👉 You’re not alone—and you don’t have to “push through it.”

Back pain in pregnancy is treatable and manageable with the right care.

Leaving it unaddressed can lead to:

❗ Ongoing pain postpartum

❗ Sleep disruption

❗ Difficulty staying active and mobile

🩺 Why Back Pain Needs More Than Rest During Pregnancy

Many women are told to rest, stretch, or “wait it out”—

…but not all pain goes away on its own.

In pregnancy, back pain is often caused by:

✅ Hormonal changes (like increased relaxin affecting joints and ligaments)

✅ Shifting posture and extra strain on the lower back

✅ Weakening of deep abdominal and pelvic floor muscles

✅ Compression or irritation of nerves (like the sciatic nerve)

✨ The good news?

Physiotherapy provides safe, effective ways to relieve pregnancy-related back pain without medication.
