Pre/Post Natal Pain refers to discomfort that appears during pregnancy or after childbirth. These changes in the body can affect movement, posture, sleep, and daily routines. At Therapointe Physiotherapy in Whitemud Crossing, support is provided to address these physical challenges through movement-based care, education, and structured exercise plans that respect each stage of pregnancy and recovery.
Pregnancy brings natural changes in hormones, weight distribution, and joint stability. After childbirth, the body continues adjusting as muscles and tissues recover. These transitions may lead to strain in the lower back, hips, pelvis, neck, or wrists. Care focused on Pre/Post Natal Pain helps individuals manage these changes safely while continuing daily activities.
During pregnancy and after delivery, several physical and structural factors may contribute to discomfort:
As the baby grows, posture shifts forward, placing extra load on the spine and surrounding muscles. This may create tension in the lower back and shoulders.
Pregnancy hormones increase joint flexibility, which can reduce stability in certain areas, especially the pelvis and lower spine.
The abdominal and pelvic muscles support the growing weight during pregnancy. After childbirth, these muscles may feel weakened or overworked.
Lifting, feeding, carrying, and sleep disruption after childbirth can place additional strain on the body.
Individuals may notice different symptoms depending on body changes and activity levels. Some common signs include:
A frequent concern is due to shifting posture and added weight distribution during pregnancy.
Pressure or strain in the pelvic region may appear during or after pregnancy.
Feeding positions and holding a newborn may contribute to upper-body tightness.
Repetitive lifting and holding may lead to wrist stiffness or discomfort.
Simple daily actions such as standing, bending, or walking may feel restricted due to discomfort.
At Therapointe Physiotherapy, care for Pre/Post Natal Pain focuses on movement, posture awareness, and safe exercise progressions.
