Ask a pregnant woman how she feels and you’ll get a response signifying either absolute happiness or absolute discomfort. During the journey of pregnancy, there seems to be no in-between! While pregnancy is a beautiful phase, it comes with its own share of distress, for instance – back pain.
Our body produces a hormone known as relaxin. While both men and women form relaxin, this hormone is primarily produced in pregnant women, most significantly during the second trimester. It is responsible for preventing any damage to a woman’s body during childbirth. This hormone helps in the ‘loosening’ of the muscles and ligaments constituting the birth canal to enable a near-seamless delivery.
However, high levels of relaxin result in the loosening of other ligaments in your body, and not just those of the birth canal. On one hand, relaxin facilitates the flow of blood. On the other hand, it leads to muscle, joint and body pains. This side-effect of relaxin is the fundamental cause of your lower back pain during pregnancy, but the location of your pain can be unique. The transitory loosening during this period of pregnancy can make your muscles and ligaments weak for a long period of time.
Studies have shown that 50-80% of women are affected by lower back pain during pregnancy. However, there is a simple solution to help you ease your pain – physiotherapy in pregnancy – and that’s why we’re bringing this webinar to our Mamas for free!

What is the importance of physiotherapy during pregnancy?
Physiotherapy, also known as physical therapy, is an evidence-based technique that involves the science of movement to promote healing and holistic fitness. It includes a wide array of exercises and massages. The aim of physiotherapy during pregnancy is to help the body deal with issues related to mobility, musculature, circulation and respiration.
It is important to engage in physiotherapy in pregnancy, but at Mama’s Pride Maternity, we believe that it’s more important to do the exercise safely: more reason why you need to attend this webinar as you will learn how to work-out safely both during pregnancy and after delivery. This webinar promises to be enlightening, see you there!
