Understanding the Changes: How We Can Help
During pregnancy, a woman’s body undergoes profound changes, from increased pelvic floor load to the stretching of ligaments and shifts in posture. These changes, while natural, can lead to discomfort and pain in various parts of the body such as the back, shoulders, knees, and more. Muscle weakness may also occur, potentially leading to urinary incontinence and a weakened core.

Scarring is a very common condition that occurs in a pregnant woman due to episiotomies C-sections. When this particular condition happens, a woman may experience trigger restrictions around their myofascial system, causing a limited range of motion, pain, and unpleasant sensation during movement.
