Pregnancy Shouldn’t Hurt — But Sometimes It Does. We Can Help.

Pregnancy is a powerful journey, but it doesn’t mean you have to suffer through discomfort or pain as your “new normal.” At Resilient Physical Therapy and Performance, we specialize in helping pregnant moms feel strong, mobile, and pain-free throughout every stage of pregnancy.

Our approach to pregnancy physical therapy supports your changing body so you can keep moving, keep working, keep training—or just get through the day without nagging pain.

Let’s break down the most common types of pregnancy-related pain we treat, and how physical therapy can provide safe, effective relief.

✅ Common Pains in Pregnancy We Treat:

• 1. Low Back Pain
  • Up to 70% of pregnant women experience low back pain, especially in the second and third trimesters. The added weight, postural changes, and hormonal shifts can put stress on your spine.
  • 🔹 Our approach: Gentle manual therapy, guided movement, pelvic stabilization, and custom home exercises that are safe and trimester-specific.
• 2. SI Joint Pain (Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction)
  • The SI joints are located where your spine meets your pelvis. With pregnancy hormones like relaxin loosening your ligaments, the SI joints can become unstable and painful.
  • 🔹 Our approach: Stabilization drills, pelvic belts (if needed), and tailored mobility work to restore balanced support.
• 3. Pubic Symphysis Pain
  • Pain at the front of the pelvis (the pubic bone) can feel sharp, shooting, or achy—especially with walking, stairs, or turning in bed. This is known as Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD).
  • 🔹 Our approach: Gentle strengthening, pelvic alignment techniques, and movement modifications to reduce strain and improve daily function.
• 4. Round Ligament Pain
  • That sudden, sharp pain in your lower belly or groin during movement? It’s likely round ligament pain, which happens as your uterus expands and pulls on ligaments that support it.
  • 🔹 Our approach: Soft tissue work, guided movement patterns, and specific positional relief strategies to ease tension.
• 5. Neck and Shoulder Pain
  • Postural changes, breast growth, and increased time spent sitting or sleeping in awkward positions can lead to upper body discomfort.
  • 🔹 Our approach: Hands-on manual therapy, postural retraining, and gentle mobility work that supports your spine and nervous system.
• 6. Hip and Pelvic Pain
  • Whether it’s hip impingement, gluteal pain, or general pelvic girdle pain, your hips do a lot more work during pregnancy than they’re given credit for.
  • 🔹 Our approach: Glute and core engagement exercises, hip mobility work, and strategies to improve load transfer through the pelvis.
• 7. Foot Pain & Plantar Fasciitis
  • As your weight shifts and arches drop, many pregnant moms experience foot pain, swelling, and even plantar fasciitis.
  • 🔹 Our approach: Foot and ankle mobility, then reprogram new movement, strengthen, then maintain.
