Pregnancy Shouldn’t Hurt:
7 Pains Physical Therapy Can Help With

Pain is common during pregnancy, but it’s not normal. At Resilient, we help pregnant moms feel strong and supported—without having to just “wait it out.”

Here are 7 common types of pain we treat with prenatal physical therapy—and how we help you move through pregnancy with ease.

1. Low Back Pain

Over 70% of pregnant women experience low back pain, especially in later trimesters. Your core shifts, posture changes, and your spine takes on more stress.

• Pelvic stability exercises
• Manual therapy for pain relief
• Core-safe movement strategies

2. SI Joint Pain

Pain near the back of your hips or low back? SI (sacroiliac) joint dysfunction is common due to hormone changes loosening the joints.

• Pelvic and core strengthening
• Breathing and stability training
• Safe movement modifications

3. Pubic Symphysis Pain

Sharp, stabbing pain in the front of your pelvis while walking, climbing stairs, or rolling in bed? That’s Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD).

• Pelvic alignment techniques
• Hip and glute strengthening
• Mobility guidance for daily movement

4. Round Ligament Pain

Feel a sudden jolt or sharp pain in your lower belly or groin when you move? That’s round ligament pain—and it’s very treatable.

• Position relief strategies
• Gentle movement techniques
• Breathwork for core support

5. Hip & Pelvic Girdle Pain

Your hips take on extra work during pregnancy. Pain here can affect walking, sleeping, or lifting.

• Targeted hip mobility and strength work
• Postural realignment and gait training
• Pelvic balancing exercises

6. Foot Pain & Plantar Fasciitis

Collapsing arches, swollen feet, and foot pain (especially first thing in the morning) are common as your weight and gait change.

• Foot strengthening and arch support
• Soft tissue therapy and release
• Tips for supportive footwear and orthotics

7. Neck & Shoulder Pain

With growing breasts, shifting posture, and side-sleeping, the upper body can get tight and sore fast.

• Posture and ergonomic corrections
• Manual therapy and mobility drills
• Breathwork for tension relief
