Why is it Important to get Physical Therapy During Pregnancy? 


Many of you might be wondering that physical therapy might be dangerous during pregnancy. However, I want to let you know that you are wrong because if you are going through severe back pain during your pregnancy, your therapist will only refer you to specific exercises at pregnancy care in NYC. At Virtual PT NYC, you will be treated most comfortably because of our well-experienced therapist who has so much experience to get you better. Many experiences that are offered virtually will be safe for pregnant women if done cautiously. If you get pregnancy care in NYC, you will be able to resolve your pain by increasing your core strength when it comes to back pain.  


Causes of Pain During Pregnancy

  • Increase in hormones
  • A change in the body’s center of gravity
  • Gaining additional weight 
  • A decline in posture 
  • Stress


How Can Physical Therapy Treat Pain During Pregnancy?

  • Posture
  • Joint alignment
  • Muscle strength 
  • Flexibility 
  •  Nerve involvement 


Back pain is one of the most common issues because of weight gain and many other reasons. Physical therapy will keep your back strong and might relieve the pain during pregnancy. At Virtual PT NYC you might be asked to do brisk walking, yoga, massage, stretching, etc. A study published in 2014, in the Journal of Orthopedic and Sports Physical Therapy found out that the most effective way to treat back pain for pregnant women was to exercise and give knowledge about activities through physical therapy that will help decrease low back pain. Instead of taking medications like Tynelol or Advil will not give you permanent pain relief. However, taking medication can be harmful for you and your baby. That is why we are here to treat you, so you feel well and energetic naturally without consuming them. Your baby might increase the odds of having some birth defects that may lead to premature birth.
