Back Pain Pregnancy Part 1: Back Pain During Pregnancy & Strategies To Prevent It.

Many women experience back pain during pregnancy. Indeed, back pain pregnancy statistics suggest that 85% of women will experience back pain at some stage during pregnancy. So, should women simply accept they will experience back pain during pregnancy or are there strategies that can be employed to reduce the risk of pain and even avoid it altogether? 

In this episode we discuss some of the physiological reasons why back pain commonly occurs during pregnancy and highlight the best practices that can be employed to help to avoid pain. We give considerations to the tissues that are often the source of pain and discuss preventative measures to minimise risk, as well as highlighting why some people suffer more than others. 

Highlights

We discuss why some people will be more prone to injury than others and what you can do to minimise your risk of back pain. We discuss hormonal changes that begin in the early stages of pregnancy and how they impact the soft tissues of the low back, contributing to the risk of lower back pain and injury. Finally, we give consideration to the exercises that can be considered to support the back, and build resilience.
