Physical therapy can be beneficial in treatment of musculoskeletal dysfunctions which occur during pregnancy and the postpartum period. During pregnancy, a woman's body goes through many changes that may also bring pain and discomfort. Physical therapy can be an important part of managing pain relating to pregnancy, allowing women to more fully enjoy the pregnancy experience. Physical therapy may also benefit women in the postpartum period. Many women continue to have back pain and pelvic pain or problems post-delivery.
