Manual Therapy for Pregnancy Related Back Pain

Egypt40 participantsStarted 2024-01-15

Plain-language summary

More than 50% of women experience pain in the lumbopelvic area during pregnancy. The prevalence of pain increases with the duration of pregnancy. Trunk muscles are needed to sustain low levels of activity for an extended duration. Preventing muscles from fatiguing is very important. Manual therapy techniques can minimize loading of the spine while improving muscular endurance and preventing fatigue. Moreover, inhibition of the trigger points of the spinal musculature is an important factor to consider.
