During pregnancy there are a whole host of postural problems that can occur due to the increasing excess anterior weight. This can be seen as hip pain, lower back pain, mid-back pain and in many other joints too! This can also be due to the hormone relaxin. This hormone allows the ligaments to relax, and therefore permits joints to move a little more than we'd like, causing pain and irritation of joints. There are many techniques that are safe and gentle, and can be used throughout pregnancy.
