Pregnancy causes alterations in posture and adaptations in the spine. Some bodies fail to allow this adaptation to occur, and this causes pain. This adaptation needs to reverse after pregnancy and sometimes this phase of change fails to occur. Also altered posture and weight leads to muscle weakness and imbalance, and this needs addressing if normal physique and posture are to be regained after the pregnancy is over. Specific, custom-made exercises are taught and progressed, based on each pregnant woman's needs, and her spine is mobilized as is necessary.
