Pregnancy changes the load on a spine faster than it changes anything else. The pelvis widens, ligaments soften, and the low back and hips absorb the difference, which is why pelvic and low-back pain is one of the most common complaints of the second and third trimesters. Care is adapted as you go, with side-lying positions, supported tables, and gentler techniques throughout.
Afterwards the load changes again: feeding postures, carrying a car seat on one side, and a core that needs time to come back. Postpartum visits focus on the mid-back, neck, and pelvis, and on the handful of exercises worth doing when time is short. Everything is matched to where you are in recovery, and nothing gets pushed before the body is ready for it.
