Pregnancy-Related Back & Pelvic Pain in South Surrey

Back, pelvic, and hip pain are among the most common physical challenges of pregnancy — driven by postural change, ligament laxity, and the growing demands on your core and pelvis.

What it is

Understanding pregnancy-related back & pelvic pain

Back, pelvic, and hip pain are among the most common physical challenges of pregnancy — driven by postural change, ligament laxity, and the growing demands on your core and pelvis. It's common, but it's not something you simply have to push through: safe, effective treatment exists at every stage.

Common symptoms

  • Low back ache that builds through the day
  • Pelvic girdle pain — at the front (pubic) or back (SI joints)
  • Pain rolling in bed, climbing stairs, or standing on one leg
  • Hip and sciatica-type leg discomfort
  • Postural strain in the mid-back and neck

Common causes

  • Postural changes as pregnancy progresses
  • Hormone-related ligament laxity (relaxin)
  • Increased load on the core, pelvis and hips
  • Changes to walking and movement patterns
  • Previous back or pelvic issues aggravated by pregnancy

How we treat it

Our approach at Mvmt Theory

Treatment is adapted to your trimester and comfort: gentle hands-on therapy, safe positioning, pelvic girdle support strategies (including belt fitting advice where useful), and specific exercises that maintain strength without overloading. Our physiotherapists and RMTs work together — massage for symptom relief, physio for the movement and strength side — and postpartum, we help you rebuild safely. We coordinate with your midwife or physician whenever appropriate.
