Back Pain Pregnancy Part 2: Biomechanical Changes, Diastasis Recti & Pregnancy Yoga.

When does back pain start in pregnancy? In our previous episode we discussed how many women experience back pain during the early stages of pregnancy as a result of physiological changes that can impact soft tissues resulting in an increase in the risk of low back pain and low back injury. As pregnancy develops there are physical changes that influence the biomechanics of the lower back, as well as the muscles of the abdominal wall. So how do these changes increase the risk of low back pain and what can be done to manage it?

In this episode we discuss back pain pregnancy during the second and third trimester. We give consideration to the changing biomechanics as a result of weight gain whilst discussing the incidence of diastasis recti during pregnancy. We talk about diastasis recti repair, diastasis recti treatment and diastasis recti exercises. We also discuss pregnancy yoga and give some direction regarding the activities that should be avoided for good back health. Finally, we discuss low back pain risks postpartum and identify some key factors to consider to maintain back health and enhance core strength.

Highlights

Focussed weight gain shifts the centre of gravity as pregnancy develops and results in increased activation of the low back extensors, which increases disc compression. However, there are strategies to help reduce extensor activity and relax these muscles to help reduce discomfort. The incidence of diastasis recti is more common than appreciated, and often misunderstood so we provide clarity on the problem and identify diastasis recti exercises to avoid.
