Pregnancy Back Pain Physiotherapy in Karachi | Prenatal Posture, Mobility & Pain Relief Rehab

Back pain during pregnancy is very common due to posture changes, weight shift, ligament laxity, weak core support, and tight hip muscles. Many women feel pain in the lower back, pelvis, or around the SI joints—especially with standing, walking, stairs, turning in bed, or long sitting. With the right physiotherapy plan, pregnancy back pain can often improve significantly.

At Dr Rizwan Physiotherapy Home Service, we provide professional pregnancy back pain physiotherapy in Karachi with pregnancy-safe exercises, posture correction, mobility training, and daily activity guidance to reduce pain and keep you active safely.
