I waited until 12 weeks to start PT though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/physical-therapy-while-pregnant#post-163963 Sun, 20 May 2012 14:53:00 +0000 Jumpingjacks 163963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is great to hear. I haven't had any PT, but I am already experiencing lower back and hip discomfort at 5w4d. I'm going keep this option in mind if it gets worse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/physical-therapy-while-pregnant#post-163960 Sun, 20 May 2012 14:50:28 +0000 heffalump 163960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nice! I didn't do that, I got massages instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/physical-therapy-while-pregnant#post-162039 Thu, 17 May 2012 18:59:07 +0000 pastemoo 162039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: I did, but it was for an injury from a car accident at 27 weeks. It was very helpful for me, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/physical-therapy-while-pregnant#post-162025 Thu, 17 May 2012 18:53:46 +0000 MamaMoose 162025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I totally recommend it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/physical-therapy-while-pregnant#post-162024 Thu, 17 May 2012 18:53:29 +0000 yoursilverlining 162024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I did. Sounds like I went for exactly what you are going in for, and they had me do pelvic floor exercises also. I went twice a week for a few months, and there definitely was improvement (plus the twice a week half hour PT massage was pretty sweet, too! teehee).</p> <p>Other things that helped my hip/pelvic pain were getting a big exercise ball to sit on, and seeing an osteopathic prenatal chiro with had me take DHA in large doses (my OB referred me to him, and OK'd the DHA use in that dose). My pain was partially caused by inflammation, which the DHA reduced.</p> <p>Good luck with PT, hope it helps!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/physical-therapy-while-pregnant#post-162014 Thu, 17 May 2012 18:51:44 +0000 chopsuey 162014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awesome! I haven't, but if my back continues to hurt I'm totally gonna get some PT! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/physical-therapy-while-pregnant#post-161984 Thu, 17 May 2012 18:46:05 +0000 MamaMoose 161984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a lot of hip/back pain and my OB referred me to a physical therapist. After just a week I'm already feeling an improvement. And they are going to work with me on a lot of pelvic floor exercises so that should help my labor experience be a little easier. Bonus! Anyone else done PT during pregnancy? </p>
