Strong Mama, Safe Baby: Why More Mothers Are Turning to Chiro & Physio Care
Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it also brings significant changes to a woman’s body. Many expectant mothers in Malaysia are now turning to prenatal chiropractic care and physiotherapy to manage discomfort and support a healthier, smoother pregnancy. With techniques like the Webster Technique and targeted pelvic floor exercises, moms-to-be are experiencing better sleep, less pain, and improved mobility—all leading to safer, more comfortable births.
Still Struggling with Backaches and Pelvic Pressure? Here’s What Most Pregnant Women Don’t Realize
It’s estimated that over 50% of pregnant women experiences some form of lower back or pelvic pain. These discomforts are caused by hormonal changes, a growing belly, and a shifting center of gravity.
- Back pain during pregnancy is often due to increased spinal curvature and ligament laxity.
- Hip and pelvic pressure may come from the expanding uterus and misalignments in the pelvis.
- Daily activities like walking, standing, or sleeping can worsen these pains, especially in the third trimester.
If you’re searching for pregnancy back pain relief, chiropractic and physiotherapy treatments provide natural, non-invasive solutions.
What Is the Webster Technique—and Could It Make Your Pregnancy Smoother?
Prenatal chiropractic care is gaining traction among Malaysian mothers who want a more comfortable pregnancy and delivery. One of the most effective approaches is the Webster Technique — a specific chiropractic method that focuses on aligning the pelvis and reducing stress on the uterus and ligaments.
Benefits of the Webster Technique:
- Reduces pelvic misalignment that can cause pain and restrict baby’s movement.
- Promotes optimal fetal positioning, potentially lowering the risk of breech births.
- Can contribute to shorter, less complicated labor.
At TAGS Chiropractic, our certified chiropractors are trained in prenatal care, using gentle, targeted adjustments to support both mother and baby safely.
Physiotherapy’s Role in Strengthening the Core & Pelvic Floor
Beyond chiropractic, physiotherapy during pregnancy is essential for preparing the body for childbirth and recovery. Physiotherapists focus on improving core stability and pelvic floor strength — two key areas that affect balance, posture, and delivery outcomes.
Why is this important?
- Weak core muscles may contribute to back pain and poor posture.
- A strong pelvic floor reduces the risk of incontinence, prolapse, and diastasis recti (abdominal separation).
- Postpartum recovery is faster and smoother when the pelvic floor is activated properly during pregnancy.
We offer pelvic floor exercises for pregnancy that are safe, effective, and tailored to each mother’s needs.
Is It Safe? What Moms Need to Know About These Treatments
Understandably, many mothers ask: “Is it safe to get chiropractic or physio care while pregnant?” The answer is yes — when performed by trained professionals.
Safety Guidelines:
- Prenatal chiropractic care uses modified tables and gentle adjustments designed specifically for pregnancy.
- Pregnancy physiotherapy involves exercises that avoid pressure on the abdomen and monitor heart rate and blood pressure.
At TAGS, patient safety is our top priority. Our multidisciplinary team ensures every treatment is suitable for the mother’s stage of pregnancy and health condition.
