During pregnancy, physical and hormonal changes can affect musculoskeletal system, and more than half of all pregnant women suffer from back pain or other musculoskeletal discomfort. Research shows that hands-on treatment and a specific prenatal exercise program is highly effective in dealing with these discomforts.
