Badlands Therapy Services treat individuals of all ages.  Physical Therapy is designed to help you in your ability to move, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent disability.  In additional, physical therapy works to prevent the loss of mobility before it occurs by developing fitness-and wellness-oriented programs for healthier and more active lifestyles. 

As your physical body changes and accommodates to the needs of your growing baby, you may experience discomfort and aches and pains. Physical therapy is an effective way to help you manage your pain and can offer you a variety of ways to make your pregnancy more comfortable. During your pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, your back may start to feel uncomfortable. This can be due to Relaxin (a hormone released during pregnancy), which causes the ligaments to be a little lax and can pull the lower back and pelvis in different directions, putting strain on different areas and causing pelvic, hip, or back pain. This can also be due to the pressure of the baby, especially if you are having multiples. Other musculoskeletal issues that can arise during pregnancy are nerve compression syndromes, such as carpal tunnel, tendonitis, circulatory problems, spinal problems, or pelvic joint pain (such as osteitis pubis, coccyx/tailbone pain, groin pain, or sacroiliac pain). Others include foot/ankle pain, abdominal pain (such as scar pain and diastasis recti), heartburn, morning sickness/nausea, urinary problems, and blocked milk ducts.
