Dear lybrate-user Back pain is very common pre or postnatal complication. Pain radiates upto leg that means your back muscles are getting stiff &weak. One thing I wanna to clear that in starting physio is helpful to reduce stiffness &pain just like medical treatment/medicine. It has no side effects as compared to medicine. Once back pain relief exercises are must to regain strength of muscle and to provide relaxation. My advice to you do back long muscle strechting exercises under supervision of well experienced physiotherapist or you can consult me too. Take hot formentation daily. Avoid prolonge time sitting or standing positions. Take mini breaks while working.
