Webinar 5: Addressing (Back) Pain in Labour and Delivery
Pregnant women are worried about the pain that they will experience during labour and delivery.
Women with PGP and LBP have a heightened sense of worry and fear of fragility.
Learn how to apply pain neuroscience education to this special patient population in order to empower this next generation of mothers.
Physiotherapists play a key role in helping women understand how to manage their pain during labour and delivery, especially when they have concurrent lumbopelvic pain.
Join Ibbie, a registered physiotherapist, pelvic health physiotherapist, and certified doula as she explores this topic from a place of personal and clinical experience.

- Overview of the biopsycosocial contributors to the experience of low back pain during pregnancy, labour, and delivery
