Back and leg pain is very common post pregnancy due to change in body's alignment, weight and hence the line of gravity... Best is to start regular graded excercise schedule... and avoid straining the back further... she can join our post pregnancy workout classes which combine the benefits of therapy and yoga both.

Post pregnancy back pains happen due to physiological changes during pregnancy. Core muscle strengthening helps to relieve the pain. Back imprinting is the key exercise to strengthen core muscles. Back imprinting with straight leg raise, knee bends, bridging, cat and camel exercise and bird dog exercises are useful. Correct posture while feeding or lifting the baby and doing other daily chores is important. Hot water fomentation can be taken to relieve pain.
Next Steps
if pain persists contact a physiotherapist for further course of treatment which may involve electrotherapy, posture correction therapy and exercise therapy
