Your Energy Isn’t Just About Sleep — It’s About How You Sit
Pregnancy can be beautiful, but if you’re dealing with pregnancy discomfort in KL, you know it’s not all “glow.”
Some days, it just feels hard — your back aches, your pelvis feels like it’s falling apart, and you can’t sleep, sit, or stand for long.
At Movement Chiropractic, we meet expecting mums every week who feel exactly like this.
The good news? You don’t have to just “deal with it” — there are gentle, non-invasive ways to help your body feel more supported during this time.
Why Does Pregnancy Cause So Much Discomfort?
Your body is doing something incredible — but it’s also under pressure:
Weight shifts: As your belly grows, your centre of gravity moves forward, placing extra stress on your lower back and pelvis— which can feel like a dull ache that follows you everywhere.
Ligament changes: The hormone relaxin softens your ligaments, making joints less stable — sometimes even simple walking can feel wobbly.
Postural strain: You may notice your shoulders rounding or your pelvis tilting forward — and it can cause neck or shoulder tension by the end of the day.
Together, these create common issues like:
Pelvic pain or pressure
Hip discomfort
Rib tightness (especially in later months)
Trouble sleeping due to body tension
How Chiropractic Care Supports a More Comfortable Pregnancy
As your pregnancy progresses, your body transforms in beautiful — and sometimes surprisingly uncomfortable — ways.
Your pelvis begins to shift and widen, preparing to welcome your baby. At the same time, your body releases hormones like relaxin and progesterone — nature’s way of softening your ligaments so your pelvis can open during birth.
The challenge? When those ligaments become too loose, your joints lose stability. Suddenly, simple movements — walking, turning in bed, climbing stairs — can feel achy or unsteady.
Gentle pregnancy chiropractic care helps restore pelvic balance, easing pressure on your lower back and giving your baby more space to move comfortably.
Your spine and nervous system are also working overtime to adapt. When certain joints lose mobility, the nerves that coordinate your muscles and organs can become irritated. By improving spinal motion, chiropractic adjustments help your nervous system work more freely — so your body can focus on nurturing life instead of constantly fighting discomfort.
Your muscles hold on tighter than you realise — especially around your hips, glutes, and lower back. Targeted soft tissue therapy releases this tension, making it easier to walk, change positions in bed, or simply relax without that constant pull.
And then there’s your breathing. As your belly grows, your ribs and mid-back can feel restricted, limiting how deeply you can inhale. A few gentle adjustments can create more breathing space, allowing you to take fuller, calming breaths — which benefits both you and your baby.
