How kt tape can help in your pregnancy

Written By Vanessa Salerno

Musculoskeletal pain is common during pregnancy, especially in the lower back, pelvic girdle, and due to round ligament pain (a stabbing sensation in the lower groin area).

Strategically placed kinesiology tape on the back or abdomen can help alleviate this pain by distributing the weight of a growing belly. Taping can address numerous discomforts associated with pregnancy, including:

  • Low back pain

  • Pain from SPD (symphysis pubis dysfunction)

  • Lower abdominal pain or pressure

  • Pain from abdominal separation

  • Relief from shortness of breath by supporting the diaphragm

  • Decreased pressure on the bladder and pelvic floor

This simple yet effective method can significantly improve comfort during pregnancy.
