5 Tips to Reduce Pre-natal pain
1. Stay active with non impact exercise: Walking, swimming, stationary bike
2. Physio and massage: Regular muscle and joint releases to reduce tension and pain
3. Do Pilates to improve core activation and endurance
4. Sleep on the left side with a pillow between your knees and a pillow under your belly for support.
5. Wear a pelvic support. We highly recommend SRC over the bump shorts

Reduce irritation, not movement Bursitis often flares with repeated irritation or overload. This doesn't mean you should stop moving, gentle movement helps maintain confidence and support recovery. Avoid prolonged pressure This may include lying on the sore side, leaning on elbow, or sitting on hard surfaces for long periods. Simple position changes and added support can significantly reduce symptoms. Settle symptom first, then rebuild strength As pain settles, gradual strengthening improves load tolerance and helps prevent flare-ups. Recovery is about building capacity - not just reducing pain.
