Physiotherapy: The Missing Link in Pain & Women’s Health
As a Women’s Health Physiotherapist at Sasi Mina Programs, I’ve seen many women silently endure discomfort—shoulder pain, back pain, incontinence—without realizing that physiotherapy could be the life-changing key to relief.
One patient stands out. She came to me after a friend recommended my services for broad ligament pain during pregnancy. She’d tried everything—belts, resting, heat packs—but all worked minimally and temporarily.
“I thought I just had to live with the pain because it’s part of being pregnant. I had no idea someone could actually help me feel better.”
After just a few personalized sessions focusing on manual therapy, posture adjustments, and pelvic support, she started to feel better. Her mobility returned, her sleep improved, and most importantly, she felt empowered.
“I felt like I got a piece of myself back. I could move without wincing. It was such a relief—not just physically, but emotionally too.”

Twin Pregnancy? Even More Reason to Seek Support
Twin pregnancies naturally place greater strain on the body—more weight, faster growth, and increased chances of complications like severe back or pelvic pain, abdominal muscle separation, or shortness of breath due to posture changes.
In cases like these, physiotherapy becomes even more vital. With the right support, twin mamas can:
- ✔ Alleviate pressure on the pelvis and spine
- ✔ Improve breathing and posture
- ✔ Reduce swelling and nerve pain
- ✔ Prepare the body for delivery (vaginal or C-section)
- ✔ Speed up postnatal recovery with tailored care
“I was carrying twins and felt like my body was falling apart. The physio sessions were the only time I felt supported—like someone actually understood what my body was going through.”
