Physical Therapy Management of Thoracic Pain, Lumbar Pain, and Vasovagal Response During Pregnancy

Discussion: Following a course of physical therapy, the patient demonstrated improved postural awareness, symmetry in the pelvis and ribcage, and proper body mechanics. She was independent with early identification of potential triggers and with prophylactic management of symptoms of vasovagal response. With the assistance of her partner, she was independent with self-management techniques for her pain symptoms. At the final session, she was pain-free in the lumbar and thoracic regions, and had no recurrence of vasovagal symptoms.
