Brief Summary:
Breastfeeding, though essential for the nourishment and development of newborns, often imposes significant musculoskeletal strain on mothers, particularly in the neck and shoulder regions. Prolonged static postures, repetitive feeding routines, and improper ergonomic positions contribute to mechanical stress, leading to chronic discomfort or pain during the postpartum period Postnatal women frequently assume awkward positions while nursing, such as forward head posture, rounded shoulders, and spinal flexion, which contribute to musculoskeletal dysfunctions . The cumulative load on the musculoskeletal and fascial systems during breastfeeding leads to muscle imbalances, myofascial tightness, and trigger point development.
Detailed Description:
Current physiotherapy interventions emphasize posture education, ergonomic training, and targeted exercises to mitigate this pain. Posture correction exercises aim to improve alignment, decrease strain on muscles and joints, and enhance motor control in the upper quarter . Soft tissue moblization a manual therapy technique targeting fascial layers, has also shown promising results in improving mobility, reducing trigger point activity, and decreasing referred pain.
