Physical therapy ultrasound treatment?

Monica

Hi beautiful mamas! I’m having terrible hip, leg and some back pain, especially at night, and my OB referred me to a physical therapist. My first day was last week and she did ultrasound therapy on my lower back (not the diagnostic ones where you can see the baby). Has anyone else had this done?? I feel like I should trust the therapist, she knows I’m pregnant and works with pregnant women. But I came home and Googled it (mistake?) and there were so many articles about how not to do ultrasound therapy on pregnant women. I’ve felt the baby move a lot since then, so I’m not as worried, but I’m still concerned for my next appointment if she continues to want to do it. I’m thinking about telling her I’d rather not.

Have any of you received ultrasound therapy while pregnant? For those of you who are doing PT, is it mostly just massage and exercises? I’d love to know! Thanks 💕
