Don't just take your swelling ankles sitting down, give prenatal physical therapy a try and ease the distress and discomfort so you can enjoy your pregnancy with as little pain as possible.
As your pregnancy progresses your body changes, obvious, right? As your body structure changes your internal organs shift to make room for your baby and your bones start to change as well.

Working with a physical therapist can help alleviate this pain as they administer treatments and offer exercises to help you adjust around your changing body.
