AB The purpose of this article is to review the literature regarding physical therapy services for pregnant women. Specific services discussed are 1) posture evaluation, 2) treatment of musculoskeletal dysfunction, 3) stress management through relaxation training, and 4) exercise physiology application. Increased education of physical therapists about the specific needs of pregnant women will enhance the quality of physical therapy that obstetrical patients receive.
