You are probably reading this because you, or someone you know, has pelvic joint pain related to pregnancy. This is known as Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) and was formerly known as Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD). PGP is very treatable and we aim to provide you with information about how to find the right management and treatment for your condition and your pain. It is safe to treat PGP both during and after pregnancy, and we would encourage you to seek help from a therapist with experience in treating PGP with manual therapy.
Many women are told that PGP is a rare condition and that there is little research-based evidence available, but in fact there is a huge amount of interest in the condition, and this is growing. Around one in five women is affected by PGP which is why it is important that women understand what the condition is and seek treatment as early as possible. |
