Pelvic Girdle Pain

Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) causes discomfort around the pelvis, particularly during pregnancy or due to trauma. Symptoms include pain in the pelvic area, hips, and lower back, affecting daily activities. Our clinic offers personalised physiotherapy treatments such as tailored exercises, manual therapy, postural advice, and pain management techniques to alleviate pain and improve mobility.

About this condition

Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) refers to discomfort and pain experienced in the pelvic region, often affecting the joints and ligaments around the pelvis. This condition is particularly common during pregnancy due to the increased weight and hormonal changes that cause ligaments to relax. However, PGP can also occur due to trauma, overuse, or underlying medical conditions. The pain can be felt in the front or back of the pelvis, around the hips, and sometimes in the lower back.

What you may be feeling

If you are experiencing pelvic girdle pain, you might notice symptoms such as sharp or aching pain in the pelvic area, lower back, hips, or groin. This pain may be aggravated by activities such as walking, standing, climbing stairs, or changing positions in bed. You might also experience difficulty moving your legs apart or discomfort when putting weight on one leg. The pain can range from mild to severe, affecting your ability to perform daily activities and impacting your quality of life.
