Pregnancy is very much an individual journey. Whilst some women will seemingly breeze through their pregnancies, other women may experience a wide range of symptoms that can impact negatively on their quality of life. Physiotherapy is well placed to provide a holistic assessment of an expectant mum, from 12 weeks through to term. 

​

It is increasingly recognised that Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) is not just 'due to the hormones.' There are many factors that contribute or trigger PGP, hence why a physiotherapy assessment can help to develop an individualised and appropriate treatment plan.

​

Conditions may include:

​

• Pelvic Girdle Pain

• Coccyx/ tailbone pain

• Rib pain

• Back pain

• Bladder concerns

• Prolapse

​

Treatment is multifaceted. Examples of treatments include:

​

• Gentle Manual therapy

• Therapeutic Massage 

• Stretches

• Strengthening exercises

• Kinesiotaping 

• Nutritional advice 

• Education

PLEASE DON'T SUFFER IN SILENCE!!!

The Pelvic Partnership have recently published a helpful ebook on PGP.
