Pelvic Girdle Pain
At MHV Clinic, we offer specialised osteopathic treatments to alleviate Pelvic Girdle Pain Relief (PGP) and restore your well-being. Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) is a common condition affecting many individuals, particularly during pregnancy. It manifests as pain in the lower back, hips, and pelvic region, often impacting mobility and quality of life.
Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) is a broad term that describes discomfort in the joints, muscles, and ligaments around the lower back and pelvic area. It encompasses various conditions, including symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD). It can affect anyone—though it most commonly appears during pregnancy, known as pregnancy‐related pelvic girdle pain, and can linger into the postpartum period.
There are many causes of pelvic girdle pain, but common factors include:
When these imbalances occur, it can lead to lower back and pelvic pain that disrupts everyday activities.
People experience pelvic girdle pain differently. Some feel a constant ache, while others notice sharp twinges, especially with sudden movements such as standing up, turning in bed, or climbing stairs. For many, PGP can restrict mobility, interfere with exercise routines, and cause significant discomfort.
At MHV, our treatment approach is designed to provide comprehensive pelvic girdle pain relief tailored to each individual. Our experienced clinicians use various techniques, including:
Pregnancy often brings significant hormonal shifts and postural changes, which can contribute to PGP. Symptoms can continue or evolve even after giving birth, resulting in postpartum pelvic pain. Our specialists support patients through every stage—from prenatal care designed to maintain pelvic stability to postpartum programs focused on recovery and strengthening. By combining manual therapy, individualised exercise, and supportive equipment where needed, we help you return to daily activities and exercise routines without discomfort.
