What is pelvic girdle pain?

Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) is a common and often debilitating condition during pregnancy, affecting up to one in five pregnant women. It causes pain in the pelvis, lower back, hips and sometimes the inner thighs, and can make simple activities like walking, climbing stairs and turning over in bed extremely difficult.

PGP occurs when the joints of the pelvis, the sacroiliac joints and the pubic symphysis, become less stable under the influence of pregnancy hormones and the growing demands on the body. It can develop at any stage of pregnancy and varies considerably in severity.

The good news is that PGP responds well to osteopathic treatment, and most women find significant improvement with a course of targeted care.

Common symptoms

Pain in the front of the pelvis (pubic symphysis)
Pain in the sacroiliac joints or lower back
Pain that is worse walking, particularly over longer distances
Difficulty with stairs or getting in and out of a car
Pain when turning over in bed
A clicking or grinding sensation in the pelvis
Pain that is worse with single-leg activities
Difficulty standing on one leg, such as when dressing

How we can help

Osteopathic treatment for PGP focuses on balancing the pelvis, reducing joint irritation and addressing the muscular imbalances and tension that develop around the pelvis and lower back. Treatment is gentle and adapted to pregnancy at every stage.

We also provide practical advice on activity modification, positions to avoid, sleeping support and exercises to manage symptoms between appointments. For many women, this combination of treatment and self-management makes a significant difference to day-to-day comfort.

Frequently asked questions

Will pelvic girdle pain go away after birth?

For most women, PGP improves significantly after birth as hormone levels return to normal and the load on the pelvis reduces. However, some women find symptoms persist postnatally and may benefit from continued osteopathic care.

Is it safe to treat PGP with osteopathy during pregnancy?

Yes. Osteopathic treatment for PGP during pregnancy is safe and well-tolerated. We use only gentle, pregnancy-appropriate techniques and always adapt our approach to your stage of pregnancy and current symptoms.
