🌸 Embrace Every Step of Your Pregnancy Journey with Comfort and Confidence! 🌸

Pregnancy is a miraculous chapter in a woman’s life, marked by the promise of new beginnings and the anticipation of welcoming a precious life. While it’s a time filled with joy, it can also present physical challenges that require understanding, care, and expert guidance. One common concern that many expectant mothers face is Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP), and we’re here to provide the support you need through the expertise of our Women’s Health Physiotherapist.

🔍

Understanding Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP)

Pelvic Girdle Pain manifests as discomfort in the back of the pelvis, low back, sides, and the pubic symphysis. It’s not uncommon for the pain to extend to various areas, such as the gluteal region, lower abdomen, inner thigh, and even down the back of the thigh and leg. It’s crucial to recognize that while some increased movement in pelvic joints is a normal part of pregnancy, PGP is not about ‘instability.’ Instead, it is often linked to changes in load transfer and muscle function.

👣 How to Reduce and Manage PGP

Your journey to alleviating PGP involves a collaborative effort with our Women’s Health Physiotherapist, who tailors personalized solutions, including:

• Gentle exercises that support pelvic health
• Mobilization and stretching in comfortable positions
• Techniques such as the knees-to-chest stretch and groin stretch

🚶‍♀️ Is Walking Good for PGP?

Maintaining an active lifestyle is essential during pregnancy, but improper strain can lead to discomfort. Our physiotherapists provide personalized advice on suitable walking levels, ensuring you stay active without compromising your well-being.
