Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) can be a standalone diagnosis or include conditions such as sacroiliac joint pain, tailbone pain, and symphysis pubis dysfunction. The pelvis requires both stability and movement, which can lead to pain when this balance is disrupted. Treatment often focuses on external muscles and joints, but the pelvic floor also plays a crucial role. At Cultivate Pelvic Health and Pelvic Vitality, we assess the muscles above (abdomen and back), below (glutes and legs), and in between (pelvic floor) to determine if the joints are hypermobile (too much mobility), hypomobile (not enough mobility), or a combination of both.
How does Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy help treat Pelvic Girdle Pain?
Our experienced clinicians, Sumer and Lauren, perform a thorough assessment to create a personalized treatment plan, which may include manual therapy, targeted exercises, and biofeedback. Manual therapy techniques such as soft tissue mobilization and myofascial release help improve joint mobility and reduce pain. Specific exercises strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and enhance pelvic alignment. We also provide education on proper body mechanics and posture, empowering you to manage your condition effectively and prevent future flare-ups. Regular follow-up sessions ensure ongoing progress and lasting relief, significantly reducing pelvic girdle pain and improving your quality of life.
