Experiencing pelvic girdle pain (PGP) during pregnancy can be challenging. At Hampstead Osteopathy, we specialize in providing effective PGP treatment to help expectant mothers find relief and enjoy their pregnancy journey.

Understanding Pelvic Girdle Pain and the Need for Effective PGP Treatment

Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) encompasses discomfort in the pelvic region, affecting the pubic symphysis, sacroiliac joints, and surrounding muscles and ligaments. Hormonal changes, weight gain, and postural shifts contribute to this common pregnancy complaint. While it’s prevalent, pelvic girdle pain should not be considered a normal part of pregnancy. Seeking professional pelvic girdle pain treatment can significantly improve your comfort and quality of life.

Our Approach to Pelvic Girdle Pain Treatment

At Hampstead Osteopathy, our PGP treatment approach begins with a comprehensive assessment. We understand that each woman’s experience with pelvic girdle pain is unique. Our assessment involves:

• A detailed discussion of your symptoms and medical history.
• A physical examination, including palpation and movement tests, to evaluate posture, pelvic alignment, joint mobility, and muscle function.

This thorough assessment allows us to create a personalized pelvic girdle pain treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. We prioritize gentle and safe osteopathic techniques, ensuring the well-being of both mother and baby.
