Pelvic Girdle Pain
Physiotherapy support for pregnancy-related pelvic pain, pubic pain, hip pain and discomfort with walking, stairs or turning in bed.
Pelvic girdle pain can make everyday movement feel harder than it should, especially during pregnancy or after birth. Physiotherapy can help you understand what is contributing to your pain and build a practical plan for movement, comfort and strength.
What this is
What is pelvic girdle pain?
Pelvic girdle pain is pain around the pelvis, hips, pubic bone, lower back or sacroiliac joints. It is common during pregnancy, but it can also continue after birth if your body has not had the right support to recover.
You might notice pain with walking, stairs, rolling in bed, standing on one leg, getting dressed, lifting, turning or getting in and out of the car. Physiotherapy looks at how your body is moving, what is irritating the symptoms, and what can be changed to make daily life feel more manageable.

FAQs
Pelvic girdle pain FAQs
Why does pelvic girdle pain happen during pregnancy?
Pelvic girdle pain can happen as your body adapts to pregnancy. Changes in posture, strength, load, hormones, walking patterns and previous aches or injuries can all play a part. Physiotherapy helps make sense of what is aggravating your symptoms and what can be changed to make daily life feel more manageable.
Will pelvic girdle pain go away after birth?
For some women, symptoms settle after birth. For others, pain can continue because the body is still recovering and there is suddenly a lot of lifting, carrying, feeding and broken sleep. If symptoms are still there, it is worth getting support rather than waiting and hoping it disappears.
Can I still exercise with pelvic girdle pain?
Often, movement can still be part of the plan, but it may need adapting. We can look at what your body tolerates, what tends to flare symptoms, and how to keep you moving without making things feel worse.
Is physiotherapy safe during pregnancy?
Pregnancy physiotherapy is adapted around your stage of pregnancy, symptoms and comfort. The appointment may include talking things through, movement assessment, gentle treatment, exercise advice and practical ways to make walking, stairs, sleep and daily movement easier.
Should I book Pregnancy Physiotherapy or an Initial Physiotherapy Assessment?
If you are new to Coastly, the Initial Physiotherapy Assessment is the best first step. It gives enough time to understand your symptoms, pregnancy stage, movement and goals. After that, any follow-up support can continue as Pregnancy Physiotherapy if needed.
