Understanding Pelvic Girdle Pain
What Is Pelvic Girdle Dysfunction?
Pelvic girdle dysfunction describes pain and movement difficulty involving structures around the pelvis. Symptoms can affect the sacroiliac region, pubic area, hips, lower back and surrounding muscles, particularly during weight-bearing and everyday movement.
Pelvic Pain During & After Pregnancy
Pregnancy and childbirth can change how the pelvic region is loaded and controlled. Some patients experience pelvic, lower-back, groin or tailbone discomfort during pregnancy or after delivery.
If your pelvic symptoms occur together with coccyx pain, explore our
Coccydynia & Tailbone Pain Treatment
service.
Possible Contributing Factors
What Can Contribute to Pelvic Girdle Dysfunction?
Pelvic girdle pain can have more than one contributing factor. Assessment helps identify which factors may be relevant to your symptoms and movement limitations.
Pregnancy-Related Changes
Changes in body mechanics, load distribution and the tissues around the pelvis during pregnancy may contribute to pelvic discomfort.
Postpartum Recovery
After childbirth, changes in core and pelvic floor function may influence stability, movement tolerance and daily activity.
Trauma or Injury
A fall, accident or other physical trauma involving the pelvis can contribute to persistent pain and altered movement.
Muscle Imbalance
Differences in strength, mobility or muscular control around the hips, trunk and pelvic region may affect movement.
Posture & Movement Patterns
Prolonged sitting and repetitive movement strategies may influence how load is distributed through the pelvic region.
Repetitive Physical Load
Repetitive activity, sport or physically demanding work may aggravate symptoms in some patients.

Pelvic discomfort can occur during pregnancy, but symptoms that are persistent, severe or limiting normal activity deserve appropriate clinical assessment rather than being automatically dismissed as a normal part of pregnancy.

Patient Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Pelvic Girdle Dysfunction
What is pelvic girdle dysfunction?
Pelvic girdle dysfunction describes pain and movement difficulty involving structures around the pelvis. Symptoms can occur around the lower back, sacroiliac region, hips, groin or pubic area and may be aggravated by everyday movement.
Is pelvic girdle pain common during pregnancy?
Pelvic girdle pain can occur during pregnancy as body mechanics and load around the pelvic region change. Persistent or limiting pain should be appropriately assessed rather than automatically considered normal.
Is pelvic girdle dysfunction treatment safe during pregnancy?
Rehabilitation during pregnancy should be individualized according to the patient's stage of pregnancy, symptoms and clinical needs. Appropriate non-invasive movement and exercise strategies may be considered after assessment.
How many treatment sessions will I need?
There is no fixed number of sessions for every patient. Treatment duration depends on the cause, symptom severity, pregnancy or postpartum status, functional limitations and response to rehabilitation.
Can pelvic girdle dysfunction improve after delivery?
Symptoms may change after childbirth, but recovery varies between individuals. Persistent postpartum pelvic pain may benefit from assessment and an individualized rehabilitation plan.
Can pelvic girdle pain occur with tailbone pain?
Yes. Pelvic girdle symptoms and coccyx pain can occur together in some patients. Assessment can help identify which structures and movement factors may be contributing to the symptoms.
Do I need imaging for pelvic girdle pain?
Imaging is not automatically required for every patient. A healthcare professional can determine whether further investigation is appropriate based on symptoms and examination findings.
