S2, Ep 8: Pelvic Girdle Pain Pregnancy – What You Need to Know

2 Comments October 17, 2022

In today’s episode of Bun in the Oven Hollie is joined by the wonderful, knowledgeable, and passionate Dr Sinéad Dufour to talk all about pelvic girdle pain pregnancy. Pelvic Girdle Pain (or PGP) can be misdiagnosed, misunderstood, and left untreated, but it doesn’t need to be that way. Sinéad has worked tirelessly to help raise awareness of the evidence around PGP and is leading the way in how we think about PGP.

 

In this episode Hollie and Sinéad discuss:

 

► What pelvic girdle pain actually is

► How we might treat pelvic girdle pain

► Why treatment for pelvic girdle pain will vary for each individual

► How physical activity can benefit pelvic girdle pain

► What to do if you think you might be suffering with pelvic girdle pain during pregnancy

 

I hope you find this episode useful if you are suffering with pregnancy related pelvic girdle pain, or know someone who is, and it helps more women get the support and treatment they so deserve.

    I’m a pre and postnatal personal trainer and found this really informative and interesting. I’m always trying to keep up to date with information on pelvic girdle pain as I have many clients who have suffered from it. Highly recommend for anyone working with pre and post natal women. Thankyou.
