1. Hormonal Changes.During pregnancy, our body releases a hormone called relaxin which loosens the ligaments of the pelvis to make it easier for the baby to pass through the birth canal.
2. Additional Weight. As the baby grows in the womb it changes the centre of gravity of our body. The extra weight and shape will move our centre of gravity forwards, often causing an anterior tilt of the pelvic bones.
3. Increase Demand On The Pelvis. Most of us have a dominant side, so one leg is better at standing and one leg is better at kicking. This means that the demand on the pelvis is sometimes asymmetrical, which can cause one side of the pelvis to rotate forwards more than the other side.

Our physiotherapists will run tests and structure a rehabilitation plan to help you with your recovery.

In the initial assessment, our physiotherapists will run a comprehensive physical examination to evaluate the complexity of the pelvic dysfunction.

These include investigating the patient's history and physical activities, range of movement tests, checking for palpation over the SI joints, and orthopaedic provocation tests.

The initial aim of treating pelvic pain is to reduce the inflammation in the affected area, followed by mobility improving activities such as manipulation and exercise therapy. Our physios will guide you through these processes, advise you on lifestyle changes, and educate you on the ideal exercises and stretches to do to make your recovery as smooth as and as quick as possible.
