Pelvic pain can be absolutely debilitating, and is unfortunately relatively common. Everything in the body is connected, though almost no area is quite as connected as the pelvis – so if your pelvic symptoms don’t respond to pelvic floor physiotherapy and pelvic floor exercises, then it might be worth looking at your body a bit more globally.
In this country and beyond, there are many physiotherapists who specialise in treating pelvic floor dysfunctions, who do internal examinations of the muscles that control the vagina and rectum. (I am not one of those physios, so please don’t come to me expecting the rubber glove treatment – if you need an internal specialist, I may be able to recommend someone.)
While of course there are lots of local pelvic issues that can cause pelvic pain, for example, pregnancy, hormones, pelvic inflammatory disease, urinary tract infections, endometriosis, adhesions etc).
There are also non-pelvic areas and issues that I find frequently upset the pelvis including:
Understanding the cause of pelvic girdle pain all comes down to going through a thorough assessment. Sometimes the problem really is local and requires internal assessment and a treatment plan, or even surgery if there’s a structural defect that physiotherapy can’t fix – and sometimes your pelvis will be the “victim” of an issue elsewhere, such as the (extremely non-exhaustive) list on the left.
It’s completely fine and sensible to get an internal assessment first, and/or to see a specialist doctor such as a gynaecologist or a urologist to exclude structural causes for your pelvic pain – in fact, I often find it extremely helpful to have had such issues ruled out before I look at you!
Follow-up sessions if required are usually an hour – it’s important to me to be very thorough when it comes to pelvic floor physiotherapy, as I want to be the last pelvis physiotherapist you need.
As an expert in pelvic girdle pain physiotherapy in London, I regularly write about injuries, treatment and assessment techniques.
Is your pelvic pain really coming from your pelvis, or is it really reacting to an issue elsewhere in your body?
