How to Manage Pubic Symphysis Pain During Pregnancy
What can we, as Pelvic Floor Therapists do to help you with your pain? We would first do a full body assessment to determine what imbalances could be leading to your pain. Most often this leads to treatment of myofascial release to inner thighs, glutes, and lower abdominals followed by strengthening to create more stability within the front of the pelvis!

We will also provide education on ways we can manage your symptoms other than exercise!
