Скачать или смотреть Prepare for a SPD pain myth-buster—new research may surprise you!

Expect to have some cognitive dissonance learning about this new research. I sure did! 🤯

I first learned about this from my mentor @dr.sinead PhD who is a global researcher in pelvic health.

A lot of the advice on how to treat pelvic girdle pain (SPD aka Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction is a form of Pelvic Girdle Pain) comes from outdated 2007 guidelines. Turns out it’s not from the hormone relaxin and your pelvis is not mechanically “unstable”. It’s more connected to cortisol, fear, anxiety, stress, and inflammation.

There are many ways to approach improving PGP. Telling women to keep their legs together, to avoid stairs, to avoid lunges & single leg work etc. does not help get to the root of the issue.

Note - did you know a prior traumatic birth increases risk of PGP in a subsequent pregnancy?

This is just the tip of the iceberg!

Grateful for more research that’s being done in this often overlooked area of women’s health!
