During pregnancy this joint widens in preparation for delivery, and some women experience pain and dysfunction as a result of the expansion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Factors may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the pelvic girdle joints moving unevenly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a change in the activity of the muscles of your tummy, pelvic girdle, hip and pelvic floor, which can lead to the pelvic girdle becoming less stable and therefore painful<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a previous fall or accident that has damaged your pelvis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a small number of women may have pain in the pelvic joints caused by hormones <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Occasionally, the position of the baby may produce symptoms related to PGP.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Potential risk factors for Symphisis Pubis Dysfunction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all women have any identifiable causes and risk factors for symphysis pubis dysfunction, but for some, the following physical risks may apply:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a history of previous low-back and pelvic girdle pain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>previous injury to the pelvis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>more than one pregnancy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a hard physical job or workload\/awkward working conditions\/poor working postures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PGP in a previous pregnancy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>increased body weight and body mass index before and\/or by the end of pregnancy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>increased mobility of other joints in the body<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The following are *not* identifiable risk factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>time since last pregnancy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>age and height<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the contraceptive pill<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>smoking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>breastfeeding<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While most cases resolve after pregnancy, the condition can linger after giving birth.

This joint is vulnerable during pregnancy. Both raised levels of the hormone relaxin and pressure from your baby cause the joint to become more elastic and to widen in preparation for birth. This makes the whole pelvic joint less stable. The pain of SPD is not necessarily related to the degree of separation but owes more to the instability of the whole pelvis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can you do to relieve discomfort from SPD\/PGP?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The MUTU System Program is safe and beneficial during a healthy, low-risk pregnancy. The 12 Week Program is safe for pregnant women. It focuses on alignment, muscle stretching and release, core and pelvic floor muscle connection and engagement, and includes low impact, more intensive workouts for you to progress to when you\u2019re ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MUTU System programs are recommended and endorsed by specialist Physiotherapists and Industry experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More <a href=\"https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/en-us\/mutu-pregnancy\/pregnancy-pelvic-girdle-pain-symphysis-pubis-dysfunction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">information on SPD here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/en-us\/mutu-pregnancy\/exercises-for-symphysis-pubis-dysfunction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Exercises for SPD<\/a> here<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*Pelvic Obstetric and Gynaecological Physiotherapy 2018<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are no clear causes and risk factors for symphysis pubis dysfunction or pelvic girdle pain during pregnancy.
