Why come to us for PGP/SPD treatments?

“Over the past 25 years I have had the privilege of treating many women suffering with PGP/SPD, using Classical Osteopathic techniques and rehabilitation exercises that are specifically tailored for each patient.

I first came across the condition in the 1990s when a mother of two arrived at Tunbridge Wells Osteopaths with a 15 year history of severe pelvic girdle pain.

Her debilitated state had been triggered by the traumatic birth of her second child. I looked up the medical classification of SPD, which read that it was a “self limiting condition related to the pregnancy period”. So why was this patient still suffering from SPD and other related symptoms 15 years later? 

On examination I found a long-standing pelvic girdle and spinal column misalignment, with associated chronic dysfunctional ligamentous and muscular tissue changes.

I began treating the patient following the principle Osteopathic aim of reintegrating the pelvis and spinal column by Classical Osteopathic articulatory, soft tissue, and adjustive techniques.
