There are various ways to manage pain caused by pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain (PGP). Here are a few tips: ✔Request a referral, or find a practitioner from our recommended list, for hands on treatment. This will address the cause of pain, and ultimately reduce it. ✔Try hot or cold therapy. Apply ice or heat packs to painful areas, or try a warm bath if it is accessible to you. ✔Make changes to your day to day activities where possible. Ask for help where possible, get groceries delivered, carry a backpack rather than a shoulder bag. ✔Discuss pain relief options with your healthcare practitioners. There may be options suitable for use in pregnancy if needed ✔Listen to your body. If you need to rest, rest. If you find this uncomfortable and prefer movement, then move around frequently to prevent stiffness. Importantly, always stay within the limits of your pain.
