Pelvic Girdle Pain / Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction

You’re pregnant and looking forward to doing all the pregnancy things, only to find that painful and limited movement is cramping your style!

Pelvic girdle pain affects your ability to work, move and often enjoy your pregnancy. There is the misconception that pelvic pain is a normal part of pregnancy and will only get better when your baby arrives. We disagree. Pelvic girdle pain is actually quite treatable!

How services can help

We start by getting to know you and understanding your experiences. We want to understand why you have pain and why your movement is restricted. We evaluate how your whole body is moving and work with you to put together a customised treatment programme.

This may include hands-on therapy, education on how to move throughout your day, home exercises, strengthening and mobility training, strategies to decrease tension in the pelvis or advise on support garments such as pelvic belts or bands.

Our goal is to help you move well, move often and move without pain so that you can focus your energy on what matters – getting ready to meet your baby!

We always recommend you speak with your GP about any symptoms you are experiencing. However, you do not need a referral to see us. Simply get in touch or click the link below to book your first consultation.

Excellent physiotherapist, I felt so confident that Mel knew the resolution to my neck pain and she fixed it. I now also take her pilates classes. I’ve been practising pilates for almost 10 years and I have never experienced a better teacher who ensures it’s safe while also allowing you to achieve the level you feel comfortable at. Thank you.

I’ve been working with Mel for chronic lower back pain. The initial assessment was really insightful, she was able to identify the causes and provided me with exercises that provided relief and helped to build strength straight away. I’ve done a lot of yoga and Pilates in the past but working 1 on 1 has helped bring a new level of awareness of my body and starting to undo the habits causing my pain. Mel’s great to work with, really approachable and a great motivator. I would highly recommend her!

Mel’s Pilates class is the highlight of my week. It has really helped to reduce my lower back problems and my core strength has definitely improved. The classes are friendly and fun, as well as progressive, so you can always push yourself harder if you want to. They’re suitable for all abilities, and everyone is made to feel welcome. Would highly recommend.

Mel has been treating me since the birth of my second child. I started seeing her 6 weeks post partum for pelvic floor issues. Mel has been fantastic at listening to me and tailoring my treatment to my goals. I would definitely recommend seeing Mel during pregnancy and post partum. I feel so much more confident and stronger thanks to Mel.

Saw Mel for lower back pain. Diagnosed the problem and was very thorough, had follow up appointment and felt so much better straight away. Mel was amazing at treating it. Wanted some exercise’s to strengthen my back as well and Mel took the time to work through them with me, she was so thorough and patient also very knowledgeable. Mel was recommended to me and I can see why

I have been seeing Mel for both physio and pilates. She has helped me to get back to running postnatally, and with a much stronger body than before. She has a realistic view of motherhood and the challenges that come with it, so will meet you where you are with understanding and a positive attitude. I highly recommend.
