What Causes Pelvic Pain?

The pelvis works closely with the pelvic floor muscles, hips, lower back and sacroiliac (SI) joints. Because of this, pelvic pain can develop from multiple contributing factors.

Many people wait for symptoms to settle naturally. However, untreated pelvic pain can lead to stiffness, protective movement patterns and reduced confidence in activity. A professional movement assessment helps clarify the cause and guide treatment.

Common causes we treat include:

iconPelvic floor dysfunction
iconPelvic girdle pain (PGP)
iconPregnancy-related pelvic pain
iconPostnatal pelvic pain
iconSacroiliac joint irritation
iconHip and lower back contribution
iconMuscle overload and tension
iconNerve sensitivity
iconPost-surgical rehabilitation
iconPersistent pelvic pain

A professional movement assessment helps clarify the cause and guide treatment.

  • Discuss your symptoms, lifestyle and activity levels
