Pelvic girdle pain

So this conversation is a full circle moment for me, and it might be a turning point for you if you're pregnant and hurting.

Sinead is a physiotherapist and PhD and associate clinical professor at McMaster University who teaches across medicine, nursing, and rehab science and the researcher whose work is retraining clinicians around the world to treat pelvic girdle pain for what it is.

About half of pregnant women deal with this pain, and most of them have been handed a story about loose ligaments and an unstable pelvis that the evidence buried back in 2012.

In this episode, she explains why twins carry more than three times the relaxin with no extra risk, what the real risk factors are, the three steps of care that work, and how she treats women from all over the world through a screen.

I take it back to my clients, to my team.

And, you know, it's a great opportunity to have these conversations.

And today I'd love to talk a lot about pelvic girdle pain, because when I think about pelvic girdle pain and think about people who are investing time and research and have great knowledge, I think about you, Sinead.

Well, I'm so glad because this I feel like has been the thing I have been really trying to sort of shift things to the tipping point, ultimately for the betterment of, you know, the women that we all have the blessing to be able to serve and help.
