I want to announce something pretty exciting. I have created a 10 page pdf introduction to Pelvic Girdle Pain and the way it affects women around the world and it’s totally FREE.

This free resource is an introduction to my online course ‘Understanding Pain & Coping with Pelvic Girdle Pain made to support you in your experience of PGP which you can join the waiting list for here.

Whilst it cannot take this condition away I hope that through this free download and my upcoming online course I will help you gain some relief and support to ameliorate your symptoms and give you hope and confidence that you can cope with this condition.

 

As you may know, Pelvic Girdle Pain has become a special interest both personally and in my practice as a psychological therapist as a result of my own lived experience. I know how hard it is to live with this condition, how exhausting, anxiety provoking, frustrating, infuriating disappointing and sad you can feel. It brings up a whole range of emotions. It’s such a challenge to be in pain and feel physically limited for so many reasons.

To be pregnant and excited is how many of us might have expected to feel. If PGP started early in the pregnancy, as mine did, or later in the 3rd trimester, it is debilitating and stressful all the same and you may wonder and fear how it will develop and how you will cope.

With this resource I hope to educate women about PGP, the symptoms and share other women’s stories by breaking down a recent, Swedish study by Helen Elden, Ingela Lundgren and, Eva Robertson (2014) which identifies how PGP effects mothers physically and emotionally in 4 key stages.

Why am I so passionate about Pelvic Girdle Pain & maternal mental health?
