*Pregnancy-pelvic joint separation painful condition during pregnancy

Pelvic joint separation or pubic symphysis separation can occur during pregnancy due to the circulating hormones that relax the joints of the pelvis. This joint is at the front of the body at the pubic area. Separation may be more likely in future pregnancies. Early intervention during pregnancy can help prevent the potentially severe debilitating pain and loss of function that can occur with a separation.

It is important to avoid certain activities such as lunging that stress this joint. A Physical Therapist specializing in women’s health can help teach a woman positions to avoid and ways to strengthen the muscles that support the pelvis. Posture and safer ways to lift and get in and out of bed can also help prevent more problems.
