What is
Pelvic Girdle Pain?
Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) is a term used to describe pain experienced in the front, back and side of your pelvis. It is caused by a stiffness of the pelvic joints or the joints moving unevenly at either the back or front of the pelvis. It can affect different groups of the general population; in particular pregnant women, low back pain sufferers and sportsmen/women. PGP can be the result of trauma1,2 and is considered to be the main source of pain in up to 30% of low back pain sufferers3,4,5, and up to 50% of pregnant women6,7.
Who is the Sacrofix© Brace suitable for? SacroFix© can be used for the treatment of the following conditions:
Treatment for Pelvic Girdle Pain
