Pelvic Girdle Pain Physiotherapy in Karachi | SI Joint, Hip & Pubic Pain Rehabilitation

Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) refers to pain around the pelvis—often at the SI joints (back of pelvis), hips, groin, or the pubic symphysis (front pelvic joint). It is common during pregnancy and can also continue postpartum. Many people feel pain while walking, climbing stairs, turning in bed, standing on one leg, or getting in/out of a car. The pelvis may feel unstable or “out of place.”

At Dr Rizwan Physiotherapy Home Service, we provide professional pelvic girdle pain physiotherapy in Karachi with a structured plan to reduce pain, restore pelvic stability, improve hip strength, and make daily activities comfortable again.

How Physiotherapy Helps Pelvic Girdle Pain

PGP improves when the pelvis gets better support from muscles—especially glutes, hips, and deep core. Physiotherapy focuses on stability training, movement correction, posture guidance, and reducing trigger activities during recovery.

• Reduce SI joint and pubic symphysis pain
• Improve pelvic stability and reduce “unstable” feeling
• Improve walking, stairs, and turning in bed comfort
• Strengthen hips and glutes for pelvic support
• Improve deep core control and posture alignment
• Reduce muscle tightness around hips and lower back
• Teach safer daily movement habits to prevent flare-ups

Common Signs of Pelvic Girdle Pain

• Buttock pain near SI joint (one or both sides)
• Groin pain or pubic bone pain
• Pain while turning in bed or getting up from a chair
• Pain on stairs or during long walking
• Limping or waddling gait due to pain
• Pain during one-leg activities (dressing, stepping into car)

Common Triggers That Make PGP Worse

• Standing on one leg (wearing trousers, getting in/out of car)
• Stairs and uneven surfaces
• Long walking, rushing, or carrying heavy loads
• Wide leg positions and deep squats
• Heavy lifting and twisting
