Pelvic complaints

Pelvic pain can affect your daily life considerably. Pain when walking, a nagging feeling in the lower back or difficulty bending over - it can limit you in work, sport and even relaxation. As an osteopath, I look beyond the location of the pain. Together, we investigate the real cause of your complaints, so that you not only experience relief quickly, but also recover permanently.

What are pelvic complaints?

Pelvic pain occurs when the pelvis, surrounding muscles or joints do not work well together. This may be due to a fall, incorrect posture, pregnancy, childbirth or long-term overuse. Sometimes the cause is even in a completely different place in your body, such as in your spine, abdomen or feet.

Common forms of pelvic pain are:

Pelvic pain during pregnancy (pelvic instability)
Pelvic pain after childbirth
Pelvic complaints in men
Pelvic pain after a fall or injury
Pain in pelvic floor due to tension or strain
Low back and pelvic pain due to incorrect posture or muscle weakness

How does an osteopath look at pelvic pain?
Osteopathy is a manual form of treatment that looks at the whole body as a whole. That means I don't just look at the pelvis, but also at: Freedom of movement of joints - is there a blockage somewhere? Tensions in muscles and connective tissue - could this cause the pelvis to tilt? Function of organs in the abdomen - these can affect pelvic balance. Collaboration of back, hips and pelvic floor: if one part doesn't work properly, the rest will compensate. So together we find the real cause of your pelvic complaints.

Possible causes of your pelvic pain

The reason you suffer from pelvic pain can be different:

Hormonal changes during pregnancy or menopause
Reduced mobility of organs
Wrong posture or overexertion
Fall or accident
Excessive muscle tension in the pelvic floor or lower back
Low back problems radiating to the pelvis

Treating pelvic pain with osteopathy

During treatment, I use gentle mobilisation techniques to restore mobility. These may include:

Correcting pelvic asymmetry
Improving organ motility
Relaxing overworked muscles
Improving blood flow and nerve function
Restoring balance between back, pelvis and pelvic floor

Each treatment is fully tailor-made. We work step by step on your recovery so that your symptoms diminish and stay away.

Are you unsure if osteopathy is for you?

It is understandable that you would like more information before making an appointment. Osteopathy is still relatively unknown to many. Yet it can be a valuable step towards symptom reduction, especially in cases of persistent or unexplained headaches. At an initial consultation, the osteopath discusses your medical history in detail, examines the body and draws up a personalised treatment plan. In doing so, transparency and clear communication are key.
