In this episode Becky and Jessica dive into one of the most common (and most annoying!) pregnancy pains: pubic symphysis pain. As pelvic floor PTs—and one of us who felt it firsthand—we’re breaking down what it is, why it happens, and most importantly: how to manage it.
What You’ll Hear:
📍 What exactly pubic symphysis pain is
🧬 Why it happens during pregnancy (hint: it’s not just hormones!)
🤔 The difference between pubic pain, lightning crotch, and groin pain🛠️ Real strategies for relief: movement tips, stretches, and smart modifications
⏰ Why early treatment matters—and how to know when to see a pelvic floor PT
🤰 Pubic symphysis pain is common—but not something you have to just live with
💪 A mix of tension, weakness, and alignment issues usually contributes
🔄 Modifications (like how you roll in bed or put on pants) can make a huge difference
🧘♀️ Early support from a pelvic floor PT can help reduce pain now and set you up for a smoother postpartum
