Additionally, there are some exercises
your client can perform, which
have been shown to reduce pubic
symphysis pain (Depledge et al, 2005).
[See sidebar on page 13.] All exercises
should be held for five seconds, repeated
five times, and performed three
times per day and in a seated position.
The good news is that this type of
pain usually resolves on its own after
birth. However, if the pain worsens or
these initial exercises do not work, there
are additional exercises and treatments
your client can learn or receive from an
experienced Women’s Health physical
therapist
