Please note  we are currently fundraising to help with costs for a telephone enquiry line but in the meantime if you would like to talk to us on any matter related to pelvic girdle pain please add a contact  telephone number to your email and we would be happy to call you back.

We have been busy over the summer months raising funds to produce posters and 5000 basic information leaflets. We are also having 10,000 flyer leaflets printed to inform people of our charity which we intend to distribute to maternity units, GP surgeries, physiotherapists, orthopaedic surgeons, pain clinics, chiropracters, osteopaths and any other interested parties.

  These leaflets and posters are available free of charge  by emailing info@pelvicinstability.org.uk with your full contact details and the number of each you require. Alternatively write to us at Pelvic Instability Network Scotland, Suilven, Southend, Argyll PA28 6RF.

We also have the poster available as a pdf file which we would be happy to email to you to print out on your own computer and distribute in your local area.

If you have any suggestions re raising awareness or any other issues relating to pelvic girdle pain/Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction(SPD) we would be delighted to hear from you.

Please contact us by email at info@pelvicinstability.org.uk.

Our next step is to raise funds to support the development of a telephone enquiry line and to produce information booklets relating to Pelvic Girdle Pain.

From our own experiences and those of other people with whom we have been in contact with, finding an experienced manual therapist whether  it be a physiotherapist, osteopath or chiropracter  with expertise in managing Pelvic Girdle Pain can make a big difference both in terms of improving mobility and reducing pain.

We recommend that you seek referral at an early stage as soon as possible after your symptoms develop.   If you are experiencing pelvic girdle pain related to pregnancy you should ask for a referral to your local  obstetric or women's health physiotherapist who will assess and treat you. In some areas you may be able to self refer - don't delay in doing this - the earlier the condition is assessed and treated the easier it is to manage.

If you are having difficulty finding a physiotherapist with experience in managing Pelvic Girdle Pain  we are happy to pass on details of  therapists that we have found helpful and ones that have been recommended by other people with pelvic girdle pain.

As our charity is still fairly new, we are in the process of building contacts of recommended practioners and we would welcome feedback from people who have experienced Pelvic Girdle Pain/Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction as to what therapies they found helpful.

We are also aware  the treatment offered  does seem to vary depending on where you live and would welcome feedback on any issues you feel need addressed.

We have received much encouragement over the last few months and have been delighted to be able to have a large number of posters and leaflets printed which are in the process of being distributed.

In order that we may continue to improve awareness of this condition and to be able to get help and advice to those that require it we will continue to be busy over the Autumn months with local fundraising events and grant applications.

If you are able to offer assistance with this in any way we would be delighted to hear from you.
