It is reported to occur in 14.8% of UK women. It can also occur in men with reported figures being 2-10% internationally. Pain may be felt in the lower tummy, the pubic bone, vagina, penis, anus, tail bone, lower back and buttocks.<\/p><p><strong>Pelvic pain<\/strong> may be associated with conditions such as:<\/p><ul><li>bladder pain syndrome,<\/li><li>interstitial cystitis,<\/li><li>IBS,<\/li><li>endometriosis,<\/li><li>vulvodynia or<\/li><li>chronic prostatitis.<\/li><\/ul><p>However, quite often a specific cause for pain is not found.<\/p><p>The Pain can be influenced by how the muscles, ligaments and joints around the pelvis are working. It can also be affected by our stress levels, anxiety, quality of sleep, diet, exercise, work satisfaction and our relationships with family and friends.<\/p><p>If you have had pelvic pain for more than 6 months, it is usually referred to as <strong>chronic or persistent pelvic pain<\/strong>. We advise that initially you are checked by your GP to make sure there is no specific medical condition that needs to be treated such as a bladder or bowel infection, problems with your prostate, the possibility of undiagnosed endometriosis. If this has been excluded, we recommend an appointment with a specialist Pelvic Health physiotherapist who is experienced in treating pelvic pain.<\/p><p><strong>Pelvic pain can be treated very effectively by physiotherapy. <\/strong><\/p><p>Treatment includes:<\/p><ul><li>making sure that the muscles, ligaments and joints in the pelvic area are working as well as possible (this may be through hands on treatment by your physiotherapist and\/or in the form of home exercises).<\/li><li>Understanding how pain works and your own personal factors that trigger your pain, making sure that diet, exercise, sleep, stress, anxiety are as well managed as possible<\/li><\/ul><p>Here at Park Physiotherapy, we have <strong>Specialist Pelvic Health Physiotherapist; Gemma Barnes BSc(Hons) MSc
