What is Pelvic Girdle?<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pelvic Girdle is a crossroads of function and a highly integrated structure of the human body. Basic functional activity to performing sports, demands an efficient transfer of load\/forces from lower body to upper body and vise versa through the pelvic girdle. Efficient load transfer is the result of adequate muscles functions and adequate pelvic movements.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How does the Pelvic Girdle Work?<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pelvic movements are critical for muscles to maintain mechanical advantage & best alignments from where they can be most efficient. Integrated functioning of innominate, sacral & lumbar spine movements in sagittal, frontal & transverse planes is the key for best performance of pelvic girdle.<\/p>\n

Innominate anterior to posterior rotation, in to out flare rotation, superior-inferior translation, along with sacral nutation-counter nutation, right & left rotations facilitate the functioning and dissipate the load evenly throughout the pelvic girdle for transferring internal as well as external forces.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What causes Pelvic girdle pain or dysfunction?<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Disturbed pelvic movements or integrated lumbo-pelvic-hip mobility will result in compensatory repetitive stress\/strains to other joints\/tissues in the lumbar spine or lower limb. That may result in poor force absorption resulting in onset of symptoms as the physical health demand increases during strenuous sports activities.<\/p>\n

How to alleviate pelvic girdle pain and improve it\u2019s movements and performance?<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Movement restriction in the region could be due to protective spasm in the musculature which in turn reflects poor physical fitness training. Lack of appropriate warm up\/cool down, poor hydration levels and poor sleep also act as contributing factors. Although Pelvic injuries\/pains used to be commonly seen in contact sport like soccer and rugby but, is now becoming a regular occurrence in sports requiring high repetitive strain like bowling and distance running. High seasonal workloads and disappearing off seasons are not helping the cause.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pelvic functional mobility training and lumbo plevic control exercises go a long way in preventing and treating symptoms occurring from the pelvic girdle.<\/p>\n
