Description Maternity Belt Pubic Symphysis Dysfunction (PSD) or Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) is a common condition experienced by 80% of women during pregnancy, typically in their last trimester. During this time, the body releases the hormone relaxin which relaxes ligaments of the pelvis, helping to increase their flexibility and extensibility in preparation for birth. This however reduces pelvic stability, increasing the likelihood of the development of Pelvic Girdle Pain. Many women find using a pelvic belt effective at stabilising the pelvis, which subsequently reduces pelvic girdle pain and discomfort, bringing some much-needed relief during activities of daily living.
