How Adductors Can Impact SPD Pain

Pelvic pain is one of my favorite topics. I think the biopsychosocial model is incredibly important and I use it regularly, but I’ll admit to enjoying a good biomechanical puzzle! In my experience, helping someone usually involves a bit of both.
I find the area of the pelvis to be the most fun and fascinating! If you’re dealing with SPD or SI joint pain right now, you’re probably like, this is not fun, it’s the opposite of fun! And I agree! But if you’re someone who works with people, I hope to help you fall in love with it just as much as I have because this love gives us that critical eye to look again, to watch movement, and to identify muscular patterns.

Great explanation, thanks!

Thank you, Sarah, for sharing this knowledge! During my first pregnancy, I think this is what the sharp, breathtaking, scary pain I was feeling was, but at checkups the main diagnosis I would get for everything was "it's normal," and then I'd feel like maybe I'm just complaining too much. But the pain was definitely very real. So thankful you share this wealth of knowledge to help women!

Oh my goodness. THANK YOU! So, so, so helpful and timely. I've been experiencing SPD pain (went to PT for it last year but didn't keep up on my exercises) and this is so helpful. My adductors on my right side feel like dense rubber bands because they're so tight. And I'm experiencing discomfort near my sitz bone on that side (PT previously explained to me it was obstructor internus that was tight and causing the pain). This video is bringing it all together for me and making so much sense. THANK YOU!

Do you have problem with bowel movement?

Your videos are fantastic! I wish I had known these things years ago when I began long distance running with a weak unconditioned core. I felt pain in my pubic symphysis and started experiencing weak hips and groin along with pulling back muscles from bending over. I pushed through it thinking that's just what doing a long 17 mile run feels like. Fast forward a few more years and I ended up with pudendal neuralgia a completely hypertonic back, glutes, pelvic floor. Yes this can really happen and I spent years trying to understand why I suddenly had nerve compression in my pelvis. I had unnecessary surgeries along with a lot of injections. I finally put the pieces of the puzzle together and am working with a sports rehab PT, pelvic PT didn't work. Everyday is a struggle. Now I understand the importance of having a balanced and fully conditioned body. Learning a very hard lesson. I went from being a marathon runner to literally overnight being unable to work or perform basic tasks like cleaning my house. I'm just praying this can be fully corrected because I'm only 47 and I don't want to end up on disability

so helpful, thanks Sarah!

Thank you for sharing! How do we get more of the adductor magnus to play in? By activating/strengthening the hamstrings/adductor magnus?

So good🎉...do you recommend ditching excerises that separate the legs in the beginning when the client experiences SPD pain?

[@CoreExerciseSolutions]

Yes I do!
