Osteopathy for Pelvic Pain

Book Osteopathy in Cannon Hill

Pelvic pain can affect daily life, exercise, and comfort while sitting, standing, or moving. Whether the discomfort is deep in the pelvis, radiates to the lower back or hips, or is linked to pregnancy, postural habits, or overuse, Glenn Strutt provides Osteopathy sessions to address the underlying musculoskeletal contributors.

Appointments are available at Brisbane Livewell Clinic (Cannon Hill).

FAQs

How an Osteopath Supports Pelvic Pain

Glenn assesses the pelvis in the context of the entire lower body, spine, and core. He examines:

  • Pelvic alignment and mobility

  • Hip and sacroiliac joint function

  • Muscular tension in the pelvic floor, glutes, lower back, and abdominals

  • Movement patterns that may overload the pelvis

Hands-on techniques and movement guidance help to reduce strain, restore function, and improve day-to-day comfort. Each session includes a Wellness Plan with exercises and posture strategies tailored to your lifestyle.

Common Causes of Pelvic Pain

Patients often book sessions for:

  • Discomfort during sitting, standing, or walking

  • Pain after childbirth or during pregnancy

  • Sacroiliac joint pain or pelvic instability

  • Muscle tension in the hips, glutes, or lower back affecting the pelvis

  • Pelvic pain linked to exercise, running, or repetitive movements

  • Pain radiating into the groin, lower back, or hips

Glenn works with a wide range of patients, from active adults to those managing postural or chronic musculoskeletal issues.

  • Restore function for work, exercise, or daily activities

  • Receive guidance for postural or movement adaptations

Pelvic pain is often linked to how the body moves as a whole. I assess the pelvis, hips, spine, and core, and work with patients to reduce strain, improve mobility, and restore functional movement.
