Do you think pelvic pain is a big concern when a women is excercising? Do you think it could be Pubic Symphysis Dysfunction?

Maybe a better way to ask this is….If a woman is having pelvic pain should I send her home immediately or decrease the workout first?

Ashley,

if a woman mentions to you that she has pelvic pain, you need to ask her to contact her doctor so that she can find out the cause of the pain.

It happens from time to time that clients say that they are having pain and want to work out nonetheless. There are cases when we can work around: for example, a person with a broken toe can still do a lot of things, mainly upper body. But in the case of unexplained pain, particularly in a region required to provide stabilization for any exercise that you do, it is not safe to proceed.

If a client absolutely wants to work out regardless, let her be on her own and not under your direction. But tell her that you advise against it.

Hope this helps.

I would always err on the side of caution
I would advise that she gets checked out by her doctor

With me and client who presents with unusual numbness, tingling or pain I refer to their physician. Those symptoms are not a normal response to exercise.

Hello Ashley,
When in doubt…do not diagnose. She should consult her physician regarding her pelvic pain.

Sincerely,
Michael
