February 14, 2023 BONUS EPISODE - Jen & Sarah's winning essay
Jen Campbell reads the Pelvic Partnership's winning essay. In October last year, Jen Campbell and Sarah Fishburn from the Pelvic Partnership wrote an essay about pgp, the common misconceptions, and lack of support available for this debilitating condition. The essay won the Heather Trickey Essay prize award (joint with Angeline). This prize encourages work reflecting the contribution and commitment of the late Dr Heather Trickey to finding common ground in the field of women’s reproductive health and women’s rights.
By bringing together those of differing perspectives, it will develop innovative, practical policy solutions to difficult problems. Heather Trickey was an academic, charity worker, Quaker and poet who worked with energy and enthusiasm to find common ground in the fields of women’s reproductive health and women’s rights. You can read more about the Heather Trickey essay prize here: https://heathertrickeyprize.org/ We hope you enjoy this essay, inspired by Heather's work.

Welcome to the Let's Talk About Pelvic Girdle Pain Podcast Episode 10. With Angeline firmly on board Philippa and Angeline bust out and put to rest a few common myths about PGP.

June 30, 2022 8. Angeline's Story
*Trigger warning: thoughts of suicide.
This episode is Angeline's personal experience of Pelvic Girdle Pain. Angeline had PGP in both pregnancies is, even now experiencing pain after her second. Being the incredible woman she is she has shared this raw and vulnerable account of her lowest of lows, the help she wasn't given when she asked for it, and how she eventually found a way forwards.
Determined to help others, Angeline is one of the trustees of The (wonderful) Pelvic Partnership, and is now strong enough to share her story widely so that she can make a difference for others. Her passion and drive shines through in this episode - and if you listen to just one episode of the podcast please make it this one.
You can find and follow Angeline's story at her instagram account here pgpandme or email her on [email protected].
As ever if you are suffering I recommend The Pelvic Partnership as your first port of call, they have a helpline, a free downloadable book, a Facebook group so that you know you are not alone and a recommended list of practitioners that can help.
If you have a story you would like to share or a question you would like answered DM me at instagram.com/letstalkaboutpelvicgirdlepain
Lastly I would like to say a huge thank you to Angeline for sharing so openly.

April 28, 2022 7. Lets Talk About Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction vs Pelvic Girdle Pain
Is there a difference between SPD and PGP, if so, what?

These two terms are so often used interchangeably that it can be confusing for all. Lets clear up some of the confusion in this short mini cast!

March 24, 2022 6. An Interview with Kelly McLaughlin
In this episode finally I get to do my first long awaited interview. Kelly McLaughlin is a wonderful Chiropractor with a focus on family care. She runs courses on chiropractic in pregnancy and is one of the founders of Hayley and Kelly. Hayley and Kelly was formed over cocktails, their vision truly offers something for everyone offering a unique mix of parenting support, revival retreats and courses on pregnancy for practitioners.
Kelly kindly agreed to be my first interviewee and during this podcast we chat through two important subjects relating to pelvic girdle pain. The first is the use of the words common and normal - with an emphasis on what they really mean and how when we change our language we change the meaning. The second is about the very popular but often understood Webster technique.
I loved doing this interview, so much that I completely forgot to do the outro but luckily Kelly is entirely forgiving and I was going to edit but when I heard it back I quite liked the authenticity. So I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! As ever if you enjoy the podcast please follow us rate, review and share with your friends. I'd love to hear from you so DM me at the Let's Talk About Pelvic Girdle Pain Instagram Page or send me a voicenote

In this episode I am going to gently introduce Pelvic Girdle Pain. We will talk in very basic terms about what it is, why there is such varied information out there and a little about how it may feel for you.

November 09, 2021 3: Let’s talk about the incredible pelvis.
The pelvis is incredible, and incredibly stable, but I know if you currently have Pelvic Girdle Pain you might be feeling anything but. So one of the first things I love to share with people is the underlying structure of the pelvis. For those more visual or kinaesthetic learners (or just if you would like a little more detail) here is the YouTube link of the anatomy of the pelvis I promised you https://youtu.be/yK-8ZwLFarc, and a link to physio-pedia about the pelvis https://www.physio-pedia.com/Piriformis
This link is to the incredible charity - The Pelvic Partnership so that if you need it you can get help now - https://pelvicpartnership.org.uk. The Pelvic Partnership ebook is a fabulous guide and they also have a list of recommended practitioners experienced in the treatment of pelvic girdle pain.
Getting to know your body can be the first step in your healing journey, and I hope this helps. If you liked this episode please rate, review and follow the podcast. And thank you for your support, it means the world.

September 29, 2021 2. Sinead’s Story
A Tale of Two (very different) Pregnancies
(Personal Story; Pelvic Girdle Pain; Chiropractic; Choices; Fitness)

I lost my voice shortly before recording this episode. And as I couldn’t guarantee I’d get through a whole episode I’ve chosen to share the wonderful Sinead’s Story of Pelvic Girdle Pain and two very different pregnancies.

This is a tale of two very different pregnancies. And an example of how pelvic girdle pain, when managed well, can differ between pregnancies. Sinead is the first of many inspirations for this podcast, and recorded this so beautifully that despite the fact that we have recorded an interview since I’ve returned to her solo story as it’s so authentically her.
As ever, please feel free to share your stories, connect, and Lets Talk About PGP.
