The second part of this blog explores the differential diagnosis for PGP, the large battery of tests which current exist and how the cumulative information from these assessments can assist our clinical reasoning and diagnostic classification of PGP. If you missed it, the  previous blog  provided an introduction into the dissection of this clinical practice guideline and explored the prevalence and presentation of pelvic girdle pain in the antepartum population. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS  Currently there remains a lack of consensus around the diagnostic pathway for determining PGP and there is  no gold standard  (Vleeming, et al., 2009, p. 804). Physical Therapists need to consider many different elements during their diagnosis and classification: Are you able to distinguish between low back pain compared to pelvic girdle pain? If you feel that the pain location and behaviour is pointing towards PGP, are you able to further differentiate symptoms into loc...

This post… has been a long time coming. It’s needed. It will not be comfortable. And, it shouldn’t be! If you’ve read any of the below posts… 3 Positive Culture Shifts PTs NEED To Make 3 Business Competencies PTs NEED To Know And, this post from March of last year:  Bridging The Gap . You know what I’m about, and, you know for the most part that I nigh annoyingly positive, constructively inclined, and inherently optimistic. Rarely, do I flat out say something needs to stop. Well… today is one of those rare days. 5 Things in Physical Therapy We CANNOT Ignore Anymore 1. The Debt It isn’t just because there are, for the most part, daily online conversations about the tremendous student debt happening in the field of allied rehab therapy. It’s not just because I get regularly flooded by questions in my many inboxes on the matter of personal finance and career path. The reason we NEED to talk about the debt, isn’t even for the sake of student debt, itself. I believe it...

The following three blogs are a review of the most recent clinical practice guidelines for  pelvic girdle pain in the antepartum population.  Published in 2017, and I believe one of the first of it's kind, particularly in the field of Women's health, this review looks a the body of knowledge prior to 2012. The article by Clinton et al (2017) is a comprehensive evaluation of the literature and provides assessment and treatment recommendations based on the strength of evidence available. What I felt was lacking from this CPG was a guide that would help clinicians improve their framework for assessment an treatment. The aim of this blog series therefore is to delve deeper into the papers behind this review, pull out the finer detail and hopefully provide further clarity to guide clinicians.  ICD-10 CLASSIFICATION CODES FOR PGP Well this is a first for our blog, because classification codes are unique to Physical Therapy in the United States but also unfamiliar to me as...
