Objective:
To describe the management of groin pain occurring during pregnancy using a comprehensive conservative approach.
Clinical Features:
A 32-year-old woman 20 weeks into her pregnancy experienced difficulty standing and moving due to groin pain. She also had pain with forward bending and a positive long dorsal ligament test. She had a Quebec Task and Force Disability Scale questionnaire score of 122 and rated her pain as an 8/10 on a visual analog scale.
Intervention And Outcome:
Active Release Technique, home relaxation exercises, patient education, and ergo-nomic training were provided over approximately 3 weeks (3 treatments). Her Quebec score was 62 and she had no pain after treatment.
Conclusion:
A comprehensive treatment plan of soft tissue release, patient education and home exercises appeared to help minimize this patient's groin pain associated with pregnancy.
