Pelvic pain 8months pp - overactive pelvic floor

[CleanLaundryDay]

Had some mild pelvic girdle pain when pregnant. Now 8 months pp and the pain recently returned. I saw a women's health physio who gave me an internal examination and said I had an overactive pelvic floor. Anyone experience similar? I need to work on my breathing and relaxing when doing pelvic floor exercises .

Not something I personally have experience but have listened to a few womens hour episodes about athletes with overactive pelvic floors. One with trampolinists and another with netballers. I'm not sure if that's enough information to find the episodes but they were interesting.

@Superscientist thank you for your reply, this is incredibly useful to know! I love woman's hour but have hardly had a chance to listen since maternity leave started. Will look into these episodes tmrw. Thank you again, have a lovely evening!
