Pubic symphysis separation training chart

Postpartum pubic pain, bedwetting and urinary incontinence may all be caused by the separation of the ischial tuberosity. We all know that pregnancy is not easy, and we think that pregnant women will recover their health after giving birth. But do you know that many pregnant women will experience thigh pain after giving birth, and in severe cases, they may even have difficulty turning over and getting out of bed. This kind of symptom may actually be caused by pelvic separation, that is, sciatic tuberosity separation. So, what are the training diagrams for ischial tuberosity separation?

Transverse Abdomen Training

The transverse abdominal muscle is located deep in the abdomen. Contraction can reduce abdominal pressure and stabilize the pelvis. It can wrap the pelvis from the waist like a bandage. The strength of the transverse abdominal muscle is enhanced, which is conducive to the closure of the ischial tuberosity.

1. Lie flat on your back and contract your abdomen to relax your blood pressure. As shown in the figure below, breathe in to pull your belly button inward, feel your hip circumference getting smaller, move your abdomen downward to press your intervertebral disc on the ground, keep your abdomen contracted, don't hold your breath, inhale evenly, and maintain each set for 30-60 seconds. Do 3-4 sets

2. Dead Bug Exercise: As shown in the picture below, lie flat on a cushion, bend your knees and raise your arms straight up, like a small bug with four legs upside down. Then move your other arm and leg slowly and controlled, and then switch to the other side. Pay attention to tightening your abdomen and keep your intervertebral disc attached to the ground from beginning to end. Do 20 times in each set, and do 3-4 sets.

(1) Low-frequency therapeutic device treatment: The toe bones are treated with a low-frequency therapeutic device. Two capacitor electrodes are placed opposite to each other at the toe bones to generate slight heat. The treatment lasts 15 minutes per time, once a day.

(2) Red light therapy: After the low-frequency therapy device is finished, red light therapy is carried out directly, with the lamp at a distance of 20 cm, irradiated vertically to the ischial tuberosity area, irradiated for 20 minutes/time, once/day;

(3) Heat therapy: Apply a hot pack (average temperature 50°C, duration 12 hours) to the ischial tuberosity, 1 pack/day;

(4) Radio wave therapy: Directly irradiate the ischial tuberosity, twice a day, each time for 30 minutes, which is beneficial to the removal of local edema, improve blood circulation, accelerate injury healing, and relieve pain. Be careful to adjust the lamp distance to 30 to 50 cm to avoid burns.

What is sciatic tuberosity separation?

Ischial tuberosity separation refers to a soft tissue injury disease in which the fibrocartilage joints of the toes on both sides of the front pelvis are slightly dislocated due to external force, resulting in widening of the distance between the ischial tuberosities or left and right dislocation, causing local pain and difficulty in lifting the lower limbs. It is also called ischial tuberosity suture.

Causes of sciatic tuberosity separation

1. It is related to the weak anatomical structure of the ischial tuberosity and gene mutations. 2. Pregnant women exert too much force during delivery, especially when the fetus is too large, the uterus contracts too strongly or is too uncooperative and restless. 3. Inappropriate excessive forceful stretching during intravaginal delivery, such as during left and right labor after a difficult forceps or breech traction. 4. Due to excessive secretion of progesterone (luteinizing hormone), the tendons become too relaxed, and the sacroiliac joints and ischial tuberosities on both sides are prone to separation during delivery. 5. Due to various factors such as too long delivery process, too large fetus, poor strength or crooked posture during delivery, and cold lumbar spine, the pelvic contraction force is unbalanced during delivery or after childbirth, which may cause displacement of the sacroiliac joint cartilage surface and make the ischial tuberosity surface unable to recover to its normal position.
