Effectiveness of Client-Centered Interventions in a Patient with Pelvic Girdle Pain: A Case Report

Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) is an important postpartum musculoskeletal problem in women and negatively affects pain, quality of life, perceived occupational performance, and satisfaction. In this report, we present the effectiveness of a client-centered intervention consisting of 45-min sessions, 4 days a week for 4 weeks, on pain, quality of life, perceived occupational performance, and satisfaction level in a patient with PGP. We determined that the client-centered intervention positively affected the perceived activity performance and satisfaction level in her daily life. In conclusion, client-centered intervention in women with PGP may be an important solution in ensuring compliance with activities of daily living, reducing pain, and increasing functional levels.
