    Pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain (PPGP) affects over 50% of pregnant women, impacting daily functioning and emotional well-being.

    Approximately 25% of women experience persistent PPGP 3–6 months postpartum, with 10% reporting pain lasting up to 11 years.

    Recommended interventions for PPGP include exercise, pelvic belts, acupuncture, and promoting physical activity during pregnancy.

    A biopsychosocial approach to managing PPGP is necessary due to its multifaceted nature and individual variability in symptoms.

    The study aimed to assess satisfaction with physiotherapy, describe postpartum functioning, and examine influencing factors four months after delivery.
