I also find increased tone on the L side of the pelvic floor muscles in my pregnant patients. My theory is also due to the LOA/LOT positioning. I didn’t think about the ischium also being restricted though. Good thoughts!
Pelvic health physical therapists help with pubic symphysis and surgical treatment depends on what is going on. If for PSD an orthopedic surgeon will stabilize the joint if that is needed.
Should a c-section have been considered, if specialists had known that there was a 9 mm space prior to pregnancy, in efforts to avoid MSK impairment and postpartum complications?

You mentioned normal separation is 3-5mm. Is that with or without SPD?
That’s normal without pregnancy induced hormones that can cause 2-3mm more of separation.

Most providers aren’t aware of these issues unless it’s an injury that a person has been dealing with prior to the pregnancy.
