Abstract

Where there is no proven infection or obvious local pathology, the occurrence of chronic pelvic pain (CPP) syndrome may involve contributions from the musculoskeletal, neurological, urological, gynaecological and immune systems. Part 2 of this article discusses the general effect of aerobic activity on CPP and then specific groin injuries, and includes a classification of movement-impairment syndromes of the hip to aid assessment and rehabilitation. This is followed by a discussion of cycling and other sporting activities associated with CPP.

Keywords: chronic pelvic pain syndrome, movement, musculoskeletal pain.
