I had a c/s, and my spd persisted for some time afterwards. I did physio for a few months from about 6 months onwards. I didn't have a lot of pain at that stage, but it was more of a chronic low-level thing and it was still limiting my activity. In hindsight I believe a contributing factor was my severe Vit D deficiency, because until I got that sorted out I would still (even 2+ years later) have problems if I overdid things (start to waddle again), plus I shrank 2+ cms since before my pg.
