Reduce Pain.

Pelvic Pain

Pelvic pain can be debilitating. It can affect every aspect of one's life - from exercise - to intimacy - to the ability to work - to emotional well being. If intercourse hurts or isn't possible; if inserting a tampon is painful; if gynecologists' visits are painful… you are not alone.

Millions of women have pelvic pain. Fortunately, during the past few years, the medical profession has learned much about vaginal pain: everything from what to name it - to how to treat it - as well as physical therapy's vital role in recovery.

Causes:

• Vaginal tears, episiotomy or scar formation from childbirth
• Pelvic inflammation or infection
• Imbalance of hormones
• Lumbar disc surgery or pelvic trauma
• Poor posture
• Emotional trauma
• Pelvic muscle tension
• Interstitial cystitis

Effective Physical Therapy Treatment Options:

• Progressive relaxation techniques
• Biofeedback to assist in pelvic floor muscle coordination and relaxation
• Correction of muscle imbalance in pelvis and spine
• Scar tissue management
• Manual stretching of painful tissue
• Pelvic stabilization exercises
• Myofacial trigger point release
