Pelvic Pain and Pain with Intercourse (also called Dyspareunia) are common experiences for women, but are ones women don't have to live with! Often, women are hesitant to discuss these problems with a physician. There can be feelings of embarrassment, inadequacy, and hopelessness that accompany these common dysfunctions. But you are not alone...

The first step to treating pelvic pain is determining the cause. Causes range from a simple back strain to a serious infection. For this reason, it is important to see a physician and have the condition diagnosed as soon as possible. Causes of pain may include:
  • Endometriosis
  • Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
  • Pelvic Adhesions
  • Vulvodynia
  • Pelvic Congestion (Varicosities)
  • Musculoskeletal Dysfunctions
  • Pelvic Floor Impairments

Once the causes are diagnosed, a physician may recommend treatment from a Women's Health physical therapist. A Pelvic Pain therapist at Select Physical Therapy will administer an individualized program to relieve pain and restore healthy function. Techniques may include manual therapy, biofeedback, strengthening exercises, as well as education on movement and posture.

Here at Select Physical Therapy, we understand the sensitive nature of this condition and our number one priority is making sure you are comfortable. Sessions are always one-on-one with an experienced therapist in a private setting.
