Pelvic & Sexual Pain

Physical therapists trained specifically in the area of pelvic health can identify the possible generators of pelvic pain and develop a treatment plan specific to the patient suffering from pelvic pain. A physical therapist trained in this area may utilize hands on techniques to address muscle tightness or targeted exercises to improve muscle strength and reduce faulty patterns of muscle recruitment. Other treatment strategies may include biofeedback, retraining of muscles, postural training and strengthening of the abdominal core muscles. While your physician may be able to identify and diagnose the problem for you, adequate and comprehensive treatments are only available through Physical Therapy. Talk with your doctor about PT and your condition. Patients may visit Avila without a physician referral, however we prefer a collaborative approach that involves your primary care physician or your OBGYN.
