Understand Your Condition
Your PT will take the time to learn about your pain and whether it might be associated with an event (childbirth, menopause, trauma) or due to a hyperactive pelvic floor. They’ll also want to hear your goals and concerns. There’s no such thing as TMI!
Work 1:1 With A Physical Therapist
Your treatment plan will be personalized to your symptoms, circumstances, and goals. It may include:
- Manual therapy to relieve tissue pain and tension
- Regaining awareness of your pelvic floor
- Breathing and other tension-relieving techniques
- Vaginal dilators/trainers

Relief from Painful Sex
Whether you’re struggling to have penetrative sex with a partner or you’re too nervous to even try, you’ve come to the right place. Treating painful sex isn’t just about pleasure (though that’s a worthwhile goal), it’s also likely to improve your mental health — sexual dysfunction is associated with both depression and anxiety.
You might worry that treatment will be awkward, but we’re experts in making you comfortable. Our PTs have helped hundreds of patients address pain and significantly improve their sex lives.
