Physical Therapy!
You might be surprised to learn painful sex isn’t necessarily a gynecological problem.
There is a specialized form of physical therapy for this common issue.
Painful sex often goes deeper than the skin. It has to do with the muscles, joints, nerves, bones, and fascia.
Sadly, those who suffer from pain with sex begin to guard against the pain, thus creating more tension, and contributing to a vicious cycle.
But, there's hope!
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy is safe, gentle and moves at your pace, incorporating movement, at-home education, exercises, and partner involvement (if desired, and with consent).
