Sexual Pain & Dysfunction
Sexual function relies on healthy tissues that can be affected by hormonal changes, physiological, and psychosocial considerations. Research Indicates That Close To 20% Of Women Experience Pain With Sexual Activity. Pain with intercourse can have many causes. Many times, we find that it’s due to muscle overactivity or tension that can be treated with pelvic floor therapy. There are various considerations during treatment and We will develop an individualized treatment plan using integrative therapies and a holistic approach.
You Are Not Alone
People experiencing painful sex can often feel hopeless. For some, it’s a pain that they’ve dealt with their entire lives, and for others, pain may arise randomly such as after a procedure, childbirth, or after a stressful time in their lives. It is common to have one or more body systems involved with pelvic pain that impacts intimacy, relationships, sleep, and other activities of daily living that we will address. We are here to support you in your healing journey.
Navigating The Pain
There are many factors that can contribute to this type of pain. This can include hormonal or skin challenges, nerve sensitivity or irritation, and pelvic floor muscle tension or overactivity. Our goal is to help you navigate this problem and to find out why this is happening and get to the root cause of the problem. Ultimately, we help you get the results you need to move forward towards enjoyable and comfortable sexual health, as well as improving your ability to participate in essential daily activities in greater comfort, with freedom from pelvic pain and dysfunction.
