PELVIC PAIN & PAINFUL SEX

We’re here to help

1 in 5 women have pelvic pain. It is often misunderstood and under-diagnosed. Having pelvic pain and painful intercourse can significantly impact our physical wellbeing, our mental health and our self-esteem. It can be an incredibly debilitating and isolating experience. We are here to help.

We treat pelvic pain as it relates to tightness and tension in the pelvis. Scar tissue, trauma, and inflammatory syndromes can all contribute to a tight, or hypertonic, pelvic floor. It is estimated that 1 in 5 women are born with a ‘tight pelvic floor’, putting them at increased risk for urinary frequency, urgency, bowel problems, low back pain, and painful sex.

The Physiotherapists at the Willow Health Centre have the most experience in Chatham treating Pelvic Pain with Physiotherapy. We use:

  • Manual therapy to gently release tight and restricted pelvic muscles

  • Exercises to ‘downtrain’ the pelvic floor structures, taking pressure off the nerves and improving blood flow and the delivery of oxygen and other nutrients to the pelvic tissues

  • Guided therapy to help increase the awareness of the mind-body relationships between our mood and the state of tension in our pelvic floors
