    • Open Painful Intercourse

      I am a physical therapist who specializes in the pelvic floor and inparticular vulvar pain. According to the National Vulvodynia Association 9-16% of women have pain with intercourse. Only 70% seek treatment and/or consult their doctor. As a PT, we can offer various conservative treatments to alleviate symptoms allowing women to have painfree intercourse. I have alot of compassion for these women - it is courageous yet so important and rewarding for them to confront this type of pain.
