[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious as to what pelvic floor PT involves! [/quote]

For me, it turned out that several of my muscles that connected my perineum to the inside of my hip bone were unbelievably tight. It was causing a lot of pain, especially during sex, and making it impossible to use the bathroom without splinting (supporting the perineum). We also discovered that I had an incredibly tight and effed up muscle deep inside my glute, which we think is where my first kid’s head was pressing through a very long and traumatic labor seven years ago! (My pelvis was tilted for SEVEN YEARS, I had to wear a shoe lift on one side, my whole body was thrown off...) Anyway, the solution for me was a lot of internal work from my amazing PT, which is exactly what it sounds like — a lot of really intense deep tissue massage from within the vagina. Let me tell you, someone rubbing your hip joint from the inside is...weird. But it was amazing, I can have sex without pain, I can use the toilet like a big girl, and I can wear shoes without orthotics! I swear by pelvic floor PT. [/quote]

This is really interesting, because I’ve had a similar issue since giving birth several years ago with everything being incredibly tight and sex sometimes being difficult or painful because the vagina/pelvis is so tight. I have never been able to figure out what could be causing this and my OB says everything looks totally normal. I don’t have any bathroom issues or gait issues, but for example I cannot get the smallest size menstrual cup to work because is is too tight inside and the cup is too big to fit comfortably. I will be looking into PT, thank you for the post. [/quote]
