Twelve years of clinical
experience in pelvic
physical therapy practice
with a keen interest in the
sexual and psychological
well-being of people with
pelvic floor complaints.
Sexual function is a challenging topic in clinical practice. Training to be a sex counselor has helped me to better address this topic in my work.
Sexual function problems are common when experiencing pelvic floor complaints.
As a trained psychologist,
I could not help but
notice and study
the distress of
patients with
pelvic floor complaints
and sexual function problems
Pelvic Pain and Painful Intercourse are often encountered complaints in pelvic physical therapy practice.
Pain is often accompanied by
distress and behavior changes.
Pain has a positive function,
and is challenging, fascinating,
and frustrating.
Pain can be treated!
