Do you have pain with intercourse?

If you have pain or difficulty with intercoruse, annual pelvic exams, or even with insertion of tampons, you may have a condition called vaginismus.

Vaginismus is a condition characterized by involuntary muscle spasms and tightening of the pelvic floor muscles surrounding the vagina.

Pelvic floor therapists may guide the individual on proper dilator use, ensuring that the process is comfortable and manageable. The dilators come in different sizes. They are gradually inserted into the vagina to gently stretch and desensitize the pelvic floor muscles.

Pelvic floor therapists can identify specific trigger points or areas of muscle tension in the pelvic floor. By targeting these areas with specific massage or manual therapy techniques, they can help release muscle knots and alleviate pain or discomfort.
