What is Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy? By Dr. Peterson
The rundown: I am Dr. Lauren Peterson, and I am a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist in Oklahoma City. Many pelvic floor physical therapists think of themselves as “Women’s Health Physical Therapist” and while I treat mostlywomen, I have plenty of men who come to me for pelvic floor dysfunction. I realize that while I want to stand on the top of mountains and scream about the importance of pelvic floor physical therapy, it might fall on some deaf ears. In fact, I often have to explain what I do to my close family and friends. So, I wanted to share what pelvic floor physical therapy is and how it could help you. Before I get into “What is Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy?” Let me introduce myself. I have been using women’s health physical therapy to treat a variety of pelvic health conditions over the last 4 years. It allstarted because I was having issues with stress incontinence (more on SI later), and I wanted a cure. I didn’t want to take medication, and wearing a pad for the next 60 years didn’t seem like a reasonable solution. I was living in rural NW Iowa at the time and with no other pelvic floor physical therapistsaround, I ended up being my own first patient. Since that time I have successfully treated hundreds of women, and men, for their pelvic dysfunction and helped restore their quality of life. To understand pelvic floor physical therapy, I want to highlight physical therapy generally. PTs consider themselves the musculoskeletal experts. We are experts in optimizing movement and anatomical functioning, which means that when you have an ache or pain, or when you are not moving at your best a physical therapist is the first person you should be talking to. Pelvic floor physical therapy in this regard is no different than traditional orthopedic physical therapy, we treat musculoskeletal dysfunction. Just like an orthopedic physical therapist might specialize in working with injuries of the leg, spine, or arm, a pelvic floor physical therapist specializes in keeping your pelvic floor healthy. Your pelvic floor muscles are those at the base of your core. For a woman, they include the muscles that stretch from the front (pubic bone) to the back (tail bone) of your pelvis, including the muscles surrounding the urethra, vagina, and anus. While you may not have given a lot of thought to these muscles, they are extremely important in several daily bodily functions including: keeping yourabdominal organs inside your body, bowel and bladder control, and sexual functioning. If your pelvic floor is healthy, you should have no issues with any of these, but if your pelvic floor isn’t as healthy as it should be, a variety of problems arise. These problems are the ones that as a pelvic floor physicaltherapist, I treat in Oklahoma City. The problems fall generally into three categories: incontinence, prolapse, and sexual dysfunction. When is comes to pelvic floor physical therapy, the most common problem is with incontinence. With approximately 1 in 3 women suffering from incontinence that is no surprise, but there are differenttypes of incontinence. The most common I see is stress incontinence, which is what got me into pelvic floor physical therapy in the first place. Stress incontinence is sometimes called “exercise induced incontinence” because it commonly occurs when the woman is active (such as during running, jumping,or dancing), but it also commonly occurs when you sneeze, cough and laugh. Other types of incontinence include urge incontinence (or “overactive bladder”) and bowel incontinence. High-tone or hypertonic pelvic floor muscles affect 16% of women and are associated with pelvic floor myofascial pain, dyspareunia, vaginismus, and vulvodynia [66]. Pelvic floor myofascial pain Pelvic floor myofascial pain disorder is characterized by short, tight, tender pelvic floor muscles with myofascial trigger points causing local and referred pain. Symptoms include chronic vaginal discomfort and dyspareunia [67]. PFPT is considered the firstline therapy of myofascial pain and spasm [68]. Tu et al. performed a 2005 systematic review of two RCTs and 27 observational case series to evaluate the use of manual techniques to alleviate musculoskeletal pelvic pain. Although there was wide variation in PFPT techniques and study size, the authors concluded that 59–80% of women reported improvement in pelvic pain [69]. Oyama et al. performed a nonrandomized study of 21 women with muscle responsiveness to pain, less pelvic floor muscle tone, improved vaginal flexibility, and improved pelvic floor muscle capacity [79]. 66.

Prolapse occurs when the internal organs begin to leave the abdominal cavity through the vagina or rectum. Prolapse can be a painful condition for some women, but it is an uncomfortable condition for all women. A strong, healthy pelvic floor can prevent your internal organs from dropping out of your vagina. The most common sexual dysfunction I see is pelvic pain. More often than not this pelvic pain occurs during intercourse in a condition called “dyspareunia,” which is pain with insertion into the vagina. Most women think they are the only ones going through this; however, it affects more women than you think, women are just afraid to talk about it. Pelvic pain can be isolating and a strain on your romantic relationships, but treatment options exist. If your provider is unsure, seek a second opinion, don’t live in pain. The thing about pelvic floor dysfunction that many people get wrong, including some Ob/GYNs, is believing that the pelvic floor is always unhealthy because it is too lax, or the muscles are not strong enough. While that is true for some patients, for many others the pelvic floor is actually too tight, which can present very similarly. In the case of pelvic floor tightness, you have to learn to relax first before any strengthening can happen. If you balled your fist, you couldn’t tighten it any further. If your pelvic floor is already tightened, trying to contract further will not be helpful. Your pelvic floor physical therapist wants you to perform at your optimum. We want to know what you are missing out on. Are you missing family time because you have to find a bathroom all the time? What is your dysfunction preventing you from doing? Maybe you can’t take your favorite dance or aerobics class, maybe when you bend over to pick up your little once you leak. Or maybe for you optimal functioning of your pelvic floor means the ability to be intimate with your partner. What is optimal functioning for you? Pelvic floor physical therapy will teach you to properly coordinate your breathing and pelvic floor muscle contractions, which will allow you to properly release tension in your pelvic floor while also allowing you to get the most from a pelvic floor muscle contraction when the time comes. Your pelvic floor physicaltherapist wants to make sure you can perform at your best, and for her that starts at your foundation.

Do I have Vaginismus? How to Spot the Signs
Do I have vaginismus? Women all over the world are asking this question, and undoubtedly far more often than it might seem. The reason they are reluctant to ask their Doctors is because despite vaginismus being an all-too-common condition, sadly it is still largely perceived as a taboo subject. Even if you’re not sure if you have vaginismus, when something doesn’t feel quite right with your body, the feeling shouldn’t be ignored. The body always has a way of letting you know when part of it isn’t functioning as it should be, and often the symptoms of dysfunction are pain and inflammation. When dysfunction happens in the vaginal area, it comes with a whole new set of problems: for example, embarrassment, frustration, lack of confidence and anxiety. This is why women often can’t always diagnose vaginismus for sure, and they end up turning to the internet for guidance. We hope our article will help you to understand if vaginismus is your problem. Do I have vaginismus? When looking for answers to the question, “Do I have vaginismus?” you’ll need to honestly assess both your body and mind to see how they react to certain stimuli. The below issues are indicative of vaginismus – especially if you have more than one: I have problems inserting a tampon For many women with vaginismus, it is very difficult to insert a tampon, no matter how small. The tampon may feel like it is hitting a wall, and no matter how hard you try, you can’t insert it. If you keep trying, you’re likely to feel pain and possibly even more physical resistance. I get anxious at the thought of penetration If you feel anxiety at the thought of vaginal penetration, there’s a good chance that you have vaginismus. This anxiety may stem from past trauma, lack of self-confidence of issues with intimacy, for example. When anxiety prevents intimacy, it can even lead to depression eventually. If you do have vaginismus, it will help to try to understand the reasons behind it. Dealing with vaginismus psychologically is often a big part of the recovery process. See Product See Product See Product I get spasms in my pelvic floor muscles One of the main symptoms of vaginismus is involuntary tightening of the vaginal muscles. If you find that you have no control over contractions and spasms in your vaginal muscles, you may have vaginismus. Spasms and contractions are painful, and in some cases, women may develop what is known as a ‘hypertonic pelvic floor’. This means that the muscles stay contracted, and this is obviously very uncomfortable. A hypertonic pelvic floor can also lead to constipation, urgent need to use the toilet, and pelvic pain. It can also lead to tension in the muscles of the hips and other pelvic muscles (e.g. piriformis, obturator internus, coccygeus and hamstrings). Sex is difficult, painful or impossible Due to the muscle contractions and spasms, sexual intercourse can be very challenging and lead to pain and frustration. You may get aroused and have clitoral orgasms, but still be unable to have full sexual intercourse. For other women, anxiety about penetration prevents them from getting aroused at all. Gynecological exams are difficult, painful or impossible The same goes for gynecological exams, but this can be even worse, as let’s face it, there isn’t much reason to look forward to a vaginal examination! Women with vaginismus will find this even more difficult, due to the muscle spasms and constriction of the birth canal. Attempts at penetration with a finger or speculum can result in burning or stinging pains. Examinations can therefore be difficult or even impossible. See Product See Product See Product What to do if you have vaginismus In a nutshell, if you have vaginismus, you’re likely to experience tightening of the vaginal muscles, pain during and after sex or examinations, difficulty having sex at all, or even inserting a tampon… and since there are no physical abnormalities that contribute to the condition, it can’t be diagnosed visually. If you think you have vaginismus, you will surely be looking for ways to relax your vaginal muscles. It would be a good idea to seek the assistance of a professional for a proper diagnosis; visiting a pelvic floor physical therapist is a good place to start. There are also pelvic floor stretches you can do at home, and many women benefit from vaginal dilator therapy, which has been known to bring positive results in a matter of weeks for some. We hope we have helped you answer the question “Do I have vaginismus?”, and if you think you do, we wish you every success in overcoming your condition.

5 Reasons to Use Vaginal Dilators for Vaginismus
Vaginismus affects many women around the world, causing them both stress and pain in a variety of situations. Women with vaginismus will experience tightening and contractions in the vagina - especially at the thought of penetration. Vaginismus can make intercourse, examinations and menstrual cycles difficult to deal with. Due to spasms in the birth canal, attempts at intercourse or penetration of any kind can lead to burning, stinging or tearing sensations. This naturally results in panic or anxiety and the cycle repeats. Fortunately there is a wonderful product available for treating vaginismus: vaginal dilators. After using vaginal dilators for some time, women often find that they have overcome both the pain and fear that has been hampering their lives. If you’re wondering why or how to use vaginal dilators for vaginismus, read on… Our top 5 reasons to use vaginal dilators for vaginismus You can enjoy sexual intercourse once again Sex can’t possibly be enjoyable while you’re feeling burning or stinging pains – it can actually be difficult for penetration to happen at all. When you can manage to have sex, the result is often pain of some kind. Fortunately, painful sex (dyspareunia) can be a thing of the past when you use vaginal dilators for vaginismus. No doubt you want nothing more than to enjoy your sex life. Vaginal dilators can help you relax the muscles in your vagina and become accustomed to penetration at your own pace. With practice, the chances of experiencing sexual pleasure are much higher. For many women, this can happen within a few weeks – sometimes months – but as soon as you have got used to your dilator, you’re likely to feel so much more comfortable with your partner. Gynecological exams get easier In some ways, gynecological exams are more traumatic for vaginismus sufferers. After all, there is no intimacy or connection with your examiner and the procedure is very clinical. This can lead to extra anxiety, making important exams difficult or even impossible. When you choose vaginal dilators for vaginismus treatment, the results are similar to those you get when using them for intercourse. Ultimately the goal is to relax and get the vagina used to penetration, in your own time. After using vaginal dilators for a while, you should be much more able to relax enough for the appointments to be successful. The magnets in Vuva dilators help the vagina to relax Have you heard of magnetic therapy? It is a popular treatment around the world and can remedy so many different conditions. We highly recommend using magnetic vaginal dilators for vaginismus, and here’s why: Neodymium magnets help to lengthen and stretch vaginal soft tissues They boost blood flow to the areas you’re feeling pain They help to relax your vaginal muscles and ligaments Magnets have nerve-calming abilities Magnets are particularly useful for treating pain; they work with your body’s naturally magnetic field, bringing it back into balance. This is why we created a dilator range with Neodymium magnets. You can insert tampons (or menstrual cups) without pain Women with vaginismus sometimes dread their monthly periods. At the very least, it can be pain to use sanitary pads – they can get messy and they aren’t the most convenient option. Lots of women prefer to use tampons or a menstrual cup, but with vaginismus, these things can seem impossible. However, once you become accustomed to penetration by using vaginal dilators, you will find that tampons are super-easy to insert. Why not try our soft and smooth silicone dilators for this purpose? Dilators work well alongside psychological therapies Sometimes vaginismus stems from serious psychological trauma or negative associations. In those cases, dilators alone may not be able to help you, since you must also heal the root of the trauma in your mind. Women who are seeking any form of sexual therapy to heal their emotional triggers can help the process along by practicing using a dilator for their vaginismus too. The two treatments work exceptionally well together in many instances. It sometimes helps to hear what other women have to say about using vaginal dilators, so we’ve compiled a few experiences for you to read. If you have any other questions before starting to use dilators for vaginismus, don’t forget that Vuvatech are here to help however we can… so don’t be afraid to reach out!
