Guest guest Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Lulu,I went to Rhonda K. for 3 (2-hr) sessions last fall. She is 9 hours away. So, my hubby rented an SUV and I laid in the back while he drove. While there, he filmed the sessions and we asked her a million and one questions so we could review everything at home. So...when funds are limited, or the good PT's are too far away, we do the best we can do. Just a suggestion.... take care, Chellelulubuns wrote: How many times did you go to physical therapy there- did you just go afew times and learn how to do the techniques yourself at home, or didyou have to keep going a regular basis?

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Thanks, both Molly and Lindsey have convinced me to go to the PT in San Francisco. My first appointment will be this Thursday. I hope that just a few sessions will be able to teach my boyfriend and I how to do the PT at home on a daily basis. At first I didn't understand how PT could help but after reading up on it I now understand that many of my symptoms (vaginal, urinary, and rectal pain) are all caused by pelvic floor dysfunction. I really hope physical therapy will be the answer I've been looking for- any improvement would make me happy.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 My PT evaluation went well, I'm hurting pretty bad but I guess you gotta be tough to go through PT. I'll be going every week for 2 months, 30 minute sessions. They will teach my boyfriend how to do the PT on me. The therapist is very nice and they have a cute office dog which made me smile The evaluation showed I have a " short,weak " pelvic floor muscle, which causes many of my symptoms. > > HI LULU.... > > Hon just wishing you the very best and a successful visit with your PT... > and truly hope that's the answer for you. > > hugs > Dee > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 That's great, lulu! Stay strong and determined...and you will get there! With PT, there will be many ups and downs along the way, flaring after a session is normal...but just hang in there. Did you see Steph or Liz? If you are able - Print out a copy of Molly's self PT Instructions...you will understand them better as you have more sessions. Those are some great things you can do at home. Keep us posted on the progress... Gentle Hugs ~Chelle ;-) PS - Did they introduce you to skin rolling? Keep some ice packs handy. My favorite is using a small bag of veggies wrapped in a towel!
