Guest guest Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Hey Kimmi, I remember the girls on Happy Pelvis mentioned the Trigger Point Book or workbook by Claire Davies to actually help with home PT. Also, I'm reading "A headache in the pelvis", the 4th addition and it has trigger point pictures and help for home PT. You could edit your membership on the Happy Pelvis site and just go to the home page when you want to read or send posts. I also remember reading where Molly R. said there is a PT place down in FL, I'll try to find the name for you. Seems like had found a good PT down in FL, too, so there may still be options.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Sara, It took me over a week to get on. I think the membership requests must only be reviewed periodically. Give it time, the group is definitely helpful and active. Sara Rudy wrote: Kimmi, I've been trying to get on the Happy Pelvis group for a week now. It keeps saying that my membership is pending. How do I get on? Sara those of you in PT I am pretty sure that there are some of you in Physical therapy on this board since I unsubbed from the Happy Pelvis board due to too many emails.Anyway, the other night I was feeling around and not inside, but close to the vestibule on the left side I pressed down and I felt what felt like a small hard ball. I kept the pressure on it as it actually was painful, but felt better at the same time (trigger point?).....anyway, the next day my whole botton hurt to sit. But it was a different type of pain from the vestibulitis....it was sore, but if was the whole pelvic floor was sore, not just the one spot that I pressed on. Now 48 hours later, the soreness is gone, but the ball is still htere (and of course my thought is what happenes if I keep pressing on it over time, will it go away?)......so my question is to those that are in PT, is this a normal trigger point spot? And am I correct in my explanation of what happens when a trigger point is pressed on that one will be sore the next day all over? I am still on a mission for answers and need to start PT work, but there is nobody in my area or close to it, so I need to do it on myself, but dont want to make things worse. Also, if anyone can give me any suggestions for self PT that would be great.TIAKimmi Looking for a deal? Find great prices on flights and hotels with Yahoo! FareChase.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Chelle, do the trigger point pics show triggers that run with the pelvis? I was told that they show trigger points everywhere else in the book EXCEPT for vaginal. I need to get that book from my library. Kimmi Check out the hottest 2008 models today at Yahoo! Autos.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Hi Kimmi, I saw in Chelle's response that she mentioned you being in Florida. Is this right? I am in Florida too and may be able to help you find a PT. Let me know where you are and I will see what I can do! kimmi wrote: I am pretty sure that there are some of you in Physical therapy on this board since I unsubbed from the Happy Pelvis board due to too many emails.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 hi-- yes the owner of happy pelvis is not super active, although the group is. she only check in periodically so maybe that's why it's taking longer? i highly recommend happy pelvis. it is a very positive, encouraging environment. julie > Kimmi, > I've been trying to get on the Happy Pelvis group for a week now.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Kimmi, I suggest rejoining happypelvis and not subscribing to the email at your address part of it.
