You Don't Have to Suffer with Painful Intercourse Anymore
If you've been dealing with painful intercourse, you've likely had a frustrating, confusing and challenging time getting answers. Whether it's been going on for months, years, or decades you may have been told to just try lube, have another glass of wine, or 'just deal with it.' A lack of physical intimacy strains relationships, but you can absolutely restore pleasurable intercourse to your life!
​
The root cause of painful intercourse is almost always found within the pelvic floor. When the muscles of the pelvic floor are overly tight they aren't able to relax to allow for pain-free penetration, or cause pain with (or after) orgasm. They can also prevent orgasm from happening at all. Unless the pelvic floor is addressed, other interventions just mask the underlying problem.
​

What is Painful Intercourse?
Painful intercourse is a broad term for any pain or discomfort during sexual activity. You might also hear or be diagnosed with vulvodynia, dyspareunia or vaginismus. There is no 'normal' pain during intercourse, arousal or orgasm.
​
What causes Painful Intercourse?
The single biggest cause for painful intercourse are tight muscles in the pelvic floor. When they are unable to relax to allow penetration, they cause pain - with insertion, with deep penetration, or even with arousal or orgasm. Treating these pelvic floor muscles can restore pain-free and pleasurable intercourse. ​
​
What are some other signs of pelvic floor dysfunction?
Many patients who experience pain with sexual activity also have associated issues like low back pain, hip or groin pain, urinary urgency/frequency or urinary incontinence, among other common pelvic floor issues.
How does pelvic physical therapy restore pleasurable, pain-free sexual activity?
Unlike just using more lube, having (another) glass of wine, or just dealing with the discomfort, pelvic floor physical therapy ​gets to the underlying "why" of painful intercourse for true, lasting relief. We believe everyone deserves not only pain-free, but truly pleasurable sexual activity.
​
I've been to many other practitioners....what makes PelvicSanity different?
​The vast majority of our patients with painful intercourse or pelvic pain have been to multiple other practitioners before finding relief with PelvicSanity. We specialize exclusively in these complex cases, we take a true head-to-toe approach and we look for the underlying "why" of what is going on. Other practitioners might see one or two patients with this diagnosis a year - we see that each day. Our mission is to help patients with complex conditions find true, lasting relief in a safe, supportive environment.
