Dyspareunia Care at Adore Your Core PT

Experiencing pain during intercourse, known as dyspareunia, is a challenge that affects many women, yet it’s often not discussed openly. At Adore Your Core PT, we believe no one should suffer in silence. Our compassionate, individualized approach to pelvic floor therapy is designed to help women experiencing dyspareunia understand and address the root causes of their pain, empowering them to reclaim comfort, confidence, and control.

Dyspareunia refers to persistent or recurrent pain during sexual activity. This pain can vary from mild discomfort to severe pain, occurring before, during, or after intercourse. It can stem from several physical factors, such as pelvic floor muscle tension, vaginal dryness, scar tissue, and hormonal changes, as well as from emotional or psychological factors like anxiety, past trauma, or stress. Every experience is unique, and at Adore Your Core PT, we are here to help you navigate and address this pain in a safe, supportive setting.

1. Comprehensive Evaluation and Understanding the Cause
   During your initial visit, we take time to understand your history, symptoms, and personal goals. We conduct a thorough assessment of your pelvic floor muscles, core stability, and any other factors that may contribute to your pain. Our goal is to identify the underlying cause, whether it's muscle tension, scar tissue, or other pelvic health issues, and to develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
2. Pelvic Floor Therapy and Muscle Relaxation Techniques
   Pelvic floor dysfunction is one of the leading causes of dyspareunia. Tight or overactive pelvic floor muscles can create tension and pain during intercourse. Our therapists are certified experts in pelvic floor therapy, using manual techniques and guided exercises to release tension, improve muscle function, and restore balance in the pelvic region.
3. Scar Tissue Management
   For those who have experienced childbirth, surgeries, or trauma, scar tissue can often contribute to dyspareunia. Our therapists use gentle scar mobilization techniques, therapeutic ultrasound, and targeted stretching to help soften scar tissue, improve flexibility, and reduce discomfort.
4. Customized Home Exercise Program
   Recovery is a continuous journey, and we provide you with a customized home exercise program to support your progress outside the clinic. This may include gentle stretching, relaxation techniques, and exercises that reduce muscle tension and enhance pelvic floor flexibility. We guide you on safely performing these exercises, allowing you to manage discomfort between sessions.
5. Emotional and Psychological Support
   Dyspareunia often comes with emotional challenges, and we understand the importance of addressing both physical and emotional well-being. In a safe, private setting, we discuss any concerns or anxieties you may have about your condition. We can also work in collaboration with mental health professionals to support your journey holistically, ensuring you feel empowered in every aspect of your recovery.
