I was referred over to BreakThrough, after a referral for pelvic floor physical therapy by my pelvic pain specialist. I have dealt with a number of reoccurring issues for years, including: weekly ovarian cyst ruptures, painful sex (including searing pain following unprotected sex), excruciatingly painful periods, and severe lower back pain that just will not quit. While exploring possible reasons for my pain, my doctor noticed I had "weak pelvic floor muscles". The Pelvic Pain Specialist sent me away with an MRI order, a referral for PT, along with a prescription for vaginal Valium-- I was told this should take care of my pain. I was feeling very hopeless with my situation. From doctor to doctor, it seemed no one quite understood my symptoms, no one wanted to find an answer, and any pain relief they were willing to give was limited. So when I walked into BreakThrough, I figured it would be a waste of time. But out walked Dr. Katie Knight, she was like a ray of sunshine. And when I sat down in her office, she just beamed with positivity and understanding. She actually WANTED to understand and help my pain to the best of her abilities. This was my first appointment, but I am very hopeful for the future. While she can't stop whatever is going on internally from ovulation every month, I know that anything muscular that she can help with, she will. I am hopeful that with her help, even just a small amount of my pain will improve. Very thankful to have found BreakThrough and very thankful to have found such a caring, compassionate person to work with! read more
