What happened? It was never painful before. I was active at least 3 times a week. I saw the commercials where they advertised it was painful for women. I thought it was for women who didn't do it very often. Too tight and unfamiliar. But that wasn't me I have been active most of my life and especially in my 50's and 60's. What? Turning 70 was the magic number of "ouch this really hurts?" I tried for several months in the beginning not saying anything to my partner, then it became really obvious, and was way to painful. That's when it dawned on me, this is a medical condition. I need to talk to my doctor. Fortunately, I have a smart one, and she directed me to physical therapy. Wow, physical therapy for that most sensitive place in the female body. The interior of the pelvic floor. Deep tissue massage of the pelvic floor. Yes, it can get too tight in response to pain, and as with all muscle groups it can stay in a tight grip. I had no idea about that type of physical therapy. Never dawned on me, and what a wonderful thing to do while pregnant to help the pelvic floor to stretch for an easier delivery. And for those like me, that have back troubles caused by the misalignment of the sacrum, watch that puppy stay in place with less back aches, for easy standing and walking.
Wow! Now I know and am sharing it with you. Thank goodness for Cornelson Physical Therapy, Pelvic Heath and Wellness. I can play again! read more
