I consulted Lisa Iacovelli (note: her name is misspelled in Yelp as Lacovelli) in 2014. She is a nice person and professional, and I was very hopeful that the techniques she taught me would be helpful. She is one of the few pelvic floor specialists in Marin.
I was a very hardworking and proactive patient (i.e. did all the prescribed at-home exercises which, as I told her, I'd already tried to no avail...) I kept saying that something didn't feel right, but it wasn't until after about 6 sessions that she realized that because of the way I am shaped, none of the exercises we'd done were the right ones to address my issue. And an examination the very first session could have told us this right off the bat.
I also received a lot of very basic literature that was completely off-base and unnecessary *for me* (but if you are shy with your sexuality or your body, it might be helpful to you). In short, I didn't feel that my treatment was individualized--it may help others, but it was no more helpful than performing basic Kegel exercises (in fact, it was basic Kegel exercises). I would not discourage someone from going to her, but really, make an appointment with Dr. Pathi as well to get a specialist's view about how to address your issues. read more
