Manage episode 291727954 series 2833419
May is Pelvic Pain Awareness Month, and we're kicking things off with Physiotherapist Maeve Whelan, MSc, MISCP, founder of Milltown Physiotherapy in Dublin, Ireland. With 30 years of experience, Maeve has a real passion for (and expertise in treating) pelvic pain. This conversation is IDEAL for any woman with pelvic pain, and/or any physical therapist who treats patients with pain. We discuss:
- What gives that "WOW FACTOR" (BEFORE AND AFTER) to pelvic floor pain treatment
- How physios can tell the difference between vulvodynia, "vaginismus," hypertonic pelvic floor, and pudendal neuralgia by the feel of the pelvic floor
- Why treating pelvic floor muscle tension rectally is often the BEST and most effective approach
- How long does it take to relieve pelvic pain symptoms? ...And the importance of being REALISTIC when it comes to treatment time...
- What to expect from a manual exam on the first visit to your physio
- Types of manual techniques your physio might employ, and also techniques that you can do at home on your own
- The use of a Gua Sha tool for perineal release
- ...And so much more!
