Learn how to reduce pain and resume an active life.

Proctalgia Fugax is defined as a spasm of the levator ani muscles. The spasm can be mild to excruciating and last for seconds to minutes. We realize the pain you may be experiencing can be debilitating, causing fear of leaving the house or sitting down. SITZ baths can be helpful along with physical therapy. Direct treatment to the pelvic floor can fully alleviate the pain of proctalgia fugax. We will instruct you on a home exercise program and provide the manual therapy you need to be able to freely sit and sleep without fear of an episode.

To ensure your comfort and privacy, all Pelvic Floor treatments are held in our Private Treatment Rooms. Please call (408) 736-7600 to schedule an appointment with one of our men’s health and pelvic floor specialists. We look forward to helping you find the relief you deserve from Proctalgia Fugax and/or other related pelvic floor dysfunction.

What’s the Buzz?

My daughter developed a stress fracture due to over-training and lack of proper guidance. She had to sit out her sophomore season and we were afraid her running career would be over. Her self-confidence was way down and we had serious concerns, but thanks to BreakThrough she is “back on track” and continuously improving her times as well as enjoyment for cross country. Thank you!

My shin splints were killing me and I had to pull out of my last race. Thanks to Prina helped me avoid needing a boot and really being on the sidelines. I am now increasing my mileage and am so excited to have the support of your Sports Performance Program!

I PR’ed this weekend and I cannot thank Irina enough for all the hard work and dedication she put in to help me accomplish my goal!!
