Vaginismus Physical Therapy

Vaginismus is a spasm of the muscles surrounding the opening of the vagina. Vaginismus makes sex and a pelvic exam potentially impossible because of pain. This can inhibit regular check-ups with a gynecologist, intimacy with your partner and growing your family. We understand the impact Vaginismus can have on your life and well-being.

Because Vaginismus involves the shortening and spasm of muscle tissue, physical therapy is an excellent choice for treatment. We can provide manual soft tissue mobilization, self-treatment instructions, a home exercise program, and relaxation techniques. We can also provide guidance on the purchase of dilators, pelvic pain products and other pelvic floor training materials.

We can help you gain control of your pelvis and stop it from ruling your life. 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 pelvic floor specialists. We look forward to helping you find the relief you deserve from Vaginismus and/or other related pelvic floor dysfunction.
