Fostering a sense of intimacy is crucial when dealing with chronic pain, particularly when pain impairs your ability to engage in sexual activity.

Research has shown us time and time again that physical touch can help to reduce pain. Release of the feel-good hormone oxytocin results in decreased stress and improved immune function.

The best part - you can reap the benefits from physical touch without cuddling or hand-holding - engage in a prolonged hug with a friend, pet a dog, or get a massage. All of these things can promote the activity of oxytocin!

Pain with sexual activity is never normal. People can have pain with arousal, pain with sexual activity, or pain after sexual activity.

It’s a shame that the conventional medical system is dismissive of these issues.

But, know that there are conservative things you can do to manage these symptoms. Musculoskeletal deficits, pelvic floor dysfunction and nerve sensitization can drive these symptoms, all of which can be improved with physical therapy. Hormone imbalances can also be a contributor, which can be addressed with nutrition and lifestyle changes.

Have you been using oral contraceptives for management of painful periods?

Unfortunately, there is a huge lack of patient education when it comes to birth control. Certainly, birth control serves a purpose when it comes to contraceptives. However, so often birth control is used primarily to affect me**es rather than to prevent pregnancy. Specifically, birth control is often utilized as a form of treatment for things like heavy or irregular periods, uterine fibroids and endometriosis (all of which are due to a hormonal imbalance, often relative estrogen dominance).

However, using synthetic hormones leads your body to stop making its own hormones, thereby throwing things further out of balance. Sure, symptoms may be improve, but only because they’re being masked.

If you want to know more about holistic management of painful periods (menorrhagia), uterine fibroids and endometriosis, come see us!

At Apto Physical Therapy, we address the musculoskeletal system to address potential contributors to pain. We offer hormone testing panels and nutrition therapy to achieve hormone balance, which will promote symptom management without medication!

Managing constipation is more complicated than simply eating more fiber and drinking more water.

Sure, diet and hydration are a factor in healthy bowel movements. But, in order to fully address constipation, we must also address pelvic floor tone, abdominal motility, coordination and behavior patterns.

For example, a history of abdominal surgery may affect the inherent movement (motility) of your abdominal organs.

Or, perhaps you’re a heavy lifter and you’ve developed ineffective motor patterns to brace, which could impair your ability to appropriately increase your intra-abdominal pressure in order to empty your bowels.

Even sitting on the toilet and staring at your phone when you don’t have the urge to go can lead to difficulty emptying over time.

Want help improving your ability to empty your bowels? At Apto Physical Therapy, we specialize in integrating nutrition and neuromuscular re-education to provide you with a truly holistic solution. Book online at aptophysicaltherapy.com

[AP.TO] VERB (LATIN): TO MAKE FIT, TO ADAPT, TO PREPARE

Apto Physical Therapy was founded with one mission: to address dysfunction from a truly holistic approach in order to get people back to doing the things they love to do. However, symptoms such as pain and urinary incontinence often impair our ability to function at our fullest capacity. When this happens, we tend to decrease our participation in things that fulfill us, which can have serious effects on our mental health and further perpetuate our symptoms.

At Apto Physical Therapy, your personalized, one-on-one care will assess you as a whole person, not as a set of symptoms. We will not only address your physical body, but will also look at lifestyle factors that may be contributing to your symptoms. This multifactorial, biopsychosocial approach will facilitate your ability to return to your prior level of function much sooner than with traditional PT modalities alone.

It can be difficult to navigate the health care field, especially when you are seeking treatment for pelvic floor dysfunction. At Apto Physical Therapy, you will receive sensitive and skilled care from a practitioner who has extensive experience working with both men and women with complex presentations such as pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, urinary hesitancy, urinary frequency, bladder pain, pudendal neuralgia, ge***al pain, constipation, f***l incontinence, abdominal pain, tailbone pain, pelvic girdle pain, hip pain, low back pain, hernias and diastasis recti. Together, you and your provider will design a plan of care that fits into your lifestyle and helps you eliminate your symptoms.

Unfortunately, symptoms related to pelvic floor dysfunction often go untreated or misdiagnosed for years. Worse yet, people typically only receive advice about what they should avoid. However, at Apto Physical Therapy we focus on what you CAN do and empower you to take control of your rehabilitation so that you can achieve the highest level of function possible.
