Confused

I thought tight pelvic floor was treatable. But from what I've read here you just have to suffer with no end. What's the point in that?

hey, if you truly have pelvic muscle tension and a tight floor please see a pelvic physio. I had my own nightmare of experience with a hypertonic pelvic floor caused by situational anxiety, saw 2 gynaecologists with no answers.

Finally found some answers on Reddit and saw a pelvic physio. They are amazing. They do an internal exam and then you know right away how bad your tension is.

After that though the work is on the patient I think about it like seeing a personal training or coach. They tell you what exercises you need to do (yoga stretches while diaphragmatic breathing) and behaviours to change eg posture, don’t sit for long periods etc. but you have to do your homework and you will get better.

For me I followed what my physio said religiously . I went to her every 2-3 weeks. After about 5 months I was back to myself.

There is 100% hope.

Good news Rileysmom, I started with a Pelvic physio 6 weeks and I determined it may take 3-6 months before I see results, and based on what you speak of, I'm thinking correctly. I'm about 6 weeks in to a long recovery, but worth it.
