Pelvic Pain
After any sort of trauma to this area, the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) typically want to protect you, so they will tighten up and go into a spastic state. This can lead to consistent pain that doesn’t have much of a rhyme or reason as to when or why it is occuring. Pelvic floor therapists can help retrain the muscles to lengthen, relax, and decrease the spasms.
