In this case report we go through a complex pelvic pain patient who had been getting treatment for over 10 years before coming to the PelvicSanity Out of Town Program.
Her symptoms included bladder pain, urinary urgency/frequency (30+ times per day) and burning vaginal pain.
She had been diagnosed with IC and tried all the typical medical management pieces (oral medications, nerve blocks, bladder instillations, etc.) as well as to multiple physical therapists.
The biggest missing piece? Rectal evaluation and treatment.
In over 10 years of going to multiple practitioners, no one had ever done a rectal exam! On the initial evaluation we reproduced some of her major symptoms and rectal treatment became a staple of her treatment during her out of town program.
Even though there weren't any obvious "better do rectal" signs! Check out the full 'sode for all the details and what we found!
Rectal Course
That's why we're going to be coming out with a true Rectal Course (Join the Wait List hereto be the first to hear about it) to help more pelvic PTs understand rectal and how to implement it into their practice for better clinical outcomes.
