I have been under the care of two different physical therapists in the past 15 months. One was rather odd, and said she could feel that my "shockra" was misaligned and succeeded in nearly tearing open an 11year old c/section scar. the second I have been working with now since February. she does something called visceral manipulation which as near as i can tell moves my organs around and tries to "unstick" the ones that are unstickable.

I can tell you right now there are days when I am sore as heck from it, but I feel I am making some headway. I'm now a 9 instead of a 10 on a 1-10 scale. she has been working mostly abdominally. she has done one vaginally session which sent me to the ER in uncontrollable pain, but that's me. I'm guessing thats more than likely where most of the work needs to be done.

My therapist is very kind and went into the field because she is a cosufferer and was unable to find a therapist in the area. she went for additional training. I feel I am in very good hands.
