Has anyone had success with pelvic PT? I’ve been doing it weekly for about 1.5-2 months and honestly haven’t noticed much improvement or change. Not sure if I need to give it more time?

Some individuals have found success with pelvic floor physical therapy, but it may take time and consistent effort to see improvements. It's important to be patient and continue with the exercises and stretches as recommended by your therapist. However, experiences can vary, and it might be helpful to discuss your concerns with your therapist to determine if any adjustments need to be made in your treatment plan.

      Going through the same exact thing right now. I’ve heard it can take 6 months. Going to stick it out and see what happens

      I did it for several months and had some improvement, but not a ton, and it's hard for me to keep doing the stretches and exercises. I'm supposed to just keep doing them forever basically. It's not the miracle I was hoping for, but it helped some.

      It took me three years and ten different therapists, but I finally started feeling some relief. I had to have my endo removed before it helped at all, and made some progress with my old PTs. Then I found one that focused on the abdomen as well, and in two months I felt like a new person!

        @Belugabear I did get endo excision first! Honestly I mostly have lots of GI symptoms and then my pelvic floor spasms and tightens.

          @Snoopy92 yeah GI issues make it so much harder! I’m still getting those straightened out, but PT helped a little! But really what made the biggest difference was seeing a GI and figuring out what was going on there. But PT helped a lot once I found the right one!!!

      I take a muscle relaxer and anti inflammatory aside of my PF therapy. There’s also anesthesia target therapy.

      One side note, i did pelvic pt for 3 months and had no improvement and then found out i also had adenomyosis and that was causing the constant pain that caused my pelvic floor muscles to become hypertonic. I just had a hysterectomy in feb so im going to try pt again and see if the results are better this time around
