Patients with pelvic pain and especially sexual pain often experience significant tissue sensitivity, which can lead to extremely distressing symptoms that can be extremely functionally limiting and frustrating. Many resources talk about sensory desensitization, which for some can be helpful, but in an ideal scenario, physical therapists should be able to help patients with sensory reintegration (restoring accurate sensory information and interpretation, not just decreasing sensation) and return to functional activities-graded motor imagery has been shown in the literature to be helpful toward this end. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

This course will connect the anatomy and physiology of muscle contraction with myofascia and trigger points that are responsible for the pain mechanisms. It is important to understand the effect of a dysfunctional myofascial chain. We will discuss evidence based research that will support the use of foam rolling, types of different rollers, functions, benefits, role in improving muscle length and hence improved mobility. The knowledge of trigger points in major muscle groups and techniques to foam roll will be addressed, and add another tool in your toolbox for effective rehabilitation.
