At Fusion Wellness & Physical Therapy, we specialize in treating these conditions that are all too often misunderstood by the medical community. What sets us apart from other physical therapy offices is we provide one-on-one care by licensed physical therapists for 55-85 minutes or more. In certain circumstances we offer 2 hour+ appointments. No unlicensed personnel are used at any time, making the quality of care we provide at the highest level.
Our experience solving a wide range of pelvic floor issues is unmatched in our field, including incontinence in men and women, painful intercourse issues, chronic pelvic pain and more.
In depth evaluations, manual therapy, exercise prescription, and many of the other services we offer will have their greatest impact on your recovery when done by skilled, licensed providers that also participate in ongoing continuing education. This practice model also allows us to quickly identify when changes in your treatment plan are needed, maximizing each treatment session. Make an appointment at either our MidWilshire, Sherman Oaks or Montrose/Glendale office today to get on the path to healing tomorrow.

Involuntary muscle spasms involving the superficial and deep pelvic floor muscles that typically cause painful entry, limiting or preventing intercourse, tampon insertion or pelvic exams. Women with vaginismus do not always experience "pain" and often report the feeling of their partner or a tampon "hitting a wall".
Pain is also a common presentation when partial or complete penetration occurs. It may also present as minor discomfort with tampons, pelvic exams or intercourse.
Our patients have often been told that "there is nothing physically wrong" with them or that they "are too high stress and just need a glass of wine". We feel responses like this are unacceptable and dismissive of the real physical pain that these women have.

Pelvic floor muscles are very important in the physiology of both male and female sexual response. Physical therapists play an important role in the multidisciplinary team when dealing with sexual dysfunctions. Arousal and orgasmic disorders, erectile dysfunctions, and ejaculatory dysfunctions and sexual pain are areas that pelvic floor physical therapy specialists can assist patients in restoring sexual health and pleasure.
Vaginismus definition: the involuntary muscle spasms involving the superficial pelvic floor muscles that typically cause painful entry, limiting or preventing intercourse, tampon insertion or pelvic exams. Many women will also describe "a wall" that limits penetration, that may or may not be painful. This is not a lifelong condition and can be cured. The most successful vaginismus treatment is a combination of manual treatment, corrective exercises and home instruction. Most women will use vaginal dilators as a part of their home program to treat vaginismus. More information on our female-based services can be found on our women's program website at Femina Physical Therapy. More information on vaginismus can be found there.

“Urogenital prolapse occurs when there is weakness in the supporting structures of the pelvic floor allowing the pelvic viscera to descend and ultimately fall through the anatomical defect.”
