“I was hopeful but frankly skeptical when the doctor treating me for Interstitial Cystitis recommended that I go to Heather for physical therapy. Medication and diet helped control my IC symptoms, but I had never heard of physical therapy being used to treat IC. The education and treatment I received from Heather was a revelation. She explained that the pain I experienced with IC had helped create a cycle of muscle guarding which affected the entire pelvic area. I had no idea of the amount of tension being held there. No wonder my husband and I had not been able to have sexual intercourse for years!
Thankfully, Heather’s therapy directly addressed the problem. My IC symptoms began to improve after just a few visits. Along with the physical therapy, Heather coached me in the use of dilators and gave me a home exercise program, all of which have benefited me greatly. My husband and I are now able to have sexual intercourse, something I never dreamed would happen. To all IC sufferers I would say: you need to take advantage of Heather’s knowledge and expertise. Her therapy has the potential to alleviate your pain and improve the quality of your life.”- P.M.
