3 Must Have Components for Your Pelvic Pain Treatment Plan

Your pelvic pain journey is unique. No two pain warriors have the same experience. So why would there be a one size fits all solution?

Spoiler alert… there isn’t. You need an individualized pelvic pain treatment plan. Yep, custom all the way and specially designed just for you.

That being said, there are some techniques that most pelvic pain treatments have in common. You may feel unsure of where you are or where you’re going on your pain relief journey. 

But the great news is that there are effective methods to treat your pain. It’s not guesswork. There are pelvic pain treatments backed by solid neuroscience. 

A ton of research has gone into mapping out the nervous system and understanding how it works. The experts really know what they’re talking about, so let’s check out some of their recommendations.

Step one is to create safety within yourself. So how do you achieve that? 

It’s actually really helpful to explore and understand your nervous system. Let’s get a little “sciency”. It’s actually kinda fun to geek out a little on neuroscience.

I know you’re thinking… what does that have to do with my pelvic pain treatment?... Quite a lot.

As a pelvic pain warrior, it’s really important to understand what’s going on in your body and why. Because understanding the science helps normalize your experience.

You know those moments when your partner touches your hand or kisses your cheek? But your immediate response is fear so you pull away?

Don’t freak out. You’re not broken and you haven’t fallen out of love with your partner.

It’s just your nervous system trying to protect you. Because in the past, when your partner reached out to touch you, your brain knows what’s next. 

Your brain has already registered that touching leads to sex which leads to pain. There is an actual brain pathway that says anything that looks like pain or sex is a threat.

So if your brain already has already decided sex is a threat, how can pelvic pain treatment help? 

When you learn what the nervous system is for, you can actually be more in control. And then you’re able to start the work of changing those automatic responses. 

Ok, now what’s next?

At home treatment for pelvic pain is possible

It’s important to learn how to have safety with your partner. Sounds simple, right? You wouldn’t be with your partner if you didn’t feel safe with them. But it’s more complicated than you think.

Pelvic pain treatment usually starts at home. But learning to effectively communicate about intimacy isn’t easy for everyone. It’s about being assertive and knowing when (and how) to say no. Or even “let’s try something different, but still fun!”

Many pelvic pain warriors don’t even know where to begin. I mean, how do you ask for what you need? 

If you find it difficult to talk about these issues with your doctor or even your partner, there are options to start pelvic pain treatment at home.

To take control back over your pelvic pain, it’s really important to understand yourself and what your needs are. And then be able to communicate those needs to your partner. Because you deserve relief.

Many women and vulva owners have started that process with something as easy as taking a quiz. Really?

There’s a free online assessment designed by a chronic pelvic pain treatment expert (that’s me!). It's a tool I use with many of my private clients. 

I’m really passionate about everyone having access to this information. So I’m happy to share it with you for free.

The assessment is for you to fill out in the privacy of your own home. The results are absolutely confidential, for your eyes only. But you’re welcome to share with your partner.

For some of us, communicating our needs to a partner is really hard. Maybe because of the ideas about sex we learned growing up. Or maybe it’s because of traumatic experiences in our past. Or struggles with our body image.

Whatever the reason, this assessment gives you the tools to understand your needs and communicate them effectively. And that’s an important step to starting your pelvic pain treatment at home.

Proven pelvic pain relief exercises

If you’re struggling with pelvic pain, you may be completely disconnected with your sexual identity. Or maybe you’ve never had a relationship with that part of yourself.

When you’re struggling, the thought of pleasure seems so far away. And honestly, not high on your list of priorities. You just want the pain to stop.

Because pleasure can actually be kind of scary for a lot of people, especially if you’ve experienced pain. 

But there are pelvic pain relief exercises and techniques backed by science. The focus isn’t immediately on finding pleasure. First, let’s figure out what doesn’t hurt. 

The primary goal is to feel a sense of neutral. That may be neutral experiences in the body or neutral emotions. And most important - neutral thoughts around sex and sexuality.

Once you’re able to experience and be aware of neutral sensations, then you’re ready to move into a sense of pleasure.

Still unsure how to do that and where to start? You’re not alone. Most of us need a little extra help to guide our journey.

Many pain warriors have found relief with techniques taught by a qualified expert. Not only are they experiencing pain relief… but enjoying pleasure again.
