Anybody know of a good PT in Central Florida
Anybody know of a good PT in Central Florida
Anybody familiar with a PT in central FL area that is familiar with internal trigger point work. Everyone I come across only does external on males. I've done that before and it doesn't seem to really help. After reading HITP and reading forums it appears the only way to really get at this is through internal work.
Age: 36 Started: 30 | Symptoms: Frequent urination, constant need to urinate, rectal & perineal discomfort, urethral burning, pain in penis, testicular pain (since resolved), aching pelvis, constipated, incredible pain in the rectum after undergoing internal PT work. Rectum feels raw and irritated. Pain upon bowl movement

Re: Anybody know of a good PT in Central Florida

Hi,
If you're willing to travel, try Pamela Downey at Partnership in Therapy for Wellness, which is in Coral Gables. 305-666-3232
Qualified PTs are sparse in Florida, but Pamela is very good. Takes me hours to get there, but you do what you have to.
