Pelvic Therapy for Sexual Dysfunction in Visalia, CA.
Pain during intimacy or pelvic exams is deeply frustrating, but it is highly treatable. In our Visalia practice, pelvic health occupational therapy provides a gentle, trauma-informed, and compassionate space to evaluate muscle tension, nerve sensitivity, and pelvic biomechanics so you can reclaim comfort and confidence.
Sexual Health Conditions We Treat
Dyspareunia (Painful Intercourse)
Pain with deep or superficial penetration often stems from hypertonic (overly tight) pelvic floor muscles, scar tissue, or nerve sensitivity. We address the root structural and muscular causes to make intimacy pain-free.
Vaginismus
Involuntary tightening, guarding, or muscle spasms that prevent penetration or cause sharp pain can make tampon use, pelvic exams, or intercourse feel impossible. We provide step-by-step muscle retraining to restore comfort.
Vulvodynia & Vestibulodynia
Persistent burning, stinging, or raw discomfort around the vulva or vaginal opening requires gentle tissue desensitization, nerve calming, and targeted myofascial release.
Pelvic Floor Muscle Spasm & High Tone
Chronic pelvic holding patterns caused by stress, intense workout routines, or past injury can cause constant pelvic tension. We focus on muscle relaxation and pelvic floor down-training.
