"One of the great tragedies that young women with pelvic pain face is the clear lack of knowledge among medical care providers about the many potential sources of pain. Not all pelvic pain originates from the reproductive tract. Some patients experience bladder pain while others struggle with the legacy of a pelvic floor muscle injury and dysfunction. Vulvodynia, lichen sclerosis, endometriosis, irritable bowel syndrome, pudendal neuralgias add diagnostic and treatment complexity.
This groundbreaking DVD not only educates the patient but gives them the essential tools they need to find relief. Patients can’t afford to be passive. They must |
The Interstitial Cystitis Network proudly supports the work of Dr. Robert Echenberg and colleagues who are at the forefront of pelvic pain clinical care. They offer hope and encouragement to patients who, for years, have been ignored and/or minimized. If you have struggled with chronic pelvic pain and have not responded to therapy, we encourage you to watch this DVD. It will undoubtedly help!" |

"I hope that many patients will learn more about the musculoskeletal sources of their pain after watching these videos. I believe the stretching and trigger point exercises are a very important resource for many women to use. These may prove particularly helpful for women who have been given a diagnosis of endometriosis, intra-abdominal adhesions, persistent ovarian cysts, or fibroids, and who aren't sure how much those findings are truly causing their symptoms, when the conventional treatments don't seem to work as effectively."

"The video series 'Healing the Pain Down There', is a well designed reference for understanding pelvic pain and what we can do to help recover from the challenge of persistent pelvic pain. The videos provide a comprehensive view of pain from a multi-disciplinary perspective and clear options for returning to health and well being.

What makes these videos helpful? They include physical therapy, medical interventions, a patients perspective and all the psychosocial needs of real people. This is worth your time if you are a health care provider, a patient or a family member."

"What I like best about this DVD is that it's not necessarily a "one size fits all" approach. All pelvic pain is different and patients need information and options."

"I thought the DVD was fantastic! As a pelvic floor physical therapist who is also struggling with my own pelvic pain issues, I wish something like this was available when I was first diagnosed and on my pelvic pain journey. I love how the DVD goes into detail about the chronic pain cycle and explains ways to turn the pain dial down. It is so helpful to see pelvic pain discussed from a multifactorial approach through the eyes of a physician, a licensed professional counselor, a pelvic floor physical therapist, and a fellow patient who understands what having pelvic pain is like.
The informative physical therapy section of this DVD with Karen Liberi is excellent! I love that she thoroughly explains the anatomy related to pelvic pain and gives patients step-by-step instructions to walk them through how to properly position and correctly perform different exercises and techniques to work on reducing pelvic pain. I feel like this DVD really empowers patients by giving them knowledge and tools to take their pelvic pain into their own hands and the steps to take to be an active participant in healing their pain."

"Imagine the pain and isolation of living with chronic pelvic, sexual and genital pain conditions. After visiting a multitude of doctors you might have received a diagnosis but you are left with many questions and with little hope. Healing the Pain 'Down There' DVD and instructional hand-outs provides a multidisciplinary approach to chronic pelvic pain conditions, the brain and its role in processing pain, and the framework for learning tools and techniques to treat these conditions from the comfort and privacy of your own home. The Pain 'Down There' team provides education about the anatomy of the pelvic floor, breath work, meditation, helpful yoga poses and so much more.
|
Healing the Pain 'Down There' provides an inspiring and empowering approach for the chronic pelvic pain patient guided by the Pain Down There's team of medical experts and a chronic pelvic pain sufferer. I would highly recommend this DVD for any chronic pelvic pain sufferer, their partner/care-giver, as well anyone working in physical therapy, sports medicine or women's health care clinics. The Pain 'Down There' DVD is also great for chronic pelvic pain patients living in remote regions or countries who might not have access to medical care for their chronic pelvic, sexual or genital pain conditions."

'After viewing this incredible resource, I was astounded at how much more I learned about my pelvis. In the eight years I have been searching for relief of my own chronic pain, I have not come across such a thorough resource. The information is crucial for women whether in pain or not, but for those who are experiencing pain, there is finally some accurate, clear and most informative material available to them!'
