"Understanding and Managing Pelvic Pain: A Workshop for Relief and Empowerment"

Join us for an informative and empowering workshop hosted by Dr. Erica O'Neal, a licensed pelvic floor physical therapist. This session is designed to provide insights and practical strategies for managing and alleviating pelvic pain, a condition affecting many individuals but often shrouded in misunderstanding and stigma. This can include pain with intercourse or intimacy, pelvic pain, hip, back, or tailbone pain, pain from endometriosis or other pelvic floor conditions. 

During this workshop, you will:

  • Learn About Pelvic Pain: Understand the common causes and symptoms of pelvic pain, including how it affects daily life and overall well-being.
  • Explore Effective Treatment and Options: Discover evidence-based techniques and how exercises that can help reduce pain and improve pelvic floor function - hint...it's NOT Kegels!
  • Ask Questions: Participate in an interactive Q&A session where you can ask questions and get personalized advice from our expert, or ask privately after the session.

Whether you are currently experiencing pelvic pain or seeking to better understand this condition, this workshop aims to provide valuable information and support in a welcoming and educational environment.

This program will repeat tomorrow at 10am.
