Addressing Pain During Sex

This is an embarrassing one, not one that many people want to talk about, but pain during sexual activity can actually be a very problematic experience for both partners involved.  When you are talking about this, the number one thing you can do to deal with it is not pain medicine, it's not therapy, it's not any specific treatment.  It’s communication.  The first step is you have to talk with your partner about the problem and let them know there are difficulties.  Then it can be dealt with medically.

Injury and the Role of Physical Therapy

Physical therapy can play a big role in injury.  The key with physical therapy is to get a therapist who understands you and to listen to what the therapist says.  Many people don't.  What they actually do is they go on their own path or they quit at a certain point.  What you need to do is you need to actually take advantage of the therapy and you need to do whatever you can to try to be consistent.  The key with physical therapy, once again, is consistency; an approach which allows you to get the most out of what you can do.  I really think that's important.
