Some of you may have already seen this but thought it was worth posting again. It aired on TLC April 3, 2011 . http://www.womentc.com/content.php?keyword=Media&ArticleID=138
This version is without commercials and takes about 22 minutes. It is very well done and quite accurate except for insurance coverage. The treatment described includes simultaneous treatment by a PT and a psychologist. I do not have experience with the billing of co-treatments. I do separate PT treatments and do receive coverage by most insurances under the code muscle spasm. I am sure many of you have the same experience.
I have read their book Private Pain. It is a good book for supporting patients as it has many testimonials about the impact of vaginismus and the success of the treatment. The treatments are not described. I would be happy to offer private or group distance learning on the physical therapy treatment of vaginismus. Certainly there is a range of severity and many patients have success with primary physical treatment. Email me if you are interested beth@bethshelly.com
Interesting article, thanks for sharing.
