Vaginismus on Discovery/TLC television

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
