I can’t really explain the pain. (P1, age 34)\nAt one point I thought that could it be my weight, but I’ve never really been obese. . . then another thing I thought [was that it] could be a lack of activities. . . [but] that wasn’t the case either because I did a lot of walking, a lot of bike riding. . . [and] at one point I thought certain types of food [contributed]. . . Everything is just so frustrating. (P2, age 52)\nI guess they will do something with my pelvic [region], probably massage. . . The other physiotherapist that I used to go to, she worked with her hands on me, and she applied pressure in certain areas. . . (P9, age 68)\nJust what I’ve been taught with the exercises. . . But other than that, nothing, really. (P2, age 52)\n[I] was only able to do an intake portion before insurance and some other stuff took over. (P8, age 30)\nPelvic PT will provide a new way to get relief\nMy role is to be open to try new things\nBecause right now I really don’t know much. And I wasn’t really told how to manage pain other than taking . . . Advil [and] Naproxen for . . . the last 7 years or so.
