Increase Desire, Lubrication, and Sexual Function

Desire, lubrication, and deep, full orgasms are a natural part of adult life. Yet, when areas of the pelvis or vagina become adhered due to earlier healing events (e.g., falls, surgeries, infections), some or all of these functions can diminish, or disappear. Clear Passage Physical Therapy^SM has over two decades of experience treating the delicate areas of the pelvis. Studies and citations published in some of the most respected US medical journals found that our therapy decreased intercourse pain and increased every aspect of female sexual function naturally, without surgery or drugs.

Approximately 50% of all US women and 43% of women aged 18-59 experience female sexual dysfunction (FSD) according to data from Urology¹ and the Journal of the American Medical Association.² In 2000, the Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy classified female sexual dysfunction into six measurable domains: desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain.³

Intercourse pain affects between 46% and 60% of all US women, according to reports in American Family Physician (2001)⁴ and Obstetrics & Gynecology (1996).⁵ Female sexual dysfunction can occur during any stage of intercourse.

Sexual intimacy and intercourse should provide some of life's greatest pleasures. But because the female urogenital and reproductive organs are very susceptible to adhesions, intercourse can become a time of pain, dissatisfaction, and embarrassment for many women.

During the course of life, the female reproductive tract may be subjected to numerous traumas (e.g., falls or abuse), infections (vaginal, urinary, bacterial), inflammations (PID, endometriosis, chlamydia or other STD), and surgeries. Any of these conditions can lead to adhesion and scar tissue formation at the entrance or walls of the vagina, or in nearby structures. In fact, adhesions can form anywhere in the female reproductive tract causing painful intercourse, and decreased or absent sensation, desire, arousal, lubrication, or orgasm.

Vaginal and pelvic adhesions naturally form after the body heals from any abdominopelvic trauma, surgery, infection, or inflammation. Like tiny but very strong straight-jackets they can bind the internal mechanisms of urogenital and reproductive tissues, or attach organs to other structures, restricting movement and function. Adhesions may act like a blanket, covering and muting response of some of the delicate tissues, which are responsible for sexual response, such as the vaginal opening, cervix, g-spot and vaginal walls. Our therapy appears to free these tissues from their adhesive constraints and coverings. In most cases, it has been shown to restore function and allow women to return to a healthy sex life.

Scientific citations published in major gynecologic journals have shown significant improvements in female sexual function for women who received our therapy. A study published in the peer-reviewed journal Medscape General Medicine (2004) showed that 78% of women had increased desire (libido), 74% increased arousal, 70% increased lubrication, and 56% had increased orgasms after receiving treatment we developed at Clear Passage Physical Therapy.⁶

A study abstract published in Fertility and Sterility (2006) showed similar improvements in these areas for women who received our therapy.⁷ In fact, statistically significant improvements were noted in all six major areas of female sexual dysfunction: desire (libido), arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain, in these published citations.

As therapists with years of experience in these areas, we have decreased pain, increased sexual function, and restored the pleasures of intimacy and intercourse for many women. In doing so, we enrich their lives and those of their partners.
