The pelvic pain population is susceptible to an uptake of their central nervous system, increased inflammatory mechanisms, and overactivity to surrounding musculature; therefore, it is important to learn all aspects of all surrounding structures to provide a comprehensive treatment to the patient. Small variance can impact the patient greatly and learning tools to assist with reducing this will greatly help your practice.
