After a thorough explanation & getting your consent, the exam/treatment can be completed either vaginally or rectally. Our goals with either are to assess for muscle tension, coordination/function, and any asymmetries. This is not your typical GYNO exam! We don’t use a speculum or stirrups. It involves the use of 1 gloved, lubricated finger(s) that aims to be non-painful as we talk you through the entirety of what we are doing & more importantly, get your feedback on how it is feeling! Your perception of the feeling of pressure on the muscle(s) gives us information about where the issue may be coming from (nerves, muscle, other soft tissues, etc).
