Re: pelvic floor physiotherapist
Andrea, there is the list on our website http://www.pudendalhope.info/node/16 but not too many from the UK on that list. Maeve Whelan has some more on her website. She's listed on our website under Ireland. I think she teaches seminars for other PT's and probably has a list of PT's who have attended her seminars so you might want to contact her and see if she knows anyone in your area.
Good luck,
Violet
Good luck,

PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.

If you look at Maeve Wheelan's website under the heading Manual Therapy you will find a list of physios who have experience of working with patients with pelvic floor issues.

I have very tight pelvic floor muscles and 2 years ago went to one of the physios in London ( at that time there were only about 3 on Maeve's list ) which was quite a drive. At first it all went well but gradually the treatment became more and more aggressive and caused too much pudendal nerve pain, so i had to stop. So if you find one near you make sure they know and understand about pudendal nerve issues.
Good luck with your search.
Hope your recovery is going well.
