In some cases, PNE type symptoms may actually be pelvic floor dysfunction and may be improved with PT. A skilled and knowledgable therapist is a must. In this section, we share our experiences with Physcial Therapy treatments. Moderator The Busy Bees 110 853 Thu Jun 26, 2008 11:08 am wendy7 Places   Looking for a doctor ?
