The Use of Specific Myofascial Release Techniques by a Physical Therapist to Treat Clitoral Phimosis and Dyspareunia
Conclusion: With proper training, physical therapists managing patients with dyspareunia can identify clitoral phimosis and use specific MFR as a conservative treatment approach. Physical therapy techniques can be performed alone or in concert with medical therapy. (Source: Journal of Women’s Health Physical Therapy)

Pain With Vaginal Dilation in a Patient Following Sexual Reassignment Surgery
Discussion: Although the literature does describe treatment for pelvic pain in the female population, research is lacking in the treatment of pelvic pain in women who have undergone SRS. Careful examination of anatomy and functional limitations were used in this case to direct treatment. Further research regarding dysfunctions in the pelvic floor after SRS and their treatment is warranted to better serve this patient population. (Source: Journal of Women’s Health Physical Therapy)

Prevalence of Scoliosis in a Pelvic Pain Cohort
Conclusion: The prevalence of scoliosis in this cohort of patients with pelvic pain was higher than expected. It is possible that scoliosis contributes to pelvic pain by influencing pelvic joints and muscles. Standard screening during evaluation for pelvic pain may be warranted. Further research is needed to identify optimal treatment interventions and to establish the association between scoliosis and pelvic pain. (Source: Journal of Women’s Health Physical Therapy)

Shoulder Impairment Before Breast Cancer Surgery
Conclusions: The significant reduction in shoulder AROM after biopsy but before surgery points to a possible unmet need for early physical therapy intervention. Further research using randomized controlled trial design is recommended. (Source: Journal of Women’s Health Physical Therapy)

Identification and Effectiveness of Physical Therapy Interventions for Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction in Pregnant and Nonpregnant Adults: A Systematic Review
Conclusions: Physical therapy intervention using specific stabilizing exercises and a nonelastic sacroiliac belt is effective in the management of SIJD. There is a moderate level of evidence for sacroiliac joint manipulation, soft-tissue mobilization, and muscle energy techniques. There is paucity of evidence on the general population, and more high-quality studies are needed. (Source: Journal of Women’s Health Physical Therapy)

Stress Urinary Incontinence in Female Athletes
Conclusions: Health care providers should be aware of the prevalence and risk factors for SUI in female athletes. Providers can likely increase female athletes' access to SUI treatment with the knowledge of effective interventions in the general population. Further research is needed to determine the best practice for screening, diagnosis, and treatment of SUI in female athletes. (Source: Journal of Women’s Health Physical Therapy)

Testing Tabata High-Intensity Interval Training Protocol in Hispanic Obese Women
Discussion: The Tabata-HIIT was well-accepted, completed without signs of knee injury or pain, and effective in improving functional capacity in these sedentary, obese Hispanic women. A randomized clinical trial is warranted to determine the consistency of these results. (Source: Journal of Women’s Health Physical Therapy)

Pelvic Floor Muscle Evaluation Findings in Patients With Urinary Incontinence
Conclusions: PFM evaluation identifies dysfunction unique to UI and specific incontinence subtypes. Patients may benefit from targeted PFPT to address these symptoms. (Source: Journal of Women’s Health Physical Therapy)

Comparing Resisted Hip Rotation With Pelvic Floor Muscle Training in Women With Stress Urinary Incontinence: A Pilot Study
Conclusions: Both PFMT and RHR seem to be effective in the treatment of SUI. The present findings encourage further exploration of RHR in the treatment of SUI. (Source: Journal of Women’s Health Physical Therapy)

The Role of Biofeedback and Soft Tissue Mobilization in the Treatment of Dyspareunia: A Systematic Review
Conclusions: When treating middle-aged women with dyspareunia, treatment including both soft tissue mobilization and biofeedback is recommended. Because of the paucity of studies on this topic, additional research investigating biofeedback and comparing the effects of biofeedback and soft tissue mobilization for the treatment of middle-aged women experiencing dyspareunia is warranted. In addition, client preferences and clinical expertise must be considered when determining management strategies. (Source: Journal of Women’s Health Physical Therapy)
