Welcome to Porter Pelvic PT Physical Therapy
10,000 Nerve Endings T-shirt
At Porter Pelvic PT, we believe everyone should have access to quality pelvic PT. A portion of sales will go toward allowing us to treat those who are not able to afford it. 10,000 Nerve Endings refers to the 2023 study that finally started to understand the complexity of the clitoris. Pelvic health is an under researched topic despite being crucial to quality of life (regardless of gender, but in this case for women). Don't be shy, buy a shirt, support pelvic health, and if you don't want to tell anyone what it means...just say it's a band t-shirt ;)

Books
This is How You Vagina
This book has a lot of information about female anatomy and how it all works, written by an experienced OBGYN. In the medical world, we like to say "write patient handouts for a 6th grade reading level" but this book is written more for late high school/college reading levels. Amazon

This book takes you through how to help yourself with an in-depth explanation on why having the right mindset is so important to finally overcome persistent pelvic pain.
