I went to Pam for lower back pain caused by a bulging disk pushing against my sciatic nerve, and I’ve been seeing her for a year and a half. Treatment — which consists of massage, exercises to strengthen my lower back, and stretches — not only addresses the pain caused by the problem, but also focuses on preventing the problem. Before I went to Pam, I was told by my orthopedist that surgery was the best way to address the problem. However, since visiting Pam, I’ve been virtually pain-free for almost a year and am able to participate in all the activities and sports that I did prior to my disk problem. She is amazing—intelligent, thorough, the best there is.

I came to Pam in 2002 after suffering a severe flare-up of vulvodynia and after seeing another physical therapist who purported to specialize in pelvic pain. I have seen Pam generally once a week since then. When I began seeing her, I was having severe, frequent episodes of internal burning. Pam found that my pelvic floor muscles were tight and began to work on them to "smooth out the knots." At first I was afraid of such therapy, but Pam put me at ease. After treatment, the burning is greatly decreased and my muscles are soft, the way they should be. Although there are times when symptoms flare up, they are far less significant. Pam is now utilizing manual techniques to address the underlying cause of my pain. I find that Pam’s breadth and depth of knowledge, her understanding of the pain of vulvodynia and IC, and her compassion are unmatched. I am so glad I found her.

Update: I am so thrilled to say that I am now down to seeing Pam once a month for physical therapy to maintain smooth pelvic floor muscles.  She wants to discharge me as a patient, but I won't let her!  The biggest change for me lately, is that I can now have pain-free sex, and really enjoy it, for the first time in many years.  I feel like a whole person again.  And I owe a humongous debt of gratitude to Pam for this.  I must admit I had trouble believing Pam over the years when she told me I would get to this point someday.  Words can't describe how much what Pam has done for me means to me.

I went to Pamela Morrison Physical Therapy to help improve my interstitial cystitis symptoms which were burning and stinging pelvic pain.  I worked with the therapists who discovered tightness in my pelvic floor, misalignment of my sacrum and tightness in my hips and back, all of which they were able to correct in a short amount of time.  By doing this, they were able to reduce my symptoms.  In addition, Pam assisted me to identify other things possibly contributing to my pain such as diet, hormonal imbalance, and stress. They were able to help me find a great physician to address these other issues.  I am a "work in progress" as I still have homework to do upon return to the UK, but I have definitely seen improvement and have benefitted from treatment.  My therapists were compassionate and caring.

Dina, 35, Middle East
I was referred to Pamela Morrison Physical Therapy for treatment of my vulvar pain which began after the birth of my third child.  I was sent to therapy to address the pain that I experienced with intercourse.  Pam evaluated my pelvic floor muscles, vestibule, alignment of my spine and pelvis.  She also performed a biofeedback evaluation which determined how much I contracted my muscles at rest.  She used various techniques to massage my muscles, correct my alignment, and loosened my epziotomy scar.  I am so glad that I travelled to finally find someone who could help my problem.

Hilary, 35, NYC
I was experiencing pain during intercourse. Based on my pain, my (then) ob-gyn had given me a working diagnosis of endometriosis. At my first visit with Pam, she suggested my pain might be caused by vestibulitis. I saw her once a week for many months — full of exercises, stretches, massage, and biofeedback—and today, I am virtually pain-free. I only wish I’d gone to her sooner. Since then, Pam has also treated me for a neck and shoulder injury and pregnancy sciatica. Each time, she nailed the problem and fixed it to perfection. I can’t tell you how many people I know walk around with pregnancy sciatica and are told by their doctors that there’s nothing that can be done for it. Not true! Within just a few sessions, Pam got rid of the sciatica for good.
It’s so hard to find a good physical therapist. Pam is stellar. She’s super-smart, well informed about all the latest therapies, and passionate about what she does. Every doctor should be as thorough, educated, and dedicated as she is.

Cassie, 25, NYC
After four years of vulvar pain, and, as a result, four years of not being able to have sex, I started seeing Pam. I noticed an improvement almost immediately. Now three months into my weekly sessions with her, I am able to have painless sex for the first time. Pam is knowledgeable, supportive, sympathetic, persistent, and encouraging. I’m certain she is the best there is, and I feel lucky to be working with such a wonderful person and therapist.

Peter, 53, NYC
Ms. Morrison is arguably the best physical therapist in the tri-state area. Among other things, I have a herniated disk in the cervical area, as well as two bulging disks in my lower back and stenosis. Hence, I have experienced significant pain, stiffness, numbness, and a tingling sensation in my arms and hands.
Ms. Morrison put me through a set of tensile exercises with light weights to strengthen certain muscle groups in my neck and back, and she had me do a number of stretches for my chest, back, and legs. My sessions concluded with a therapeutic massage to relax the muscles in my neck and back. The result is significant in the reduction of pain, numbness, and stiffness I’d been experiencing in my neck and arms. I have also been able to avoid further surgery. I had a classic discectomy years before meeting Ms. Morrison, and it, too, has improved substantially. The extent of my torso movement expanded without pain. I have an improved quality of life.

Amanda, 29, NYC
Three years ago I was diagnosed with vulvodynia. I had frequent urinary tract infections, yeast infections, pain during intercourse, and general discomfort. Forget wearing jeans or tight pants! I am happy to say that with Pam’s help, along with several other experts in the field, I feel everything is finally under control. Initially, I saw her once a week, but gradually decreased those visits and am now seeing her once a month for maintenance. Her techniques have helped strengthen my pelvic floor muscles and reduce inflammation.

Haley, 26, NYC
After years of bouncing from therapist to therapist for treatment of my chronic pelvic floor pain associated with endometriosis, I am so grateful to have found Pam. She is a specialist with a well-educated and comprehensive approach, capable of taking on even the most stubborn problems. I have noticed considerable improvement in the strength and tone of my pelvic floor muscles and marked progress towards being pain-free. I so appreciate her willingness to listen and work through any new challenges that may arise. She has a special gift for healing, and I recommend her to any woman suffering from pelvic pain.

Mary, 63, NYC
A year ago I started physical therapy with Pam Morrison. I arrived with a bladder condition, interstitial cystitis, and everyday-all day pain in my colon. I was taking medication for the colon pain as well as several other medications prescribed for a weak bladder. I am now pain-free, off the medication, and dismissed from the doctor I was seeing who specializes in interstitial cystitis. I am eternally grateful for Pamela’s expertise in the pelvic area, and am indebted to her for helping me live my active life again.

The day I walked into Pamela Morrison’s office was the day my life was transformed. For 17 years, since the birth of my first child, my personal married life was non-existent. I had extreme vaginal burning and irritation and everyday life was being compromised due to vaginal vestibulitis. During my first appointment, Pamela did a thorough exam, from taking my medical history (including all my female medical history) to giving me an external and internal exam. Based on the data, she suggested a yeast-free diet and had me insert ice fingers to relieve the burning, performed a baseline biofeedback muscular test to see my muscular response, gave me a regimen of anti-yeast supplements, and sent me home with lots of words of encouragement for the long road ahead of me to healing. I continued to see her on a weekly basis. Each week she used her expertise in physical therapy and integrative manual therapy to work on my organs, spine, muscles, and vagina. Slowly but surely I started to see results from the strict regimen I was following. My energy level increased, my body reacted every time I cheated on my diet, and my sex life was starting to come back. I slowly changed my way of life by learning how to take hold of the pain and reverse it. No one in 17 years was able to diagnose my problem or solve it. In 8 months I walked out of Pamela’s office pain-free. I am forever grateful to Pamela Morrison.

Pam and her staff of trained therapists have helped me realize significant relief from the painful symptoms of vulvodynia and vestibulitis that were originally triggered by an allergic reaction. Pam's comprehensive approach to treatment has given me the gift of an improved quality of life as well as a better understanding about my body. The physical therapy sessions also identified and addressed an old lower-back and hip injury that was contributing to my cycle of pain. I no longer need medication and am planning for the birth of my first child. I am grateful to Pam for her professionalism and dedication to education. In a field with few specialists, I know that I'm getting the best (and most current) care available.

Nina, 32, Hackensack, NJ
I am so grateful and blessed to have found Pam Morrison. She has brought back the quality of my life — in body, mind, and spirit. I have suffered from vulvodynia for three years. Before going to Pam, I had tremendous vulvar pain, trigger points in my pelvic floor, burning with urination, and hip and lower back problems. I couldn't sit for long periods of time without pain, and I couldn't walk for long distances without vulvar and hip pain. Since being treated by Pam for almost a year, I have breaks in the vulvar pain (some days are symptom-free), my pelvic floor has sprung back to a healthy muscle again without trigger points, and she has discovered and treated other areas that have been contributing to my vulvar pain — like tightness in my tailbone — that I didn't even know about. Going to Pam for therapy is like peeling an onion: She goes through many layers to get to the root of and treat the problem. Pam and I are partners in my journey towards healing. I am a pro-active patient who is fighting this battle naturally, without drugs or surgery. Pam has given me daily exercises, and I have modified my diet under her guidance. Pam is extremely knowledgeable about vulvodynia and the human body, and continues to educate herself by attending conferences on all the latest research and techniques. She is very compassionate and listens to all my concerns. She is my cheerleader, giving me a gold star on my biofeedback results to hang on my refrigerator. When she works on me, I can literally feel the healing energy flowing from her hands. It's the most amazing feeling, and I know I'm getting better. I have improved physically, emotionally, and spiritually by going to Pam and would highly recommend her office. She will change your life for the better.

Pamela Morrison Physical Therapy treated me for a hip injury. Ms. Morrison gave me a regimen of exercises and illustrations for me to take home and work on. She would track and record my progress. She was very knowledgeable about how various parts of the body are connected and how my problem was affecting my back. This knowledge was instrumental in improving my mobility. I have been able to avoid surgery thanks to her expertise.

I have a torn ligament in my left knee and herniated discs. I also had a right hip replacement and a badly broken left femur. Pamela Morrison PTís techniques are wide in range and understand the complexities of the body. Hands on stretches give comfort, strength and ease pain. They teach you exercises best suited for you and they make sure you are doing them properly. This is the best physical therapy I have experienced in over 30 years.

Jerry, 49, New York, NY
I started physical therapy with Pam Morrison approximately six weeks after developing significant back pain. My MRI showed stenosis and partial herniation of the lower disks in my back. I am in good physical condition and have been exercising regularly for more than 25 years. This was my first time suffering from back pain and undergoing physical therapy.

Using a very gentle and caring approach, Pam proceeded to diagnose and treat the pain that ran from my lower back to the top of my left foot. She gave me increasingly more rigorous stretches which I followed diligently. There was constant improvement each week. In about two months, I was able to resume my exercise routine at a reduced rate. In four months, I was close to resuming my pre-injured aerobic routine.
During the early portion of my treatment, Pam provided encouragement and support to my recovery. She keeps thorough records and seeks out information on symptoms. There were a few incredible moments in the treatment process. Pam was able to locate painful areas before I could verbalize them. Another time she completely eliminated a particularly acute pain in one session.

Pam is knowledgeable and thoughtful in her treatments. Through her skill and knowledge, she got me back on my feet--literally. She continues to study new therapies and employ new techniques. She has taught me new ways to exercise that are probably safer yet more effective than what I had been doing before. It's been a great collaborative process with a positive outcome.

Bernard, 70, Brooklyn
I suffered from erratic constipation for years with terrible rectal pain.  I also had rectal surgery which left me with a lot of scar tissue.  I had physical therapy for a few months and was given biofeedback, pelvic massage, scar release, and advice on proper diet and toilet habits.  I now am having painfree bowel movements.

I was treated at Pamela Morrison Physical therapy once a week for over a year for painful intercourse.  The treatment included internal and external physical therapy to release the vaginal and hip muscles.  I was assigned various exercises to do at home in addition to the weekly sessions.  Once we made significant progress in loosening the muscles, we began building back their strength, as they had weakened throughout the course of the disease.  This included kegel exercises, the strength of which was measured using an internal probe with biofeedback.  The measurements were recorded in the office and I rented a small unit to help measure the strength while doing the exercises at home.

I made significant progress with Pamela, ridding myself of the recurring non-albicans yeast infections and resolving about 80% of the pain.  Finally, Pamela suggested I see an allergist for potential reactions to yeast or wheat.  I believe seeing this physician helped me to resolve almost all of the remainder of the pain.  I was put on a yeast-free diet and was given high dosages of Nystatin.  Over time I have been able to introduce some foods containing yeast back into my diet, and most importantly I am almost 100% pain free.
