Pelvic health is a cornerstone of overall well-being, yet issues in this area are often overlooked or mismanaged. Our treatment at Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine (PRM), not only addresses the complexities of pelvic dysfunction but also offers cost savings by reducing the need for extensive pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT) sessions by patients.
Understanding Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine
Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating chronic pelvic pain and dysfunction through a comprehensive and integrative care approach that combines multiple modalities tailored to each patient’s unique condition. We treat the pelvic floor through the patented PRM Protocol™, a direct treatment to inflamed nerves and spastic muscles offered in-office and using ultrasound guidance.
By employing a multidisciplinary approach, PRM addresses the root causes of pelvic dysfunction rather than just the symptoms.

The Efficacy of the PRM Protocol
One of the most compelling aspects of the PRM Protocol™ is its proven efficacy for improving patients’ overall quality of life. Our data reveals that 75% of PRM patients report a statistically significant improvement in their overall pelvic floor function.
Measured using the Function Pelvic Pain Scale, which assesses the severity of pelvic pain in relation to activities such as bowel and bladder function, walking and running, intercourse, working, and sleeping.
The PRM Protocol™ has also been proven effective at enhancing pelvic floor function relating to the above activities when it is received prior to endometriosis excision surgery. A recent PRM study of endometriosis patients who received treatment prior to their excision surgery showed a ~20% improvement in pelvic floor function over those who did not under the PRM Protocol™ prior to surgery.
Additionally, sexual function improved by 41%, versus only 9% for those who did not receive treatment.

How PRM Saves Patients Money
While the primary goal of PRM is to improve patient outcomes, it also offers substantial financial benefits. Here’s how:
- Reduced Need for Extended PFPT Sessions: Traditional pelvic floor physical therapy often requires numerous sessions over an extended period to achieve results such as increasing pelvic floor function and reduced pain. However, the integrative nature of the PRM Protocol™ means that patients typically experience significant improvements more quickly. This reduces the overall number of physical therapy sessions needed, translating to lower out-of-pocket costs for patients.
- Comprehensive Treatment Approach: By addressing multiple facets of pelvic dysfunction simultaneously, PRM minimizes the need for patients to seek additional treatments from various specialists – unless their condition requires outside care. This integrated approach not only streamlines the treatment process but also reduces the cumulative healthcare expenses.
- Long-Term Benefits: Effective management and treatment of pelvic dysfunction through the PRM Protocol™ can lead to long-term improvements in pelvic health. This decreases the likelihood of recurrence and the associated costs of future treatments.

Real Life Impact
For chronic pelvic pain patients who have suffered several years without answers for their pain, PRM is providing hope, enhancing their quality of life, and reducing their medical expenses by decreasing the need for continuous physical therapy sessions and other treatments that may be ineffective.
Dr. Tayyaba Ahmed, pelvic pain specialist in New York, encapsulates this impact perfectly: “A patient once told me that having an injection session was like going to pelvic physical therapy about 6 times! It dramatically helps out the physical therapists to decrease muscle tension in the pelvic floor so they can do their part more effectively!”
