Are You Struggling With Post-Hysterectomy Pain In Colorado Springs, CO Area?
Don’t sacrifice the lifestyle you desire over problems that can be fixed.
A Message From Justine Calderwood, Owner & Founder of The Healing Spot Physical Therapy
- Are you worried about pelvic symptoms after having a hysterectomy that don’t go away no matter how many hot packs you apply, or how much rest you get?
- Are you frustrated that kegels and hip or low back stretches haven’t worked?
- Are you feeling scared about intimacy or do you feel disconnected from your partner because of the changes you’ve noticed since surgery?
- Are you looking for a long-term solution so you can feel whole, strong and confident once again?
- Are concerned about changes you’ve noticed with your bladder or bowels since surgery and you haven’t gotten much direction from your surgeon?
Many people suffer silently and unnecessarily after having a hysterectomy because they’re told…
- Just “rest” and it’ll be fine (then months later they’re still suffering…)
- It’s “normal” after having surgery and its “just scar tissue”
- Pills and injections are not the only options. They’re just the only options your doctor or surgeon can offer you.
The Truth Is...
- Resting doesn’t change anything. You might get a small temporary relief, but then when you get active again or try to have sex you’ll still be suffering from hysterectomy pain (I bet you’ve already experienced it!)
- It’s not normal to get pelvic pain after having a hysterectomy or as you get older!
- Pain pills are addicting, dangerous, and can cause a lot of other problems with your body. (Plus, they don’t really change what causes pelvic pain to begin with!)
- It’s vital that you learn to connect with your body in order to heal and to restore your body’s strength to feel confident once again
- You can learn to love the “new you” and you can actually be stronger and fitter than you were before surgery, with the right guidance
- Resting and rehabbing your core and pelvis can help your hormones to balance
- Healing after hysterectomy doesn’t have to be scary or painful…it’s actually very empowering and gentle and can be done with love and care

It can be very confusing to decide exactly what you should do if you have ongoing concerns after having a hysterectomy. If you’re not too embarrassed to talk about it, you’ve likely heard some options such as…
- A close friend tells you to try hot packs and sitting in a hot tub
- A colleague mentions going for a massage
- The “experts” on YouTube recommend trying some Kegels or hip stretches
- A friend suggests going for acupuncture
- All while the doctor tells you to rest and give it time, or just take some pills
It’s overwhelming to try to make a decision with all these choices… what will happen if you don’t make the right one? Most people get stuck trying to make a decision about what to do next. They go days, weeks, months (even years!) without taking action.
When It Comes To Solving Something Serious Like Pelvic Pain After Hysterectomy…
You must choose the right provider for your health. If you don’t, you could end up feeling like the surgery was a complete waste of time and money or being dependent on addicting painkillers the rest of your life.
Getting the “least-invasive”, most natural treatment at this point is VITAL to you stopping your pelvic symptoms and keeping them from ever coming back.
To do that, you have to not just treat the symptoms, but have a provider who is willing to figure out WHY the symptoms happened in the first place. That’s when you’ll get a PERMANENT solution to your problems.
At The Healing Spot Physical Therapy we’ve created a 3 step process to get rid of your post-hysterectomy symptoms AND make sure they don’t come back again.
Step #1 - We Want To Listen To Your Story
Our medical system is frustrating. You wait weeks, sometimes months, for an appointment, only to get to talk to the doctors for 10 minutes before they have to run to the next patient and you’re left sitting there wondering, “What just happened?”
Even most physical therapy clinics operate this way. They’re not attentive, they’re fast-paced, and your therapist doesn’t have time to actually touch you where you hurt.
This is why our first step is to listen to your story.
After working with lots of women who have had a hysterectomy, we know that no two women are alike. Each person has a different body, a different history, and different types of concerns.
That is why our first step is to have an open conversation and time for you to tell your story. That way we get a deep understanding of what’s going on not just with your body, but also how it’s impacting your life.
Step #2 - Find Out WHY Pelvic Pain and Symptoms Started
Many people have a diagnosis, or medical term for what’s going on with their body. Maybe their doctor gave it to them, maybe tests showed the diagnosis, or maybe you found it online.
You could have been told that your only choice was to rest, take medications, or get surgery.
Sometimes, those things bring temporary relief, but they’re not addressing what CAUSED the problem in the first place.
Every person’s response to hysterectomy and the symptoms that follow are different. No one has the exact same problem caused by the exact same thing as another person.
Our goal at The Healing Spot Physical Therapy is to find the original cause of your pain and dysfunction so not only do your symptoms go away, they STAY AWAY!
We understand that you still might be skeptical or unsure if physical therapy is right for you. That’s why we created a free taster session.
(Yes! That means the first session is ON US!)
Our Discovery Sessions are meant specifically for those people who are skeptical, unsure, or have even been let down in the past.
During the Discovery Session you’ll find out what’s wrong, how long it’s going to take to fix it, and give you peace of mind that
your problem can be fixed naturally!
Step #3 - Get Rid Of The Pain & Keep It From Coming Back
This is when the big transformations occur. We develop a personalized plan that allows you to…
…Get back to exercising and even work without fear of pelvic pain and symptoms coming back
…Be able to enjoy sex, stop missing out on activities with your family, and get back to your life without pain or limitations
…Get back to the pre-pain lifestyle you love
Our best clients are those who are motivated and ready to win back their active lifestyle. (Even if they feel stuck right now!)
Want to know more about our availability and costs before making any commitment to coming in?
You don’t have to sacrifice the activities you love or the relationships you care about over problems that can be fixed.
Sincerely,
Justine Calderwood

What Other People Just Like You Are Saying About The Healing Spot Physical Therapy in Colorado Springs, CO...
Beth H.
“I found Justine while researching pelvic floor therapy for after I had my hysterectomy. During my discovery session, she explained how she could help and all the things that could be addressed. I was primarily concerned with the recovery process and getting back to my normal, just without some body parts. She helped me realize I had some issues going on even before surgery that she’s helped me work through and improve. She is extremely knowledgeable and the work she does is very gentle. She is not judgmental and provides a very safe space for this type of work, seriously, even though I’m in shorts and sports bra, she makes me feel comfortable being there. I’m so grateful for the smooth recovery I’ve had and I know Justine and her work has been invaluable in getting back to (and better than) normal life.

“I bought an 8 visit package from The Healing Spot and used it over a 6 month period. Justine did my treatment each time. She gave me her undivided attention for the entire hour of each visit. She has excellent listening skills and direct eye contact so you know she really cares about hearing the details of your specific problem and she truly wants to help. She is extremely confident, educated and skilled in her specialty and it shows. Justine always customized each treatment to address my symptoms that day. She gave me exercises to improve those symptoms by demonstrating them, observed me doing the exercise, and then gave me a handout with descriptions and pictures. She made me feel comfortable from the start about a treatment that could cause anxiety because it is more invasive than a general physical therapy treatment for orthopedic injuries. After completing my 8 visit package, my symptoms have improved about 40% and I now have the tools to better manage my symptoms. My medical care from the Healing Spot truly improved my quality of life! I would definitely return if a future need arises.
