Hi my name is jc. Just became a member. I worked in the medical field and I know that I have IC and looking for possible treatments. Been suffering for the past 7 years. Lived in south Florida. I read about a lot of success with pelvic floor therapy. Anyone knows a good therapist in south ford. Thanks

Hi,
Try Pamela Downey at Partnership in Therapy. She's located in Coral Gables. Excellent reputation around UM/Sylvester and the University of Miami. 305-666-3232
She's my PT, and I can attest to her knowledge on pelvic floor dysfunction. Whether she would want to treat someone with an IC diagnosis, I do not know.
