Hello world! My name is Raquel Perlis and I am a Physical Therapist. The essential purpose of my blog is to begin a conversation that should have been started a long time ago. For the past xx years I have developed a specialty in ______________, more clearly painful intercourse a topic which has often been termed taboo. Despite numerous efforts over the past few years to have articles, news stories published and television programs produced I have only had limited success. Though recently ABC News Online’s, __________ wrote a fantastic article about the issue featured here ______________. The point is, this blog serves to break those barriers down, open up the conversation to this issue among other issues that often don’t make the press because they are not deemed appropriate or do not fit the mold of newsworthiness. My aim is to help break that mold. I welcome other contributors and encourage people to share there stories both patients and physical therapists alike please join the conversation as this is a forum for issues less talked about.
