A Novel Therapeutic Approach to Treat Chronic Pelvic Pain

"SITT is a way to reduce stress by turning on a natural shaking response. This can calm the participant's body. It involves doing simple exercises. The muscles will gently shake, and release built up stress. This shaking of the muscles lets the participant's body physically let go of tension and stress.~Mindfulness is the ability to be fully present in a moment. This allows focus on what the participant is sensing and feeling in the moment. It involves the acceptance of thoughts and feelings without judging them.~Practicing mindfulness involves breathing methods, guided imagery, and other practices to relax the body and mind, help reduce stress, and not be overwhelmed by what's going on around the participant."
