Physical therapy for vaginismus?

I was recently diagnosed with Vaginismus, and my doctor ordered physical therapy. Has anyone else gone through this? Can you tell me what to expect? Also some success stories would be greatly appreciated!

Overview
Vaginismus is highly treatable. Successful vaginismus treatment does not require drugs, surgery, hypnosis, nor any other complex invasive technique. Effective treatment approaches combine pelvic floor control exercises, insertion or dilation training, pain elimination techniques, transition steps, and exercises designed to help women identify, express and resolve any contributing emotional components. Treatment steps can often be completed at home, allowing a woman to work at her own pace in privacy, or in cooperation with her health care provider.

The sexual pain, tightness and penetration difficulties from vaginismus are fully treatable and can be completely overcome with no remaining pain or discomfort.
Women experiencing sexual tightness/pain, penetration problems, or unconsummated relationships can expect remarkable resolution of their vaginismus, allowing full, pain-free intercourse.
Treatment steps can usually be completed at home using a self-help approach, allowing a woman to work at her own pace in privacy, or in cooperation with her health care provider or specialist.
Vaginismus treatment exercises follow a manageable, step-by-step process (see Steps below).

Physical treatment
Physical treatment of the internal spasms may include sensate focus exercises, exploring the vagina through touch, and desensitization with vaginal dilators. Dilating involves inserting objects, usually phallic in shape, into the vagina. In treating the spasms through dilation, the objects used gradually increase in size as the woman progresses. Medical dilators may be obtained online, though they may be expensive.

Physical therapy in the sense that there were dilators involved. Vaginismus is such a complex, misunderstood disorder.

Emotionally, you can expect to cry a lot, be angry at your body, and be angry at life for handing you this unfair treatment...

Physically, you can expect to feel invaded the first couple of times. It will be uncomfortable, but not painful. If you are recommended to dilators, only have one out at a time. Start with the smallest one, and put the rest away. Once, you're comfortable with that first one, move to the second. If you sit there staring at the largest one, you get discouraged before you even begin the exercises. (you can purchase a set at www.vaginismus.com)

The good news is that YES, this is something that you can overcome, and NO - you are NOT alone. There are several online support groups that you can join - start with the yahoo groups one.

Best of luck to you.
