“Low Libido”, Candice LangfordAs a pelvic physio working with individuals with painful penetration, the topic of ‘low libido’ comes up a lot. So here are a few foundations that I have found to be helpful in exploring ‘what to do’ about ‘low libido’. “Low libido” or as you will learn “FSIAD” is a common and juicy topic! We cover a lot; Human S. Response Cycles, Arousal NON-CONCORDANCE, DUEL CONTROL MODEL, Responsive Desire…As well as TOOLS for you to explore!But this is still just the tip of the iceberg, it’s an interconnected topic with many factors weighing into your experience of altered desire and arousal!Note; research populations are changing to become more inclusive.  If you hear me saying ‘female’ in relation to a study - it is relating to the parameters set in that study. We can assume that the individuals included, identified as ‘female’. In addition to this, most research is based on heterosexual relationships. This too is changing to include different relationship structures & preferences.Contact Candice Langford Website:  https://nurturepelvichealth.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nurtureyourvagina/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CandiceLangfordPhysioTo recommend interviewee guests and suggest topics, please leave a review for the show along with your suggested topics.

Join myself and Kirsty as we discuss what to expect during pregnancy and postpartum physiotherapy. In this transformative life phase, it is not uncommon for new parents to feel mislead or poorly informed about their pelvic health concerns, not knowing if symptoms are ‘normal’ or where to turn… you may find yourself asking “why did no one tell me”. We discuss the transitional phase that we are all in today, as we move away from a period of shame and a lack of insight toward feeling empowered, informed and confident to advocate for ones needs. “I am a physiotherapist and I qualified in 2006. In 2012 I completed my women's health special interest modules via the SAPS in Cape Town. I did both the written and piratical exam as well as the case study.

When I returned I worked for and was mentored by Phyllis Berger in pain management and infertility acupuncture.In 2019 I opened my own practice and spread my wings into full on womens' health focused treatments.
