The Silent Muscle Group: How Pelvic Health Shapes Sex and Wellness
Description
What do leaking, libido, and lower back pain have in common? More than you might think. In this episode, we sit down with pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Cara to talk all things pelvic health—from the muscles you didn’t know you had to the intimate connections between pain, pleasure, and pelvic function.
We dive into what a pelvic floor physical therapy evaluation actually looks like, what your nervous system has to do with your pelvic muscles, and why pelvic PT is still so misunderstood—even by medical professionals. Dr. Cara shares personal insights, professional tips, and candid truths about working in a healthcare system that doesn’t always make room for whole-person care.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever had sex, plans to, or simply wants to feel more at home in their body. Whether you’re dealing with pain, curious about your anatomy, or just want to know what your pelvic floor has been up to all these years—we’ve got you.
