Missionary Impossible Pt 3: Too Tight to Tango: Pelvic Floor Pain and PT with Sara Sauder, PT, DPT
Ever been told to "just do your Kegels" and move on? Yeah… no. If sex hurts, it’s not all in your head—or your partner’s technique.
This third and final installment of Labia Logic’s Painful Sex series goes beneath the surface (literally) to explore why pelvic pain happens, how to stop it, and why your pelvic floor might be crying out for a little R&R instead of more reps. Dr. Ashley Fuller and Dr. Meredith McClure are joined by Sara K. Sauder PT, DPT an expert Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist.
Sara helps us untangle the surprisingly complex, and totally fascinating, world of pelvic health. From misunderstood muscles to the oft-ignored vestibule (she’s baaa-aack!), Drs. Fuller and McClure talk anatomy, therapy, and everything your OGBYN forgot to mention.
You’ll learn why Kegels might not actually be your BFF, how fascia (that sneaky connective tissue) could be making things worse, and what role stress plays in pelvic tension.
Labia Logic’s 3-part Missionary Impossible series will leave you informed, empowered, and armed with more information than you ever thought possible about your vestibule.
Share all three parts with the ladies in your life; you may not even know who is suffering from painful sex when they don’t have to!
