MYTH #1 - "IT'S NORMAL TO HAVE PAIN DURING SEX"

Women are often told that it's normal to have some pain during sex as it means you're a good woman and your vagina is tight. (And don't get me started on the many taboos around the tightness of the vagina.) 

We often hear "the tighter, the better." The problem is that it's not accurate information. 

When someone is in pain during sex, it tells us - scientifically - that their body is denying pleasure at the minute, and it's our job to be curious and find out why. 

Pain is a symptom and not a diagnosis, because it's like the tip of the iceberg. We often ignore it just like Titanic ignored it, and we all know what happened.

Painful sex can have many underlying causes.

Think of pelvic muscles as muscular underwear inside the body.

For a woman, this muscular underwear would have 3 holes: a pee hole, an anus, and a vaginal hole. Tight muscles limit your ability to open those holes. 

Some of us try to power through to get better because our moms and Google tell us that it's normal, and it gets better the more you do it. My question is: if you've been having painful sex for a long time, and it didn't get better by the same things, why are you doing this to yourself? 

If it's not working, try something else.

These muscles have one job - to keep you safe. If it hurts, your brain and body are going to tighten muscles even more to protect you. When you try to push harder to power through, it makes it worse. 

You need the help of an expert to get to the root cause of what it is that makes your muscles react that way. 

We understand how the nervous system works with our muscles, and we know how to use pelvic floor physical therapy to help you get better so that you can experience the mind-blowing sex that you've been missing.

MYTH #3 - "IT'S JUST THIS ONE PROBLEM"

People often think that their pelvic problem is just that, and that there are no other issues with their health. What they forget is that hole health is your whole health. 

We may experience other sexual or pelvic health issues like fertility problems, yeast infection, constipation, etc.. These are all difficult to talk about because they're private. 

The intimate nature of these problems makes us hide those problems. However, the more I know about you the better I can help you. 

Pelvic muscles are all connected, so maybe you're having painful sex due to constipation or other pelvic issues I need to be aware of in order to help you as best as I can.

Sex problems aren't just sex problems, sometimes they are other health problems showing up as sex problems.
