Low-frequency TENS is designed to work a little differently.
Instead of fast stimulation, it uses slower pulses and a steady rhythm to help your body release endorphins, your natural pain relievers. This can help reduce pelvic pain and calm an overactive nervous system.
Think of it as a slower, deeper approach to pain relief.

Pe**le clamps are devices worn on the p***s to help prevent bladder leaks.
They can be a helpful option if urinary incontinence is getting in the way of things you enjoy, like exercising, socializing, or traveling. Like any tool, it’s important to use them correctly and understand when they’re appropriate.
Having options can make a big difference in confidence and quality of life.
In this video, I’m walking you through a female pelvic floor exam using real-time ultrasound over the belly. This lets us see the bladder and how the pelvic floor muscles move during contraction.
Important to know, this is not a diagnostic tool. It’s used to assess function, guide treatment, and help you better connect with your body.
Seeing it in real time can change how you understand your pelvic floor.
First up, the kettlebell good morning pelvic nerve glide.
Hold the kettlebell close to your chest, soften your knees, and take a slow breath in. As you exhale, hinge at your hips, let your belly soften, and allow your pelvis to move back.
As you fold forward, you may feel a stretch through your lower back and hamstrings. That increasing tension gently loads the sacral and pudendal nerves.
This is about controlled loading, not forcing the stretch.
This one came straight from my Patreon community.�
I’m walking you through my four favorite weighted movement exercises for relieving pelvic pain. These are neurodynamic load shifting exercises that help reduce sensitivity and improve movement across the pelvis, ge****ls, perineum, tailbone, and groin.�
The goal is to gently load the system, build tolerance, and help your body feel safer with movement again.�

There’s no one right way to have s*x with a stoma.
Your body is still capable of pleasure, intimacy, and deep connection. What matters is finding what feels physically comfortable and emotionally safe.
That also means being with a partner who respects your body exactly as it is.
S*x after ostomy surgery isn’t about doing it the “right” way. It’s about discovering what works for you.

Most people hear about getting hit in the balls and immediately wince. That reflex is real.
But not everyone experiences that sensation the same way. For some, impact or pressure to the testicles can be associated with arousal, depending on context, safety, and personal preference.
There’s a wide range of human experience here, and understanding it helps reduce shame and confusion.

How do you know if you have premature ej*******on, and what can you do about it?
Premature ej*******on, or PE, is the most common s*xual concern in men. What matters most is whether it happens consistently and whether it causes distress for you or your partner.
The good news is that effective strategies exist. Pelvic floor therapy improves muscle awareness and control. Behavioral strategies help retrain arousal patterns. Nervous system regulation techniques, such as diaphragmatic breathing, can reduce anxiety and improve endurance.
You have options, and you don’t have to navigate this alone.

How do you know if a pelvic floor therapist is p***s-friendly? If you have a p***s and you’re dealing with pelvic pain, testicular pain, erectile concerns, urinary issues, or recovery after prostate surgery, the provider you choose matters.
In this video, I walk through what to look for when choosing a pelvic floor therapist who’s comfortable working with men. From the language on their website, to how they talk about ge***al exams, to the training they’ve had in male pelvic health. You deserve care that’s respectful, informed, and actually tailored to your body.
Watch the video on YouTube to learn the signs of a p***s-friendly pelvic floor therapist and how to advocate for yourself when seeking pelvic health care.

Internal pelvic floor assessments are always collaborative.
They are typically performed with a gloved, lubricated finger, one finger, sometimes two, depending on tissue flexibility and your comfort level.
But what matters most is ongoing and affirming consent.
Every step is discussed, and you get to decide what feels safe and appropriate for you.
This is about building trust, not rushing through an exam.

This is what pelvic floor coordination looks like on ultrasound.
When the pelvic floor contracts, we want to see a lift at the bladder base or bladder neck. And we do see that here.
But we are also seeing something else. Downward pressure from the abdominals.
That creates a counterproductive pattern where you are lifting from below, but pushing down from above at the same time.
This is a common compensation.
Learning how to contract the pelvic floor without bearing down is key to improving coordination, reducing symptoms, and getting better outcomes with training.

Yes, I’m a professional. But I’m also a fun-loving human who does fun-loving human things. So to tell you about me, let’s start with the usual ‘cock’-tail talk… I'm a physiotherapist for your privates.
I'm not an M.D. or gynecologist. I train folks on how to be their own expert in treating whatever's going on ‘down there.’ I’m a licensed doctor of physical therapy, a board-certified pelvic rehabilitation practitioner, and a certified health coach. Simply put, I’m the physio for everything ‘down there.’
I spend 1:1 hands-on time with you, guiding you on how to be the expert in treating your pelvic pain. Want to get your life back on track? Let’s talk. Schedule a free 15-minute consult today.
If you’ve got something more than tissue-based pain like smelly ej*****te, blood in your urine, weird lumps and bumps that just popped outta nowhere, fever or chills, go see an M.D. They’re the guys who do all the blood tests and scans to make sure nothing more serious is going on.
If you're nervous about who to see or don't know where to even start, schedule a free 15-minute consult with me to see if you need me, an M.D., or both. Otherwise, if you want to know all the academic technical stuff, click here. You can also check out my F.A.Q. here!
