The funniest, f***y, physio!

said “can we come and film your 5*, sell out comedy show?” I said “of course”, let them drag me round the bars in and they made this. .a.chew asked all of the verboten questions and edited it. I was brave enough to watch it, maybe you might like it too? It’s half an hour of us rambling on about taboos, health, physio, pelvic floors, me being a hateful bigot, comedy, science and why facts and s*x matter. That doesn’t mean gender doesn’t matter, but, s*x is definitely the bread and butter of a f***y physio’s day and no good is coming from pretending it’s not got an influence on a person’s life, health and well-being. I think they did a really good job of this wee film and it’s interesting that there has, as usual, been little pushback. Maybe that’s because of the ? Maybe it’s because I’m deadly serious about this stuff, am speaking from evidence not opinion and am desperate to be wrong. *xMatters https://youtu.be/BuY6FYZuW9U

Please! Just see a pelvic PT!

P.S. Menstrual pads do not stop urine leaks! Use an incontinence pad! (Even a light pad will absorb urine MUCH better than the largest menstrual pad!)

Speaking to The Telegraph, British Olympian Laura Gallagher Cox, 32, said she had 'been at competitions where she'd seen girls p*e as they take off'

Intimacy can continue despite pain and physical limitations…

Disabilities don't need to spell the end of your s*x life. In fact, s*x with physical restrictions may be an invitation to bring play into your life.
