Episode 91: Why You Can't Fix Painful Sex By Having Painful Sex
In Episode 91 of the Not Your Mother's Pelvic Floor Podcast, Aliya explains why simply having more painful sex can't fix painful sex.
Inspired by a question sent in by a community member on Instagram, Aliya dives deep into why the advice or belief that just "doing it more" will one day result in pain-free sex. She also explains reasons why we may have painful sex (or dyspareunia) and suggests some ways to start to move forward on a journey towards pain-free (and pleasurable) sex.
Aliya mentioned how her online pelvic floor program called THE PELVIC FLOOR MOBILITY PROGRAM can help you in your journey to pain-free sex. This is an online movement based program filled with follow along pelvic floor exercise videos designed by Aliya, a Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist and based on the exact exercises she teaches her patients. To date, this program has helped hundreds of women fix their pelvic floor problems through a whole-body approach that includes breath work, stretching, mobility, pelvic floor + core strengthening, and stress reduction.
