Sarah speaks with Marysa Carter, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, DPT, PT who specializes in pelvic health and sex education. Let me answer your question before you finish. Yes, if you have a pelvis, YOU have a pelvic floor. Absolutely flooding with knowledge, Arkansas-based Marysa gives me the basics - like, what even is a pelvic floor? - in addition to covering deeper topics - such as myofascial pain, vaginismus, vulvodynia, dyspareunia, and endometriosis. If you struggle with pain, incontinence, or simply just want to learn to more: give this gorgeous area of your body the attention it craves! Start here. No prior knowledge needed!
