Pelvic floor therapy isn't just about Kegels—and it isn’t just for women. In this follow-up episode with pelvic health physical therapist Dr. Cara, we go deeper into what it really means to treat the whole person through the pelvic floor. From bowel issues to sexual pain to emotional trauma, this conversation reveals the wide-ranging impact pelvic health has on everyday life, and why so many patients—especially men—aren’t getting the care they need.
Together, we tackle misconceptions about chronic pain and the very real risks of following advice like “just do Kegel exercises.” They also explore how emotional wellness, professional collaboration, and inclusive communication shape better outcomes for patients of all genders and backgrounds.
Whether you're curious about how pelvic therapy works, frustrated by misdiagnosis, or simply want to feel seen in your health journey, this episode makes space for all of it—with honesty, heart, and humor.
