Less Painful S*x and Urinary Issues with...

Cory Ruth
About this episode

So many of us silently struggle with s*xual pain. Not only can it lead to a loss of libido, it can cause s*xual fear and s*xual distress. If we can’t even admit our issues to our parents or our partners, who can we talk to?!

Meet Janelle Howell, Doctor of Physical Therapy and CEO of The Vagina Rehab Doctor. Dr. Howell is no stranger to diving into these topics in depth to erase the shame and stigma, and guide her clients into finally experiencing more comfort, more control, painless s*x, and pleasure. 

If you’ve been told to “just kegel!” learn why this is incorrect, lazy, and misguided advice and finally understand what’s driving your pelvic floor struggles, including prolapse, urinary leakage, and tightness along with what you can do to make improvements.  

Diet, stress, mindset, emotions, and muscle control are so integral to our healing journey. I know you’re going to LOVE this episode; Dr. Howell’s passion for these topics shines through in everything she does. Pull up a chair and let’s get it going!
