A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to interview , a s*x therapist and psychologist who specializes in purity culture.
I chose to share this clip not because it’s sensational but as someone who didn’t grow up with as much exposure to purity culture, it was eye opening for me. Dr. Money also did a great job explaining how all of us, regardless of religious upbringing, have been exposed to purity culture in one way or another.
And these stories were told as children, these beliefs that work their way into the conscious and subconscious parts of our brain, can contribute to Female Sexual Interest/Arousal Disorder. More on that in a blog post coming later this week.
If you’ve struggled with arousal or or**sm, this conversation may be worth a listen.

The purpose of any mobility exercise is to nudge your body in ways it doesn’t typically move while simultaneously introducing more space into your joints and flexibility into your muscles.
We recommend starting a daily mobility flow in the third trimester of pregnancy to help prepare your body for birth!
Check out our free birth prep mobility flow for an easy 10 minute place to begin 💕

We’re so grateful for this amazing patient for volunteering to come in for our c-section scar dry needling workshop. taught our PTs different needling techniques to most effectively address scar restrictions.
If you experience stiffness, numbness or discomfort, dry needling may be able to help! The patient in our workshop described the sensation as uncomfortable with a burn, but tolerable. Wondering if this may be appropriate for you? Give us a call or send over an ema.

While pelvic exams are never a requirement of pelvic floor PT, they offer us an opportunity of better understanding what’s happening in your body. But when does a re**al exam make sense versus a vaginal exam?
Read through today’s post to learn more and drop all of your questions below!
03/09/2026
This week, we’re going ti be talking all about pelvic exams. We’ll talk about vaginal exams and re**al exams. We’ll talk about why we do them, what you may experience and how the differ from a traditional pelvic exam done at your OB’s office.
But to start us off - know that they’re never a requirement. While we get great information from pelvic exams, which is why we do them, what matters most is that you’re comfortable an on board with every aspect of assessment and treatment.
If a pelvic exam is what’s keeping you from seeing a pelvic floor PT, we have so many more tools in our tool box.
So what questions do you have about pelvic exams? Ask and I’ll be answering all week!
Be the first to know and let us send you an email when Lady Bird Physical Therapy posts news and promotions. Your email address will not be used for any other purpose, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
I want to introduce myself to you all. My name is Rebecca Maidansky and I am a pelvic floor physical therapist and the founder of Lady Bird Physical Therapy. I came to Austin, by way of San Francisco, from Philadelphia. That’s where I got my Doctorate in Physical Therapy. I used to joke that I got here by taking a wrong turn somewhere, but who can blame me? I moved in July.
I’ve always been a vocal advocate of women’s rights and health. Too often I hear new mom’s say “I wish I had known..,” Why didn’t anyone tell me...” My mission is to reach more people and help guide them through the beautiful but wild ride that is pregnancy and the postpartum period. I want you to know what changes you can expect in your body and how to best prepare for them.
I also want you to know how valuable physical therapy can be for you. If you are having pain while sitting, walking, having s*x, exercising, taking care of your child... doing anything, physical therapy can help you. You are not alone. If you are having difficulty controlling your bladder when you cough, sneeze, laugh or walk, physical therapy can help. These are common experiences. If you are having trouble controlling your gas, getting in and out of bed, or if you generally feel weak, once again, physical therapy can help.
Obviously, I’m bias, but I love conservative care. I love that PT is an option that has no negative side effects. I love that I can help you reclaim your body and life. I love that I can help you avoid pain and surgery.
Ok, now I’ll get off my soap box. If you’re wondering whether I am the right fit to help you meet your goals, shoot me an email and we can set up a free 15 minute phone consultation. If I’m not, I’ll do my best to point you in the right direction.
