Most people don’t talk about q***fing, but if it’s happened to you, you know how awkward it can feel. A q***f (sometimes called a “va**nal fart”) is simply the release of trapped air from the va**na. It usually happens during exercise, yoga, s*x, or even when you stand up quickly after lying...

At our pelvic floor physical therapy practice, we often see patients who’ve been quietly suffering with urinary urgency, frequency, and pelvic pain — sometimes for years. Many have been told it’s “just a UTI,” others are given a vague diagnosis of Interstitial Cystitis (IC) or are left won...

🚫 A “tight” va**na ≠ a healthy va**na 🚫
Pelvic floor muscles that are too tight can actually cause pain with s*x, constipation, urinary urgency, and even back or hip pain.

Flexible
Coordinated

Do you feel like you always have to p*e — even when you just went? Do you plan your outings around bathroom access? Or maybe you’ve been treated for multiple UTIs, but your urine cultures keep coming back negative? If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many people struggle with urinary fr...

If you’ve ever mentioned s*xual pain — whether it's discomfort with in*******se, burning, tightness, or an inability to relax — chances are someone, somewhere, has said: “Just have a glass of wine.” It’s usually meant kindly — a way to suggest relaxing or "not overthinking it." But fro

Perimenopause is a major hormonal shift in a woman’s life—and while most people expect hot flashes and mood swings, fewer talk about the effects these changes can have down there. Let’s change that. If you’re between your late 30s and early 50s and noticing pelvic heaviness, dryness, leaking...
