Most pelvic floor work isn’t really about the muscle… it’s about the brain’s response to what’s happening.

A lot of clinicians get stuck in theory; the “clock method,” vague pressure points, random releases and struggle to translate that into real change.

If the brain feels unsafe or confused, the pelvic floor won’t budge.
If the brain feels clear and supported, tone drops.

In this video, I’m showing how simple soft-tissue work in hooklying can create immediate shifts when you target the nervous system, not just the anatomy.

This is the difference between:
aimless poking & intentional input that actually changes symptoms.

Pelvic rehab should be specific, informed, and effective.

If you're in the middle of a PGAD flare-up, I know how intense and exhausting it can feel. Sometimes, just getting a moment of relief makes all the difference. Cold therapy — like gently placing a wrapped ice pack on the area — can help calm nerve endings and reduce the overwhelming sensations. Some people also find relief using topical anesthetics like lidocaine to numb the area for a little while.

These aren’t long-term fixes, but in tough moments, they can help you breathe again. Please be gentle with yourself, and check in with a trusted healthcare provider before trying anything new.

Small lifestyle changes can make a big difference in managing Persistent Ge***al Arousal Disorder (PGAD) symptoms.

While PGAD is complex, pelvic floor physical therapists often recommend supportive daily habits that help reduce discomfort and improve quality of life.

Lifestyle tips a PT might suggest:

🧘‍♀️ Mindfulness & breathwork to calm the nervous system

🚶‍♀️ Gentle movement (like walking or yoga) to improve blood flow and reduce tension

🪑 Postural awareness & ergonomic changes — avoiding long periods of sitting, using cushions, or adjusting your workspace

👖 Avoiding tight clothing around the pelvic area

🌙 Sleep hygiene & stress reduction techniques to support hormonal and nervous system balance

💧 Staying hydrated and maintaining regular bowel habits to avoid straining and pressure on pelvic nerves

These daily habits, combined with pelvic floor therapy, can play a powerful role in reducing PGAD flare-ups.
