I had the pleasure of joining Maya Kruger on the How Did You Get Here podcast 🎙️

This is exactly why I spent time teaching OBGYN residents at Montefiore Medical Center!

Because pelvic health education shouldn’t be something you have to stumble upon on Instagram. It should be the standard. It should be part of every conversation! It should reach you before you’re confused, dismissed, or told something is “just normal.”

Until that becomes reality, we’ll keep showing up here! Breaking things down, answering the questions no one taught you to ask, and making sure you understand your body in a way that actually makes sense.

You deserved this education a long time ago. And it’s not too late to learn it now! Follow us for more!

Dr. Riva Preil is a leading NYC Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist helping people answer questions like: Why does it hurt to put in a tampon? Why do I have to p*e all the time? Is pain with s*x normal? How can pelvic floor PT help endometriosis pain or postpartum recovery?

She specializes in pelvic health and pelvic wellness for women and men, treating conditions such as pelvic pain, painful s*x (dyspareunia), vaginismus, vulvodynia, bladder urgency and frequency, interstitial cystitis, constipation, incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, prenatal and postpartum conditions, and chronic pelvic pain. She also supports patients navigating endometriosis, IBS, and PCOS recovery, and treats pediatric bladder and bowel dysfunction.

Board Certified in Women’s Health Physical Therapy (WCS), Dr. Riva blends evidence-based care with a holistic approach, including advanced manual therapies including Lymphatic Drainage, Craniosacral Therapy and Visceral Mobilization. She’s also the author of This Inside Story: The Woman’s Guide to Lifelong Pelvic Health.
Known for meeting expert knowledge with humor, Dr. Riva makes uncomfortable topics approachable, understandable —and sometimes even funny—so patients and followers feel informed, validated, and less alone in their pelvic health journey.

Ready, Set, Push 💪

This one is all about preparation, not just pushing.

Using a trigger point ball on the posterior triangle can help release tension and create more space in the muscles that support your pelvic floor before labor. Think of it as giving your body a head start. Less tension going in can mean more ease when it matters most.

You can do this a few times a week on a yoga mat or even sitting in a chair. Simple, accessible, and actually effective.

Because protecting your pelvic floor starts before delivery, not after.

Follow along for more episodes of Ready, Set, Push!

S*x after a break can feel scary… but it doesn’t have to be.

Whether it’s your first time, postpartum, after a procedure, or following a period of pain, there are real physical and emotional reasons it might feel intimidating. Pain, anxiety, dryness, even fear your body is “not ready”… all valid.

You don’t have to push through it. You can prepare for it.

From understanding why pain can happen, to what bleeding might mean, to how your body and desire may have changed, this blog walks you through it in a way that actually makes sense.

You deserve an experience that feels safe, supported, and yes, even enjoyable.

Tomorrow at 5:30 PM I am going live with Maya Kruger, psychotherapist and owner of - who specializes in supporting the woman behind the mother.

We are diving into something that does not get talked about enough: what it really means to mother yourself while you are busy mothering everyone else.

This is not just an emotional conversation. It is physical too.
We will talk about how perinatal anxiety and mood disorders show up in the body. Not just as thoughts, but as tension, pain, and disconnection.

We will also get into how trauma can surface during pelvic floor work and why that matters for healing.
And something I see all the time but rarely hear said out loud: how hard it can be to reconnect with your body as your own after becoming a mother. When parts of your body have been so tied to pregnancy, birth, and caregiving, it can feel confusing or even uncomfortable to experience them as s*xual again.

If this resonates, this conversation is for you.
Set a reminder and join us live.

Assumption Check ✔️
�Let’s not assume… that leaking after having a baby is just your “new normal.”

Many people think it’s inevitable, but it’s not. Pelvic floor muscles can be retrained, and you can regain control and confidence.

When we assume this is just part of postpartum life, we risk leaving people struggling in silence instead of offering solutions!

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨
BREAK IT DOWN w/ Dr. Riva:

American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists updated their guidelines on endometriosis diagnosis… and this is huge.

For YEARS, people have been told the only way to officially diagnose endometriosis was through surgery.

Now? That is changing (!!!)

These new guidelines support diagnosing endometriosis based on symptoms, imaging, and clinical judgment so you can get answers and start treatment sooner without needing surgery first.

This is a massive step forward for the endometriosis community.

If you have been told your pain is normal or brushed off, this is your reminder to keep advocating for yourself.

Watch the full breakdown to understand what this means for you and your care.

The Truth About... Pain with Tampons

If you have ever thought “maybe this is just how it is”… or “I just have to get used to it”... this is your sign that it is not.

Pain with tampon use is often brushed off as a sizing issue or something you just need to get used to. But that is not the full story.

In many cases, this comes down to pelvic floor tension, coordination, or sensitivity!
NOT something you are doing wrong!

You do not have to avoid tampons or push through discomfort. There is a reason this is happening and there is support to help you feel more comfortable in your body. Pelvic Floor PT can make tampon use comfortable & pain free.

If this resonates with you, you are not alone and you do not have to figure it out on your own. Free phone consults are linked in my bio if you want a more personalized approach.

Assumption Check ✔️
�Let’s Not Assume…�that every pediatric patient has a mom & a dad.

Families come in all shapes and sizes.
�Single parents. Two moms. Two dads. Grandparents. Foster parents. Guardians. Blended families. Co-parents. Caregivers.

When we assume, we risk excluding the very people who are showing up with love and support.

In pediatric pelvic floor PT, it’s not just about treating the child — it’s about honoring the family system around them.

Language matters. Inclusion matters. Every family deserves to feel seen. 💛
