Ever heard of the trigeminocardiac reflex?
Face + jaw input → vagus nerve activation → nervous system calming.
A simple, neurologic way to reduce guarding and abnormal pelvic floor tension.
Save this.

Let’s talk about the pudendal nerve… a small but mighty nerve that is in charge of powering your pelvic floor (both muscle contractions and sensation) and much more!
Watch in this video as our own Dr. Julie Sarton reviews the pathway of this nerve as it comes out of your sacrum in your back and wraps its way down to the pelvic floor muscles/organs.
We treat a condition called pudendal neuralgia, which occurs when there is irritation or compression of the pudendal nerve along its pathway. The pain can feel like burning, stabbing, or pressure, in your ge****ls/around the pelvis. It’s real, often invisible, and frequently misdiagnosed.
If you’ve been told “it’s all in your head,” it’s not. Pudendal neuralgia deserves more awareness, better support, and real answers.
We treat patients across the globe with this condition. If you believe you may have pudendal neuralgia, we are here to support you. Give us a call at (714) 770-8222💜✨

Your morning routine is not an accident. You wake up, turn off your alarm, head straight to the bathroom or the coffee pot (something like that, right?)
Your brain has become dependent on the neurological pathways formed by the repeated succession of these habits.
Now, in response to pain or injury, the brain can undergo HUGE changes.
For a visual representation, here’s our sensory homunculus. Let’s say your pain originates in the ge****ls – maybe it’s a UTI, chronic prostatitis, whatever it is – THAT is where the sensory information came in.
As that area continues to be triggered (maybe it’s uncomfortable for you to sit, have s*x, etc.) – the pain may spread. That’s because the neurons surrounding the ge***al area are becoming more sensitive. What once was ge***al pain has now migrated to your thigh, knee, foot, or a different part of your body.
This is called cortical remapping. We’ve run that pain pathway so frequently, that sometimes even walking in a certain pair of shoes triggers ge***al pain, for example. We see this with a lot with chronic pin conditions, fibromyalgia, and phantom limb pain.
Being able to track the sources and triggers of your pain is a huge step in your pelvic healing journey.

Even pelvic healers have their off days! From wobbly moves to unexpected giggles, 2025 kept us laughing (and learning) every step of the way.
Here’s to finding joy in the journey… and sometimes in the bloopers too! 😂

A hypertonic (overactive) pelvic floor doesn’t just show up as “tight muscles.”
It can affect how you p*e, p**p, move, feel, and connect.
Bladder symptoms.
Bowel dysfunction.
Pain with s*x.
Nerve pain.
Hip, back, tailbone, and pelvic joint pain.
These are not random.
They’re often signs of a pelvic floor that’s stuck in protection.
January is about letting go of what no longer serves you... like a pelvic floor that’s been working overtime (no clenching!)
It’s about resetting the nervous system, restoring coordination, and teaching the pelvic floor that it’s safe to let go.
Healing starts with regulation, not pushing harder.

A dysregulated nervous system = a guarded pelvic floor.
A guarded pelvic floor = slowed lymphatic flow.
Slowed lymph = waste buildup.
Waste buildup = inflammation.
You can’t detox a body stuck in survival mode.
You can’t drain tissue that never feels safe enough to soften.
Blood delivers.
Nerves regulate.
Lymph cleans.
Miss one, and healing is delayed.
The body doesn’t suffer because it’s “toxic.” It suffers when it can’t drain, especially through the pelvis!
The lymphatic system isn’t optional.
Neither is a pelvic floor that can move, soften, and respond.

Your tongue is part of your fascial system!👅
Treating tension in the tongue can release restrictions all the way down your body through the deep front line of fascia that connects your tongue to your neck, diaphragm, pelvic floor, and even your toes.
This is why addressing oral tension (from clenching, tongue ties, mouth breathing, etc.) can change how you breathe, how you walk, and even how your pelvis feels.
The body is deeply connected, and sometimes the root of your hip or pelvic pain might just be… your tongue.💡�

Pelvic health is one of the last and often poorly understood frontiers for both men and women. Currently, many suffer in silence or search relentlessly for answers, only to become frustrated by a lack of true understanding and expertise in the medical community. Sarton Physical Therapy practitioners understand that pelvic pain, s*xual pain, pelvic organ prolapse or urinary leakage have the power to influence every aspect of one's existence—the ability to enjoy work, play, life, family and personal relationships. Many patients often wonder, "Am I the only one? What is wrong with me? Why is it so difficult to find help?" Fortunately, help is available to both men and women who do not need to suffer in isolation.
