What we talked about

  • How a tight pelvic floor may play a part in bladder discomfort, urgency and frequency.
  • Why the pelvic floor may be worth asking about when a bladder exam comes back clear.
  • What to expect at a first pelvic floor physical therapy evaluation, and how to find a qualified therapist.
  • Why a hands-on assessment matters before any at-home pelvic floor care.
  • Gentle at-home care between visits, with product demonstrations.
  • Everyday comfort for sensitive vulvar and vaginal tissue.
  • A simple daily routine, and your questions.

This is an educational conversation and it does not replace care from your healthcare provider. Please talk to your provider before starting something new.
