The Pelvic Floor Project
This podcast is for anyone with a pelvic floor. Pssst….. everyone has a pelvic floor. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles responsible for controlling our bodily functions. I refer to myself as a physiotherapist for embarrassing issues. I routinely help clients address symptoms like incontinence, prolapse, diastasis, pelvic pain, intimacy issues and the list goes on. A theme that stands out to me is how little we learn about our private parts and the muscles surrounding. This podcast is for you if you are interested in learning more about your body. Focused on the female, I cover topics pertinent to puberty, athletics, pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, menopause, surgery and so much more.I promise to share evidence based information through discussion with other health care experts in their field with the goal to showcase a holistic and empowering approach to taking care of the only body you will ever have. I hope you enjoy!

10. The pain in your vagina or pelvis with Jill Mueller
Pain is a common symptom that people experience. The most common that bring people in to see a pelvic health physio are:
- bladder pain
- pelvic pain (SI joint, pubic symphysis, hip)
- tailbone pain
- pain with intercourse
- pain associated with periods
- pain in the vagina, anus or vulva
In this episode we talk about:
- What pain is and what it is trying to tell us
- Why pain sometimes doesn’t go away
- How our brain and body gets increasingly sensitive to pain
- The role physiotherapists play
Our goal of this episode is to help you understand that your pain is real. It’s not all in your head…but it kind of is in your head… because it is all about your brain.
