Modern science is finding a connection between physical ailments, biology, and spirituality. I know it sounds too mystical, but believe in magic for a moment. Scientists are discovering that life is in fact made of energy rather than the previously thought matter.

Pregnancy is beautiful. How vagical is it that us women can create a human inside of our bodies!? It is however really common to have pain during pregnancy. During pregnancy our body is emitting tons of hormones for ligament, tendinous, and muscle laxity. When this happens our joints are really unstable. When our joints are unstable, things are shifting out of place and can be really uncomfortable.

Dyspareunia is the fancy word for pain with sexual intercourse. Most often this occurs in women, although it can still happen with men. Typically this pain occurs with vaginal penetration. The Vagician can help with all types of pain with intercourse, but for simplicity and commonality we will focus on pain with vaginal penetration.  

After any sort of trauma to this area, the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) typically want to protect you, so they will tighten up and go into a spastic state. This can lead to consistent pain that doesn’t have much of a rhyme or reason as to when or why it is occuring.  Pelvic floor therapists can help retrain the muscles to lengthen, relax, and decrease the spasms.

Most of us triathletes have a lot of slow twitch muscle fibers, but not as many fast twitch fibers. So when we have that pounding force on our pelvic floor, or that stress on our pelvic floor, our fast twitch fibers are not coordinating quickly enough to close off the urinary outlet (the urethral sphincter), leading to peeing our pants.

The pelvic floor muscles also help with bowel control. Sometimes when our muscles aren’t strong enough we will have fecal leakage or even constipation.

Urge Urinary Incontinence (UUI) is described as a sudden and often frequent, urgent sensation to have to use the bathroom. This may result in leakage suddenly and/or on the way to the restroom. One major reason this is happening is because the pelvic floor muscles may not be quite strong enough and not coordinating quickly enough, thus leading to urgency, frequency, and leakage.

Endometriosis is defined as the occurrence of tissue that normally lines the uterus starts to grow outside of the uterus. This can lead to some abdominal and pelvic discomfort and pain. Similar to IC/bladder pain and chronic pelvic pain, there can be a central nervous system disruption leading to a centralization of pain.
