Heather Jeffcoat, DPT to be a Featured Speaker at the First Ever PelviCon in September

I’m so excited to be speaking at the first-ever PelviCon conference in September! It's a fantastic opportunity to speak directly to my friends, patients, and colleagues about the issues that matter to us most - the role of pelvic health in your overall well being.

While the in-person conference is sold out, PelviCon is making the recording available to those who aren’t able to attend live (if you are attending, you’ll get the recording free!). It will feature an incredible group of speakers covering some of the most important topics in pelvic health, and you will witness action-oriented presentations you can start using the next day!

Have You Ever Asked "How Do I Know If I Came or Accidentally Peed During Sex?"

You might be surprised to learn how common this question actually is.

Everyone knows the sensation of having to pee so bad that you thought you would explode. Perhaps the nearest public restrooms are closed for repairs, or you are stuck in traffic with no end in sight, or you're in a long line to get in a movie and you don't want to lose your place in line. In any case, that rush of relief that you feel when you finally get to go is probably the closest you can get to having an orgasm without actually doing so - with the possible exception of a really good sneeze!

My husband and I were having problems with painful intercourse. My therapist recommended that I go and get a pelvic floor evaluation from a physical therapist. Having never been treated by a physical therapist, I wondered how this really was going to help me. My husband who is a physician was very supportive and agreed that a PT evaluation would be a great idea. So i made the appointment and was blown away by what I learned. I had no idea that pelvic floor muscles could get tight and have trigger points just like any other muscle in the body. I'm a massage therapist and very familiar with tight muscles, and this new thought really amazed me. Heather's program to help relax and strengthen these muscles made such a difference. I can say that I am 100% pain free during intercourse now. Yippee! Going to the PT appointments and doing the at-home exercises was definitely a discipline, but it's 100% worth it! The rewards are amazing.
