Pelvic Floor Health & Painful Sex: What You Need to Know ft. Dr. Sara Panek

Send us Fan MailPain during sex is never something you should just push through — and it's never something you have to figure out alone. In this episode, Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP, sits down with Dr. Sara Panek, pelvic floor physical therapist and founder of Prosper Physical Therapy and Pelvic Rehab, to talk about one of the most common and most overlooked causes of painful sex: pelvic floor dysfunction. Dr. Panek has helped hundreds of women overcome pain and fear around intimacy, and in this episode she breaks it all down in a way that is clear, compassionate, and completely judgment-free. Topics covered: what the pelvic floor is and why it matters for sexual health, the most common causes of pain during sex, how pelvic floor dysfunction develops and who it affects, what pelvic floor physical therapy actually involves, vaginismus, pelvic tension, and postpartum pelvic issues, and when to seek help and what to expect from treatment. Dr. Panek and Prosper Physical Therapy offer both in-person and telehealth options for patients outside the Sioux Falls, SD area. Find her at prosperphysicaltherapysd.com, on Instagram and Facebook at @prosperphysicaltherapysd, or call 605-368-4665 to schedule a free consultation.Work with Dr. [email protected] with Between the Sheets:IG: @ReviveISHEmail: [email protected]
