The Pelvic Freak Show

GLP-1s have become a major trigger word recently (especially online). It seems these days every other commercial or ad is for a GLP-1 medication. We get asked all the time, “What do you think about GLP-1s as physical therapists?” So, to answer that question, we’re bringing on one of our own to talk about it! The lovely Dr. Hannah Kotsiris, our colleague at The Pelvic Institute and an amazing pelvic floor therapist, is joining us to deep dive into GLP-1s and what they could mean for certain pelvic health conditions we commonly see. We’re breaking down the science, looking beyond weight loss, and exploring their emerging potential for PMOS (formerly PCOS), endometriosis, inflammation, and more. Plus, we’re tackling the myths, side effects, and what you actually need to know before jumping on the GLP-1 train. Have a question or story?

We’re entering the chat: Is the internal exam necessary to assess the pelvic floor? There has been a lot of buzz on social media and arguments between pelvic floor therapists on whether or not internal exams are necessary (especially within the past few weeks). So we’re here today to give our stance on this.The fact that this is even a discussion begs the question: what is the greater purpose of calling into question the gold standard assessment tool of a healthcare practice that has been through the ringer to advocate for women’s healthcare access, quality of care, and improved outcomes. Listen in and let us know what you think in the comments, pelvic freaksPodcast referenced in this episode for more information regarding this topic: https://open.spotify.com/show/77XnQP7jf6Z49XDOX25ZFE?si=674e6d7adcba4b9dHave a question or story?

Women’s Health Terms That Need to DIEOkay you caught us… We’re complaining again!! Get over it! This episode was created from an instagram post that Amanda was scrolling by and we knew we had to talk about it. If you don’t know, there’s a pretty hefty list of terms used in women’s health that are SEVERELY outdated. Some (emphasis on some) of the terms we talk about today aren’t used anymore (thankfully) but the fact that these terms have even existed AT ALL will blow your mind. Listen today to a fun episode of us getting angry about terms that need to respectfully pass away.Have a question or story?

Join us for our second video podcast episode back and our first episode of Pride Month 2026! Today, we're diving into an introduction to strap-ons. In honor of Pride Month, this conversation is geared more toward sapphic relationships, though strap-ons can be enjoyed by people of all genders and can be used for both vaginal and anal penetration.For many people, strap-ons can be an exciting new way to explore intimacy, but they can also feel a little intimidating at first. In this episode, we cover the basics of strap-on play, ways to prepare, what to do if penetration is painful, tips for pegging and anal play, and some of the ways strap-on penetration can differ from penetration with a penis.Happy Pride Month from your pelvic freaks and make sure to tune in next week for our 100th episode!Buy yourself a new toy from Banana Split!: https://bananasplitshop.com/PELVICFREAKCode: PELVICFREAK for 10% offHave a question or story?

New updates in women’s health? You already know we’re all over it. Today we are discussing what's been all over the headlines in our world: the recent change in the name of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) to Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS). To some people this may not sound like much, but today we discuss the importance of the name change and what it means for people with PMOS and the future of women’s health and other commonly missed diagnoses.Link to article referenced: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(26)00717-8/fulltextHave a question or story?

This week we’re answering two of our favorite listener questions we’ve received recently: First, we dive into a topic nobody talks about enough: fecal smearing and the endless wipe cycle. We discuss how pelvic floor dysfunction, muscle coordination, stool consistency, and more can contribute (and what you can do about it).Then we’re talking about why penetration can feel wildly different from partner to partner, what actually creates pleasurable sensation, things that could impair sensation, reasons a partner could feel too large, and why your vagina is not too picky or broken. This question leads us down a wide array of topics: purity culture, nervous system regulation, how you can use masturbation to help you discover your pelvic floor dysfunction, and more. Plus we talk about: what good penetration is actually supposed to feel like.Bonus in this episode- Amanda shares an important life update!As always, we’re blending pelvic floor education with zero shame and lots of honesty.

We get so many questions about dilators, and honestly, we get it. When people first see them in the clinic, the reaction is usually something like… “Wait, that’s for WHAT?” 😅But here’s the thing: dilators can be incredibly helpful tools, and they don’t have to feel intimidating or scary. We highly recommend dilators for people with chronic pain from things like endometriosis or polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). We also recommend them for people navigating pain with sex or difficulty tolerating pelvic exams that are needed for medical care.In this episode, we’re breaking it all down. This is your go to guide for getting started with dilators. We cover:• how to actually use them • how to habit stack them into your routine • tips to make them more comfortable and less painful • why we sometimes recommend dilators over a wand • how to build the confidence to start using themAnd don’t forget to check out the links below for discounts on some of our favorite pelvic floor PT approved brands!Link to VWell Dilators (use code: pelvicfreak for 15% off): https://vwell.com/discount/pelvicfreak?ref=pelvicfreakLink to Intimate Rose Dilators (use code: pelvicfreak for 10% off):https://www.intimaterose.com/PELVICFREAKHave a question or story?

You’ve done pelvic floor PT, your stress incontinence has improved… but you’re still sneezing, jumping, or laughing and ~sometimes~ leaking still. In this episode, we discuss what to do when your SUI progress hits a plateau. Maybe you’ve convinced yourself you can just live with how it is now. Maybe you’re a physical therapist tuning in because your patients have hit a plateau and you don’t know why you can’t get them to 100% leak-free. We are here to tell you there’s more you can do and we can treat this. We dive into tips, next-step treatments, and exercises/interventions to strengthen your pelvic floor so you can finally feel confident (and dry!) during workouts, sneezes, laughs, and everyday life. If you’ve been living with occasional leaks and wondering, “I thought I tried everything, now what?”, this episode is for you, pelvic freaks!As always, thanks so much for your questions so we can make our episode guided towards what you want to hear!Have a question or story?

What even is the pelvic floor and why are people finally talking about it?We realize that a lot of people don’t actually know what the pelvic floor is or what pelvic health really is. In this episode, we get into how pelvic health is finally getting more attention, where we’re seeing that shift, and why we’re intentional about using “pelvic health” instead of “women’s health.”We also talk about why this is a health podcast, not a wellness podcast (yes, we have some thoughts on that), and why pelvic health isn’t just another trend. It’s real, necessary care that’s been overlooked for way too long.Then we break it down simply. What the pelvic floor actually is, what it does, and what all we can help you with (like bladder leaks, pain with sex, constipation, postpartum recovery, and much much more)Have a question or story?

In today’s episode, we’re calling out the ONE thing we see people do all the time that they think is helping them orgasm… but is actually doing the opposite.If your orgasms feel underwhelming or inconsistent, this could be the reason why. It’s something we see constantly in pelvic health, and most people have no idea it’s working against them.If you’ve been chasing better orgasms without success, this episode will help you understand what’s actually going on in your body (and what to change).Have a question or story?

Botox isn’t just for treating wrinkles, it’s also being used as a treatment for pelvic floor dysfunction. In this episode, we’re talking about Botox for overly tight or overactive pelvic floor muscles and why it’s gaining attention as a treatment option for pelvic pain conditions.You already know what time it is,  it’s time to look at the evidence. We break down the research on pelvic floor Botox and discuss what studies say about its use for conditions like pelvic pain, vaginismus, and painful sex (dyspareunia). We also talk about when Botox may be considered, how it works to relax pelvic floor muscles, and how it fits alongside pelvic floor physical therapy.Finally, we share our own thoughts and clinical experiences treating patients with pelvic floor dysfunction and discuss when Botox might (or might not) be helpful.If Botox for pelvic pain or a tight pelvic floor is something you’ve been considering, we’re breaking it all down on this episode.Article Referenced In this Episode:  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7793632/pdf/nihms-1561615.pdfHave a question or story?

New research in women’s health alert! Y’all already know we had to jump on this. You’ve heard us complain many times that we need more research in women’s health, it’s mandatory at this point. We want to be the podcast that gives you the most up to date evidence-based information for your body, for your sex life, for your health, for YOU. All of our clinical impressions come from evidence based practice. We look at research all the time but we don’t always talk about specific studies on the podcast. Today we analyze a study looking at different birthing positions and their impact on perineal tearing. We get questions all the time “What’s the best position to deliver a baby in?” “What position can help guarantee I won’t tear” “What are things I can do to prevent tearing during child birth” If you’ve found yourself asking these questions, this research based episode is for you.Article Referenced In this Episode: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41572012/Have a question or story?

We often talk about things we disagree with on this podcast. Frankly, we like to complain. Because let’s be real, have you seen the world we live in lately? But it’s the year of the horse, pelvic freaks. We’re taking this as a sign for us to be a little more positive this year. We decided to challenge ourselves this episode by finding something nice to say about various things we’ve hated-on throughout our many episodes. Topics range from pelvic floor topics that make us angry to something as simple as… men. This episode is hilarious in our opinion, but we obviously think we are the funniest people alive. Do you hate this episode idea? If you do, try finding something nice to say with a five star rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.Have a question or story?

Maybe you were cheated on years ago. Maybe you’re going through it right now. Either way, if you’ve experienced it, you already know how soul-crushing it can be. Unfortunately (but also… kind of fortunately?), we’ve both been there, and today it’s finally time to get into it.On this long-overdue episode, we’re sharing our own cheating stories. Plot twist: it’s actually one of the things that led to us becoming such great friends. We’re spilling all the tea: what happened, what it felt like, what we learned, and turning it into real advice for anyone navigating infidelity, betrayal, and the messy aftermath.In this episode we get real about:The positive things that come from getting cheated onWhy getting cheated on feels so destabilizingThe nervous system spiral that happens after betrayalHow cheating impacts intimacy and your sex lifeThe work it takes to improve trust in your next partner or relationship or even with casual sexHow to have good sex again after infidelityRebuilding trust in a new relationship (or in casual dating)Forgiving someone but your body not feeling safe yetCouples therapy before marriage (our thoughts)Staying vs. leaving after cheating (aka choose your hard)Remember, it really does get better, pelvic freaks.

If you’ve survived this far in 2025, you’re probably feeling exhausted (we definitely are). In this episode, we’re diving into BURNOUT. You’ve heard the term, but do you know how to recognize it in yourself? We break down the key signs, why taking a break doesn’t mean quitting, and how pausing could actually be better for your physical, mental, and emotional health.We share what burnout looks like in our real lives, and what feeling burnout with PT looks like: because sometimes “always working to get better” isn’t actually making you better.Have a question or story?

In Part 2 of our conversation with Roxxie the Riveter, we shift from the history and stigma of sex work (covered in last week’s episode) into the real-life health and healthcare experiences of sex workers today.Roxxie opens up about the pelvic and physical demands of her work, the movement practices that support her body, and the challenges of seeking care in a world where sex work is still heavily stigmatized. We discuss what truly sex-positive healthcare looks like, how providers can better support sex workers, and the misconceptions that need to be left behind.We also get into what a “day in the life” looks like for Roxxie, along with her vision for what an ideal sex worker retreat should include. Plus, she joins us for a follower-driven Stripper Q&A and our “Here’s the Thing” hot-takes segment to close out the episode.🔌 from this 2 part series:The Ethical Stripper: Sex, Work and Labour Rights in the Night-time Economy By Stacey ClareP-Valley TV seriesEssential Clinical Care for Sex Workers: A Sex-Positive Handbook for Mental Health Practitioners by Jamila Dawson and Theodore R.

In part one of this two-part series, we’re pulling back the curtain on what sex work actually is: beyond the stereotypes, the fear-based narratives, and the stigma that has shaped public perception for generations. We’re talking erotiphobia,  the “whorearchy,” cultural myths, and why conversations about sex work matter more than ever.Joining us is the incredible Roxxie the Riveter, a stripper, pole instructor and performer, Pilates teacher and teacher trainer, and the owner of CoreBound Pilates, a rehab- and prefab-focused movement studio created for sex workers, pole dancers, and anyone seeking a pain-free, long-lasting movement practice. In this episode, Roxie shares her journey into the industry, the realities of sex work versus common misconceptions, the role of identity in shaping her experience, and how media myths continue to shape public attitudes. We explore what happens when sex is viewed through a moral lens instead of a labor lens, how stigma shows up in everyday life, and what a truly sex-positive, inclusive understanding of sex work could look like.Next week in Part 2, we’ll shift into the healthcare perspective: diving into patient and provider experiences, barriers to care, and how clinicians can create inclusive spaces for sex workers. We’ll also be answering your submitted questions.Tune in to Part 1 to meet Roxie, challenge your assumptions, and start unpacking the layers surrounding sex work, sexuality, and stigma. This is a conversation you won’t want to miss.💋🔌 from this episode:The Ethical Stripper: Sex, Work and Labour Rights in the Night-time Economy By Stacey ClareP-Valley TV seriesEssential Clinical Care for Sex Workers: A Sex-Positive Handbook for Mental Health Practitioners by Jamila Dawson and Theodore R.

Need we say more? It's episode 69. We're here to talk all things oral sex. How it benefits your pelvic floor, how to enjoy it more, how to have more confidence when going down on someone, how to feel more confident when someone is going down on you, how to be more comfortable giving head, how it makes sex better. NEED WE SAY MORE? Why wouldn't you listen? It's our best episode yet. Listen now. Unless you're our family. Disclaimer for this episode. We are talking about oral sex today, but we want to make sure that when we're giving you advice, you know that you should be safe when you have oral sex with someone, as safe as you would be with penetrative sex in terms of STI risk and screening for that.

We start off this week’s ‘sode with a quick chat about The Hunting Wives - don’t worry, no spoilers (Amanda hasn’t even finished it yet). Then we dive into a listener question that inspired this week’s topic: “What are your full workout routines as pelvic floor PTs?” We share what our workout schedules look like on a perfect week… and then what actually happens when life is just… life-ing. (because let’s be honest, consistency is hard, none of us have it all together, and don’t make us feel guilty about it!!).That conversation naturally leads us into a deeper topic: passion burnout. The current state of the world can make it hard to feel joy or motivation - and sometimes makes us feel guilty when we do. We talk about how that impacts our hobbies and everyday life and how we can face it and start finding some balance again.Have a question or story?

We start off this episode today with a spicy/hilariously stupid would you rather - Pelvic Freak edition (no literally I died editing this haha). I don't want to spoil this for you so you're going to have to listen. Then, we dive into a discussion on what scar tissue is, why scars can become numb or hypersensitive, and how to heal them with PT. Even the smallest scars that you don’t think are related to your pelvic floor could be impacting your chronic pain (it’s crazy- but we can help). We also touch on perineal tears, since this is also a form of scar tissue we treat, and discuss the term “The C-Section Shelf”.

Becoming a pelvic floor PT isn’t just about learning how to treat, it’s also about learning to embrace the awkward and anxious as well. Welcome Kay Mastrocola to The Pelvic Freak Show! Kay is a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist and mental health meme maker.

We’ve seen the phrase “decentering men” trending lately- and we’re not mad about it. Listen to this week’s episode to hear how we’ve learned to decenter men, why it’s important, and how you can too (even if you’re in a relationship with a man).This episode isn’t about hating men, it’s about challenging the patriarchy and shifting focus back to yourself. Listen to the full ‘sode to see how we connect this mindset into pelvic health of course.

Amanda watched Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser and we have some things to SAY about it (ofc we do, you know us). In this episode, we share our takes on the documentary and how we think the show influenced society’s views on weight loss, health, and fitness. We also talk about why we love Physical Therapy and how it helped us step away from the idea that “success” in health and fitness = being thin. PT taught us that true success isn’t about a number on the scale- it’s about feeling safe in your body, moving with ease, and living without shame. If you are someone listening to this episode and have ever struggled with weight and feeling comfortable in your own skin, just know both of us can relate and we are here for you! You are beautiful in your own body and we can’t wait for y’all to listen.xoxo, hannah and amandaHave a question or story?
