More Than Muscles - Integrating Sex Therapy Into Pelvic PT

The brain is widely considered the largest sex organ and imperative for normal sexual function. However, conversations around the psychological component of our patients symptoms can sometimes feel awkward or even dismissive.

Participants will listen to a panel of sex therapists discuss...

  • How patients with sexual dysfunction benefit from sex therapy
  • Creating non-judgmental environments for discussions of sexual health
  • Navigating sexual dysfunction impacted by a history of trauma
  • Creating emotional boundaries with patients and avoiding professional burnout
  • Referral pathways to sex therapy
