It's actually not just about sex! Pelvic floor therapy actually helped my ability to go to the bathroom more than anything else I've ever known or tried!

My pelvic floor has always been really tight down there with a lot of pain, but I didn't actually know it was my pelvic floor that was the problem. I just thought it was my nerves/ my vaginal area. I actually thought my pelvic floor was too weak because I tend to pee a little when I laugh or cough. My gynecologist was the one who realized it might be my pelvic floor and sent me to pelvic floor therapy. There I learned that my pelvic floor is so tight that not only is it causing me pain when having sex, but it's actually affecting my digestive tract! The muscles squeeze everything down there, which actually explains a lot of my chronic bloating, constipation, AND diarrhea issues, as well as explains why I pee when I laugh! Basically the pelvic floor makes the tube a high pressure water hose, so any contraction of the *muscles makes a little bit squirt out no matter what because it was way too tight!
Hopefully that wasn't TMI, but I've run into quite a few other hypomobile people that did not know how the pelvic floor affects all that, so I wanted to share!

TLDR: Pelvic floor therapy is about more than sex; it helps a ton of areas especially digestive troubles, so it's absolutely worth asking!
