What if pelvic pain or sexual discomfort isn’t just about your muscles?

In this episode of Our Patients Are Having Sex, I’m joined by Liz Johnson, a Pelvic Health and Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist who takes a holistic, client-centred approach to care.

We talk about why pelvic health is about balance, not just strength — and how pain, tension, and pleasure are influenced by far more than the body alone. Liz shares how our nervous system, emotions, and sense of safety all play a role, and why communication and compassion are key in both therapy and relationships. Together we explore:

• Why pelvic pain is not just in your head
• The limits of “just do your Kegels” advice
• How stress and the nervous system influence sexual wellbeing
• The link between pelvic floor tension and emotional safety
• How open communication supports healing and connection

It’s an open, educational conversation that reminds us healing happens when we look at the whole person — body, mind, and connection. 💬 Learn more about my work at www.isiah-mckimmie.com or connect on Instagram @isiahmckimmie.sexologist
