S1E2 - "You can have pain-free Sex with Endo" - Guiding you towards Pelvic Health with Dr Nicole Cozean DPT

Endometriosis and pelvic pain. Painful sex. Painful urination. Painful bowel movement. These are just some of the symptoms many of us experience, both during and outside of our menstrual periods. Many say endometriosis causes pelvic floor dysfunction.

But what exactly is the pelvic floor? What are the signs that I have a pelvic floor dysfunction? And how does Endometriosis affect this? How can I improve my pelvic health?

Today's episode is with amazing Nicole Cozean DPT, a Physical Therapist I had the honor of meeting a while ago. Nicole has a private practice, called Pelvic Sanity in Orange County, California and treats women and men with any sort of pelvic concern such as pelvic pain, sexual dysfunction, urinary and bowel conditions and pre- and post-natal issues.

Nicole has so much knowledge about the relationship between endometriosis and pelvic health and teaches us how to address our pelvic pain by addressing our sources of pain generators and therefore calming down our central nervous system.

For more information on Nicole’s practice, visit www.pelvicsanity.com. Also follow her on Instagram @pelvicsanity and make sure to watch her IGTV Endo and Gut health mini-series. Nicole’s Book, the Interstitial Cystitis Solution is available on amazon and can be found here.
