From the show's notes on SexWithEmily.com:

On today’s show Emily welcomes back physical therapist Heather Jeffcoat to talk about getting past the pain holding you back from better sex.

They discuss why painful sex issues are misunderstood – even though it’s very common, making sure you’re doing your Kegels correctly, why a second opinion is always best if you were prescribed wine by a psychologist, and how to get into pelvic shape after having children.

About Dr. Emily Morse:

In 2005, Dr. Emily Morse had an idea. What if, she thought, you could talk about sex the same way you could talk about any other topic? What if you could make sex — society’s ultimate taboo — approachable, accessible and most-of-all, acceptable?

Leveraging her love of telling others’ stories — Morse’s media career started in 1999, when she produced a documentary on the mayoral race in San Francisco called “See How They Run”. The doc itself — which would go on to win awards and even air on PBS — was perhaps most pivotal for its role in sparking Morse’s interest in having deep, meaningful conversations with individuals from all walks of life.

Since then, Morse went on to become a Doctor of Human Sexuality, co-host the famed Loveline Radio Show with Dr. Drew Pinsky, and star in the Bravo TV series, Miss Advised. She’s been named as one of Esquire’s & Stylecaster’s top sex & love podcasters, and voted the #1 dating & sex expert to follow on Twitter. She is an author, masthead contributor to Cosmopolitan Magazine, and creator of her own mobile apps.

As sex becomes an increasingly complex topic to navigate, Morse is a friendly, non-judgemental and open-minded voice that cuts through the clutter. Focused on inviting people into the conversation, versus calling them out, she aims to be a source for down-to-earth, relatable and unbiased information on sex, relationships, and all that they entail.

Testimonial by P.M.

I was hopeful but frankly skeptical when the doctor treating me for Interstitial Cystitis recommended that I go to Heather for physical therapy. Medication and diet helped control my IC symptoms, but I had never heard of physical therapy being used to treat IC. The education and treatment I received from Heather was a revelation. She explained that the pain I experienced with IC had helped create a cycle of muscle guarding which affected the entire pelvic area. I had no idea of the amount of tension being held there. No wonder my husband and I had not been able to have sexual intercourse for years!

After having my second baby via C-section I searched for months to try to find help for my lower back pain and separated abdominal muscles. I finally came across Heather Jeffcoat via a mommy blog. I reached out to her via email and set my first appointment. My first appointment went amazing … she listened to what my symptoms, check my separation and explained to me in detail what the next steps would be. Not only did my abdominal separation go from 3 to about 1 -1/2 but my back has pain has significantly reduced. I’m personally recommending all my mommy friends to Heather!

Testimonial by J.H.

My last appointment with Heather was over 6 years ago but I still think of her every day. I don’t take for granted that I can easily get out of bed, care for my two active and busy young boys, run, play tennis, clean my house, or sit at a desk for several hours at a time. None of these tasks were easy for me before meeting Heather. Eight years ago my car was struck from behind by a tractor trailer that was estimated to have been speeding. I spent 3 years working with different PTs and Drs trying to heal and move on with my life. When I became pregnant and the hormone relaxin that “relaxes” all the joints of the body and the additional weight gain erased all my progress and I was suddenly in a lot of pain again. My OB sent me to Heather for one last try.

Testimonial by Amanda W.

Heather's unique physical therapy program literally changed my life! After years of struggling with vaginismus, a condition that made it impossible for me to have intercourse and very difficult to use tampons without pain, a gynecologist referred me to Heather. I was nervous for my first appointment, but Heather's professional and friendly demeanor put me at ease. She did a great job explaining each technique she was using to help my muscles relax. Heather uses a combination of internal and external stretches and exercises to relax the pelvic floor and build muscle strength. Her specially developed home program helped me quickly recover from an issue that seemed insurmountable before meeting Heather. She was optimistic about my progress and incredibly encouraging. Less than 6 months after my first session, I was able to have pain-free sex for the first time in my life! If you are suffering from vaginismus or any other pelvic floor issues, I highly recommend making an appointment with Heather and reading her book!

Testimonial by Mary L.

I started seeing Heather to treat my Interstitial Cystitis in November 2016. At this time, I was extremely miserable, in constant pain, and felt as though no one was listening or understood what was going on with my body. I have just finished my last appointment and I can honestly say that my life has completely changed for the better because of Heather and her team of PTs! I live almost completely pain free, and when I do have flare ups, I am able to treat them at home on my own. I am so grateful that this office was recommended to me a honestly cannot recommend them enough!

Testimonial by M.M.

My husband and I were married for 5 years and unable to have intercourse, but I never knew why. After numerous awful experiences at doctor’s offices (where many doctors told me I “just needed to relax”), a surgery that didn’t fix the problem, and a year of owning dilators that didn’t get me anywhere, someone finally referred me to Heather for Physical Therapy. I finally had answers and information from someone who knew exactly what I was dealing with!
