More on "down there" for those intrigued by personal geography unexplored in the past (well, maybe not intellectually)
I wish I'd seen Dr. Cait Van Damm's Substack page before I'd sent off that "down there" liberation post last week.
Dr. Cait Van Damm (insert multiple credential initials here) is a precious resource. Her Substack page gives you a clue: Adventures in vaginas (and other parts). She’s an occupational therapist specializing in pelvic floor rehabilitation—a type of professional we can use a lot more of.
If you read my post last week—A celebration of liberating women's mysterious "down there" to everyday science and healthcare—I talked about pelvic floor physical therapy. I hadn’t seen her Substack then, and she would have been a great addition to that post. Particularly if you’re having hip, back or pelvic pain that no one can seem to explain, you might be interested in this post from her. She’s down to earth, colorful, and has great info.1
In her post, she talks about those particularly prone to a tight obdurate internus (OI) muscle with suggestions on freeing it up and more links for info. She also has a follow-up on how to “release the beast” yourself, but you’ll need to subscribe for it. I subscribed for free and was offered the opportunity to watch that one video.
And if you’re having persistent pelvic pain or other issues, I’d check out her other post titles, too…you may want to invest in her, particularly if you can’t find someone local who is pelvic floor-qualified.
If you can’t figure out what an “internal release” is, DM me. But I’ll bet you can if you use your imagination.
