Owning Your Sexual Self

Rethinking Pelvic Pain

with Rachel Maine, Episode 266

April 20, 2026

A biomechanics-driven look at pelvic pain: what the symptoms are pointing at, why chronic cases involve the nervous system, and how to advocate for yourself when care stalls.

I joined Rachel Maine on Owning Your Sexual Self to talk through pelvic pain from a biomechanics perspective rather than a purely symptomatic one.

We covered men pelvic health specifically, including urinary symptoms and erectile dysfunction, and why these often trace back to muscle and nerve function rather than to the organ being blamed.

We also got into dry needling, the role the nervous system plays once symptoms become chronic, and practical guidance for finding the right clinician and advocating for yourself when the standard workup comes back clean.
