❤️ SEX ❤️

Now that I have your attention…

Let’s talk about about Dyspareunia, aka painful sex. Did you know that this is a common issue that we treat here at Youtherapies?
Dyspareunia can be limited to the duration of intercourse but may also last up to 24 hours after intercourse. The symptoms of dyspareunia vary widely and sometimes can be traced back to a specific event or time in your life. It can sometimes be difficult to diagnose, but here at Youtherapies your Pelvic Health Physiotherapist will spend lots of time gaining a detailed description of how and when this is affecting you. This allows us to then formulate a treatment plan that suits YOU.
We commonly see this issue arise both in the post natal period and during menopause. This can be largely due a change in your hormonal levels making your vaginal tissues drier and thinner, which can make sex painful.
While painful sex is common, it is NOT normal, so know that you do not need to put up with this.
Talking about sex can be uncomfortable, but it is so important. We are trained and skilled in discussing and treating this issue, and we do so in a safe, comfortable and unbiased setting. If this sounds familiar to you, please take that first step and come let us help YOU ❤️

What might a meniscus injury feel like? You may experience: knee pain or tenderness; stiffness or swelling around your knee; difficulty bending, straightening or moving your knee; your knee giving way when you try to stand; a catching or clicking feeling when you move your knee.

We regularly see people with meniscus injuries here at YOUtherapies! These injuries occur acutely in active young adults for example during field sports like Camogie, GAA, LGFA or soccer.

Meniscus injuries occur in adults as we age when we are doing physical activity or even something innocuous like changing direction. Further, meniscus injuries can occur in older adults due to degenerative changes occurring over time in the knee.

Check out the blog on our website to learn more about meniscus injuies. If YOU are concerned about a knee injury, our physio or athletic therapist can help you! You can call us on 089-2133005 or book an appointment through our website.

💨 Did you know that activating your pelvic floor correctly can help with the involuntary escape of wind from your back passage?! 💨 Flatal incontinence (ie. Farting when you don’t intend to!) is a common issue that we see in clinic, and can be really embarrassing for those affected. When doing your pelvic floor exercises, remember to contract your muscles in a back to front direction so as to strengthen both openings - Ladies, imagine that you are trying to suck spaghetti up front and back! For men? Its a “nuts to your guts” approach! If this is something you feel you struggle with, don’t suffer in silence and come see one of our pelvic health physiotherapist who will be happy to help YOU 💨
We hope you are all safe following Storm Éowyn, it was windy one! 💨
