The funniest, f***y, physio!

said “can we come and film your 5*, sell out comedy show?” I said “of course”, let them drag me round the bars in and they made this. .a.chew asked all of the verboten questions and edited it. I was brave enough to watch it, maybe you might like it too? It’s half an hour of us rambling on about taboos, health, physio, pelvic floors, me being a hateful bigot, comedy, science and why facts and s*x matter. That doesn’t mean gender doesn’t matter, but, s*x is definitely the bread and butter of a f***y physio’s day and no good is coming from pretending it’s not got an influence on a person’s life, health and well-being. I think they did a really good job of this wee film and it’s interesting that there has, as usual, been little pushback. Maybe that’s because of the ? Maybe it’s because I’m deadly serious about this stuff, am speaking from evidence not opinion and am desperate to be wrong. *xMatters https://youtu.be/BuY6FYZuW9U

Why we wear our masks in public

Pelvic pain is a special form of pain because it is related to private functions like p*eing, pooping, and having s*x. Pelvic pain is also nothing more than pain and needs to be treated like that. The brain is the organ that makes pain and should therefore be treated to get control over the pain.

This is today’s public service announcement.
