Sexual Health at Inland Pelvic Health
Talking about sex with your healthcare provider can feel awkward—especially when your appointments are brief and rushed. At Inland Pelvic Health, we take a different approach. We specialize in pelvic-related sexual health issues and create a space where open, respectful conversation is encouraged and supported.
Our team helps patients understand how pelvic anatomy, hormone shifts, scar tissue, nerve sensitivity, and muscle dysfunction can all affect intimacy, comfort, and arousal. We offer personalized pelvic therapy plans for both men and women to restore function, improve confidence, and address the root cause of dysfunction.
Common Sexual Health Concerns We Treat
Pain with intercourse
Whether it stems from muscle tension, scar tissue, or nerve irritation, painful sex doesn't have to be your normal. We specialize in gentle and effective techniques that reduce pain and restore comfort.
Inability to Orgasm
Difficulty reaching climax can be due to muscle tension, hormonal shifts, or pelvic floor dysfunction. We help retrain the body for better coordination and sensation.
Vaginismus
Vaginismus is an involuntary spasm of the pelvic floor muscles in response to penetration. We treat it with hands-on neuromuscular techniques, not just dilators, and teach pelvic wand training as an empowering alternative.
Postpartum & Hormonal Changes
From postpartum tissue changes to perimenopausal transitions, we help you navigate how these shifts affect intimacy and provide specific treatment to support comfort and pleasure.
Post-Prostatectomy Support
We help restore pelvic function and sexual confidence after prostate surgery through coordinated pelvic muscle retraining and nerve sensitivity desensitization.
Erectile Dysfunction
Achieving or maintaining an erection relies on muscle coordination, nerve health, blood flow, and pelvic stability. We assess these systems and tailor a plan that supports natural sexual function.
Vaginal Dryness & Lubrication Issues
Hormonal changes, childbirth, and menopause can reduce tissue hydration. We support pelvic tissue health and collaborate with other providers for a full-scope solution.
Persistent Pelvic or Genital Pain
Pain in the testicles, penis, vulva, or perineum can make intimacy feel impossible. Our approach targets pelvic nerves and tissue tension to reduce guarding and discomfort.
Infertility & Menstrual Dysfunction
Sexual health is interconnected with reproductive health. We address symptoms of endometriosis, adenomyosis, and hormonal imbalance that interfere with intimacy, cycle health, and conception.
A Safe, Skilled Space for Sexual Wellness
Dr. Laura Steininger, DPT, and the team at Inland Pelvic Health are trauma-aware providers who specialize in pelvic muscle therapy. We approach sexual dysfunction with a skilled, whole-person lens that considers the entire system—muscle, nerve, hormone, and mindset.
Whether you're dealing with pain, changes in arousal, orgasm difficulty, or intimacy anxiety, we're here to help you find clarity and healing.
