Episode 20: Good Girl, Sex Bad? The Physical Outcome of Negative Sexual Thoughts with Dr. Mamawah Borque, PT, DPT

Kicking off the "Black Girl Magic" edition of our podcast this black history month with Jessica interviewing Dr. Mamawah Bourque, PT, DPT. She is a pelvic floor physical therapist with the unique opportunity to work in a practice with sex, marriage and family therapists. Listen to learn about how what we've learned/not learned about sex in our religious, home, and school settings can manifest negative psychological feelings about sex that can present as physical pelvic floor symptoms like pain with intercourse or penetration. 

Thank goodness for physical therapists like Dr. Bourque, who can treat these symptoms and help women have the pleasurable intercourse they deserve.   You can connect with Dr. Bourque at Houston Relationship Therapy.
