Today’s topic can be a sensitive one. Now, don’t come for me, ya’ll. This is an important subject that isn’t spoken about enough! There is an impact that we see in healthcare-that faith, and religion can have on our sexual wellness. As a pelvic floor physical therapist, I uncovered a common thread of sexual dysfunction among individuals who had a committed religious upbringing.
