In this episode, Dr. Ellen Heed reveals one of the most overlooked causes of postpartum sexual pain: scar tissue and pelvic adhesions.

Even when everything “looks normal,” the body may still be restricted.

Circulation can be reduced.
Lubrication can be impacted.
Sensation can be limited.

And most providers are never trained to address it.

Inside this conversation:

• Why scar tissue can cause painful sex months or years after birth
• How pelvic adhesions restrict blood flow, lubrication, and arousal
• The four domains of health: biomechanics, biochemistry, emotions, and scar tissue
• Hands-on scar tissue remediation techniques
• How castor oil supports tissue healing and lymphatic flow
• Somatic recall and the emotional memory stored in scars
• Transgenerational pelvic trauma and embodied healing
• Support after C-section, radiation, or pelvic surgery
• Gentle self-touch practices for reconnecting with the pelvis

If you’ve been told “everything looks normal” but sex still hurts — this episode may explain why.

Because your body doesn’t forget what it’s been through.

But it can heal—when given the right support.
