Innovative Sexual Health Solutions for Enhancing Pelvic Floor Care
By Nicole Leinbach Hoffman, STIMULATE founder
Collaboration between over-the-counter sexual health brands and pelvic health therapists can provide meaningful benefits across clinical, educational, and patient care dimensions. At its core, this partnership supports a more holistic approach to sexual and reproductive health — one that can improve outcomes for individuals experiencing sexual dysfunction, pelvic pain, and related concerns.
However, in many cases, patients are left to navigate these product options on their own. Without clear guidance from their pelvic health therapist, the path to discovering and purchasing supportive products can feel confusing or overwhelming. By stepping into a more active role, therapists can help ensure their patients have access to safe, evidence-based options — and the confidence to use them effectively as part of their care plan.
For truly comprehensive pelvic health care, it’s important to support patients not only with clinical expertise but also by guiding them toward informed decisions about over-the-counter solutions for sexual dysfunction, pelvic pain, and related concerns. This means staying informed about the products available on the market and identifying trusted sources where your patients can confidently and safely make their purchases.
STIMULATE, North America’s only business-to-business trade show and conference dedicated exclusively to sexual health, returns to Nashville, TN, on August 4–5, 2025. This unique event brings together a diverse community of professionals — from pelvic health therapists and sex educators to clinical researchers and brand founders — to explore the latest innovations in sexual wellness.
With over 80 exhibiting brands, STIMULATE offers a comprehensive look at the products and tools shaping the future of patient care. The event will also introduce attendees to the concept of becoming a “medtailer” — an ethical, professional model for integrating product sales into clinical practice — in a session led by Dr. Amy Pearlman of the Prime Institute.
Even if you’re not planning to incorporate product sales into your practice, learning directly from brand founders and industry leaders offers valuable insights that can elevate the care you provide to your patients.
STIMULATE welcomes attendees to two days of professional learning, product discovery and industry growth with a variety of reasons to attend.
Amongst them include:
- Stay Informed on Emerging Research and Tools: Explore the latest evidence-based products and technologies in sexual wellness that are relevant to pelvic health therapy. Learn about innovations that can enhance your understanding and expand the ways you support your patients’ well-being
- Engage with Experts in the Field: Connect with healthcare professionals, researchers, product developers, and industry leaders — including founders — working at the forefront of sexual wellness. Gain practical insights, new techniques, and updates on recent research that can inform your clinical approach
- Access Exclusive Education: Access expert-led sessions focused on sexual health and pelvic floor care, including a dedicated Ask the Doctors experience featuring Dr. Amy Pearlman (Urologist), Dr. Alexandra Agar (LMFT), and Dr. Evan Goldstein (Proctologist). In addition to clinical topics, choose from more than 20 sessions covering business and operational best practices for your practice
- Strengthen Your Network: Collaborate with fellow pelvic health therapists and professionals across the broader sexual health landscape. Whether you’re sharing clinical experiences or exchanging strategies, this is an opportunity to grow your network and gain perspectives from across the field
