Oh I’ve not heard of the VOV phenomenon before! It didn’t come up when I Googled the initialism but I didn’t type it all in because my internet searches will show up on my kids’ devices and vice versa 😹
Apparently it’s not used often bc of the addictive nature of Valium. But, it is used for the same general muscle and tension relief, with a doctor’s prescription. Both my general and proctologist have actually prescribed for what relieves both pelvic and rectal tension. I have also had something called a levater shot (Botox shots massaged into internal muscles). I’ve been managing since my first 120th percentile headed child arrived twenty years ago!
Great post - thank you for sharing so much insight around your journey and how you have empowered yourself to create long lasting and meaningful change in your life.
I’ve come to realise the pelvis is the seat of our power so with you already taking some of your power back, I can’t wait to see how this progresses.
Thanks, Amber. I think you’ll love Jennifer’s explanation in the video as you certainly share the same views on the pelvic floor being the root of our feminism, and being a significant body part in where we hold our tension and trauma.
Curious if you have pelvic floor tension after reading this? (Great thorough article)!

I’d love to know more though!
Ps not sure you can really trademark VOV - but that’s what we have TLA’d it! (Three letter acronym)

Woah, 120th percentile!! I think mine were high 90s!
Whatever works, just get it up there!

Yes, that’s what the pelvic floor physiotherapist said. I’m trying to relax it all..!
I have been wanting to write a piece on VOV (Vagina on Valium), I need to tackle it and this is definitely an inspiration!

I need to watch that. I did feel I’d resonate with it deeply but I tend to read over listen/watch. (Unusual these days I know 😆)
