Lichen Sclerosus and Exercise (+ LS Friendly Routine)

Introduction In this video, we will be talking about lifestyle and lichen sclerosus. Specifically, we will be talking about lichen sclerosus and exercise. Can you exercise? How can you exercise safely with LS? I address these questions and more in this video. I share my top 5 tips for exercising with lichen sclerosus. After, I demonstrate a workout routine you can do completely seated. This is great if you experience a lot of tearing or are afraid to tear while working out. And if you're like, Jaclyn, sitting hurts, no way I can workout seated, don't worry, I got you! In my next video, I will demonstrate a standing/lying down workout that is great for folks who cannot sit for extended periods of time. *Disclaimer: This video is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Yes, we have a major lack of vulvar awareness out there. Vulvar health is in trouble because of stigma and lack of awareness and education, and we want to turn that around! April 21st is National Vulva Awareness Day! National Vulva Awareness Day was created in 2022 by our dear friends and allies to the lichen sclerosus community, SweetSpot Labs, to bring awareness to a part of the body that is often overlooked and to break the stigma around the vulva.
