A lady's unusual experience during a myofascial release physiotherapy session: Myofascial release offers relief through gentle pressure, unlike traditional physio's harsh techniques, allowing muscles to 'melt' and release tension.
During a physiotherapy session, the movement of the hip in and out, which opens and closes the legs, can be a challenging exercise for some individuals. This was the case for one lady, who released a pungent cloud of "hoofwaffe" each time she moved her leg. Despite the unusual methods used by her physiotherapist, who practices myofascial release, the lady and the speaker both experienced relief from their respective hip issues.

The practitioner also suggested a similar technique for the pelvic floor, which many people have been asking about due to issues with dryness and incontinence. Instead of focusing on kegel exercises, the practitioner advised against clenching too hard, as this can be jarring and counterproductive. Instead, the focus should be on relaxing the pelvic floor muscles. The speaker also mentioned using a cream to help with vaginal dryness, which has been effective for her. Overall, the speaker's experience highlights the importance of being open to unconventional methods and trusting the expertise of healthcare professionals.

The speakers also shared their confusion about why certain known brothels remain open, despite being illegal. Additionally, the group discussed a situation where squatters had taken over a vacant, high-value pub, despite it being empty for only a week during lease negotiations.

The squatters can only apply to become the registered owners of the property after occupying it for 10 years.
