What is Renova?
Renova is an online pelvic health rehabilitation program for women experiencing vaginismus, dyspareunia (painful sex), vulvodynia, endometriosis-related pain and pelvic floor dysfunction. It was created by Nasim Delfaninejad, MScPT, a registered pelvic health physiotherapist in British Columbia, Canada. Renova combines Pleasure Path, a paced step-by-step course, with a private member community and live Q&A sessions with Nasim. It is fully self-guided and can be followed from home in any country.
Do Any of These Symptoms Feel Familiar to You?
-
Pain during intercourse, often felt as tightness or a sharp or burning sensation with initial insertion. This is commonly referred to as Dyspareunia.
-
Trouble inserting a tampon, finger, menstrual cup or speculum during medical exams.
-
Ongoing inability to have penetrative sex despite trying, often related to Primary Vaginismus.
-
The pelvic floor muscles clench and resist penetration, often described as a feeling of “hitting a wall.” These contractions are not voluntary and can be very hard to relax; a common characteristic of Vaginismus.
-
Persistent pain in the vulva or vestibule during or after intimacy, once medical causes such as infections, skin conditions, or hormonal changes have been ruled out. This condition is known as Vulvodynia.
-
Dread, anxiety or panic before intimacy, frequently tied to Vaginismus, sexual trauma or past painful experiences.
-
Difficulty with gynecological exams or tampon insertion, often due to a combination of factors, including overactive and hypertonic pelvic floor muscles and nerve sensitivity.
-
Lingering soreness or irritation even after sex ends, sometimes linked to Vulvodynia or pelvic floor dysfunction.
-
Persistent pelvic floor overactivity that is not under conscious control can contribute to Vaginismus and persistent pelvic pain.
Conditions Renova Is Designed For
Dyspareunia (painful sex)
Pain before, during or after intercourse. Renova helps you understand where the pain comes from and how to reduce it.
Vaginismus
Involuntary tightening of the pelvic floor muscles that makes penetration painful or impossible. Renova follows a gradual, desensitizing approach that respects your pace.
Painful insertion and pelvic exams
Difficulty or fear with tampons, menstrual cups or pelvic exams. Renova helps you reduce tension and rebuild comfort step by step.
Vulvodynia
Chronic burning, stinging or rawness in the vulva. Renova addresses muscle tension, sensitivity and the nervous system together.
Endometriosis-related pain
Pelvic and sexual pain linked to endometriosis. Renova supports pain management alongside your medical care, focusing on muscle tension, sensitivity and the nervous system.
Pelvic floor dysfunction
Overactive or poorly coordinated pelvic floor muscles that contribute to pain during sex, insertion or daily life.

Why Renova is different
Why Choose Renova Over Other Online Programs?
Anyone can publish a pelvic health course online. What matters is who created it, and whether the approach has been tested with real women in real clinical care.
Renova was built by a registered pelvic health physiotherapist from more than a decade of treating complex pelvic and sexual pain in person. It is a living program that keeps growing, not a course recorded once and left behind.
