Pelvic floor problems affect an estimated 40 percent of the population. Common symptoms include incontinence, prolapse, premature ejaculation, and irregular bowel movements. Your pelvic floor is a muscular net that supports your bladder, bowels, and in women the uterus. Those muscles can be trained and strengthened just like your biceps - but it’s a little more tricky to learn how. On this week’s podcast, we meet a physiotherapist who specializes in this area of the body.
Listen and learn:
- How to take charge of your pelvic floor health
- Whether pee-stop-pee is a safe practice for strengthening
- Do apps and gizmos actually work? Are they worth it?
- Will you ever be able to jump on a trampoline or deadlift again?
- Are medical interventions such as collagen fillers, botox, and surgery effective?
