583: Pelvic Floor Health with Clare Bourne

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?
