    Men's pelvic health - the conversation men aren't having

    Episode 2 of Flow Knows - a Flow Physio Co podcast. Charlotte and Jason are joined by Bronwyn Scahill, a Master's-trained pelvic health physiotherapist who works across men's, women's and children's pelvic health. This one is all about men's pelvic health - an area that is still under-discussed compared with women's health, and one where a lot of men quietly go without help they could be getting. We talk in general terms about how common pelvic floor issues are in men, what the prostate actually does, what recovery can look like around prostate surgery, why physiotherapy before surgery is worth knowing about, and how pelvic health connects to heart health and overall wellbeing. We also cover the signs worth getting a medical check for, and where to start if you have been putting it off.
