No one talks about pelvic health – they feel it’s not relevant to them, it shouldn’t be talked about in public, and its only women who have had babies and now hitting menopause that have issues. Physiotherapists think “none of my patients want me to talk about it, it’s not going to affect my treatment of them, so I don’t need to worry about it”. YOU COULDN’T BE MORE WRONG.
Pelvic health effects your manly rugby players (hello groin injuries), your middle aged blokes who can’t get it up as often as they would like to (hello initial sign of cardiovascular issues), your young, fit, high impact sports player (hello bladder and bowel leakage), your diabetic or mental health folks who you want to get moving (hello not doing exercise because things are falling out the bottom holes), and those people of all ages who would like to have some rompy pompy fun the bedroom but can’t (hello pain).
Instead of ignoring this part of being a human, how about you take your head out of the sand, take a concrete pill, and step up to the next level of care. It won’t be boring, you might learn something, and you might even have some fun. It’s time for change – let’s remove the taboo together and navigate physiotherapy into the 21st century.
