This episode is meant to be listened to AFTER episode 110. In that episode, I discuss with urologist, Dr. Jeff Zorn, diagnosis and treatment options for prostate cancer.

In this episode, I discuss with fellow pelvic health physiotherapist, Katie Hauck:

• The relationship between the prostate and the pelvic floor
• Symptoms commonly experienced after prostate cancer treatment (incontinence, erectile dysfunction, peyronie’s, bowel issues)
• What you may expect in a physiotherapy appointment after prostate cancer treatment
• The benefits of seeing a physiotherapist BEFORE your treatment
• Incontinence clamps and penis pumps

As the owner of Black Mountain Physio, Katie provides specialized care for individuals of all genders, addressing a wide range of pelvic health conditions. She has a special interest in helping clients navigate the effects of cancer treatments on pelvic health, including the impacts of radiation, surgery, and hormonal therapies for prostate and breast cancer.
