The Pelvic Floor Project
Embarrassing symptoms deserve better conversations.
Whether you're dealing with bladder leaks, prolapse, pelvic pain, painful sex, erectile dysfunction, constipation, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, or simply wondering if what you're experiencing is normal—you're not alone.
Hosted by pelvic floor physiotherapist Melissa Dessaulles, this podcast helps you understand how your body works and why symptoms happen. Through conversations with leading researchers, physicians, surgeons, sex therapists, midwives, psychologists, and other experts, we translate the latest evidence into practical information you can actually use.
No myths. No shame. No confusing medical jargon.
Just honest conversations that connect the dots—so you can feel informed, confident, and empowered to make decisions about your health.

86. Can the kegel chair and physiotherapy be friends?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I sit down with physiotherapy clinician and researcher Dr. Sinéad Dufour and Founder and CEO of Urospot, Erin Craven to discuss:
- Kegel chair (emsella) controversy
- Various marketing strategies
- Physiotherapy skepticisms
- HIFEM technology and the evidence
- How we use other modalities as physiotherapists to help “reboot the system” (muscle stim, IMS or TENS)
- The Urospot care model (education, health coaching and technology)
- Where might HIFEM technology fit into our care plan?
- Treatment cost
