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.

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
