The Pelvic Floor Project
This podcast is for anyone with a pelvic floor. Pssst….. everyone has a pelvic floor. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles responsible for controlling our bodily functions. I refer to myself as a physiotherapist for embarrassing issues. I routinely help clients address symptoms like incontinence, prolapse, diastasis, pelvic pain, intimacy issues and the list goes on. A theme that stands out to me is how little we learn about our private parts and the muscles surrounding. This podcast is for you if you are interested in learning more about your body. Focused on the female, I cover topics pertinent to puberty, athletics, pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, menopause, surgery and so much more.I promise to share evidence based information through discussion with other health care experts in their field with the goal to showcase a holistic and empowering approach to taking care of the only body you will ever have. I hope you enjoy!

111. Physiotherapy for incontinence, erectile dysfunction, peyronie’s and bowel issues after prostate cancer treatment with Katie Hauck
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
Katie Hauck brings over a decade of experience as a registered orthopedic and pelvic health physiotherapist, having earned her Honours Degree in Biomedical Science and her Master of Science in Physical Therapy. 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. Katie is also dedicated to helping clients manage pain during intimacy, navigate endometriosis and painful periods, and prepare for pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum recovery, offering tailored support for both vaginal and cesarean births.
