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.
The Pelvic Floor Project
1. How well do you know your pelvic floor?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When asked what they know about their pelvic floor, most clients would say “umm I don’t know… kegels?”
I wanted to kick off this podcast the same way I start with most of my clients. I put a call out in my instagram community for 2 women who had never seen a pelvic health physical therapist and who felt clueless about their pelvic floor.
Join them in this episode to see how much you can gain from some simple verbal instructions.
Thank you to my guests:
Sarah from Regina Saskatchewan who is expecting her first baby and curious to know how the pelvic floor relates to birth
and
Lauren from Kelowna British Columbia who is 4 months postpartum and wanting to return to exercise, but feeling she cannot trust her body.
