Thanks for tuning in to the Armor Men’s Health Hour Podcast today, where we bring you the latest and greatest in urology care and the best urology humor out there.

In this segment, Donna Lee is joined by NAU Urology Specialists' wonderful pelvic floor physical therapist, Dr. Angela Treadway. Dr. Treadway explains what a pelvic floor physical therapist does and some of the many reasons urology patients male and female come to see her. In particular, Dr. Treadway explains how erectile dysfunction can be treated through physical therapy. She points out that in order for the erectile tissues to engorge, the musculature around those tissues have to be loose enough to allow the blood to flow, but not so loose that the tissues empty prematurely. There is also a cognitive component that can affect blood flow--when the brain and body go into "fight-or-flight" mode, blood is redirected toward the thighs to enhance one's ability to flee from a dangerous predator. All of these issues can be addressed through physical therapy that targets the muscles that make up the pelvic floor and which takes into account the unique medical history of each patient experiencing symptoms like pelvic pain and incontinence.
