 Recently Victorian committee member Tafy Seade, principal physiotherapist of Inner Active Pelvic Health, sat down with Fiona Rogers of Pelvic Floor Exercise to talk about pelvic floor devices and their use in pelvic health in addition to the impact of COVID-19.
 What is pelvic organ prolapse?
The pelvic floor muscles, fascia and ligaments that support the organs within the pelvis can become weak. This can result in one or more of the organs move in a downward direction. That can be the bladder, the bowels and/or the uterus.  Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. It is known to affect 1 in 6 men over the age of 65 years (1). Fortunately, the treatment options AND outcomes are improving. The role of physiotherapy is often overlooked and not considered in the treatment journey. This post aims to raise some awareness on the impacts of cancer and how physiotherapy can play a crucial role in the recovery. Prostatectomy is one of the treatment options your surgeon may advise, which is the removal of the whole prostate (radical prostatectomy).
