Women’s health lags men’s in many ways, but there is one area where the scales are tipped the other way: pelvic health.

“For a long time, we just applied what we knew about women … to men, and that did not work. There are similarities but there are differences,” says specialist pelvic health physiotherapist Dr Shan Morrison.

Women’s pelvic floors receive a lot of care and attention, particularly after childbirth, and rightfully so.

But it’s just as important that men pay attention to their pelvic health.
