Pee Doesn’t Scare Me! (Patreon)

Sometimes you really do have to go the extra mile to support someone through prostate recovery. Helping them feel more comfortable and less embarrassed makes a difference.

Urinary incontinence after prostatectomy often comes with shame. It’s tough to feel sexy when you’re leaking urine.

In this session, I set us up with incontinence pads (which my patient lovingly called “puppy pee pads”) and we got to work. We used a urinary cuff while doing pelvic floor training with functional tasks—breathing, sitting, coughing, sit-to-stand, squats, single leg balance, and heel bouncing. And yes, a few drops of pee did happen, but we were prepared!

Pelvic floor muscles need to activate during real-life stuff, especially when there are shifts in intra-abdominal pressure. Training them this way matters.
