Pelvic health and oncology physical therapist, Dr. Alex Hill @oncopelvicpt clarifies whether it's okay to hover over the toilet seat and when hovering is okay (as long as you follow the very specific strategies!).
Whether it's doctors not asking the right questions or patients feeling embarrassed asking any questions, pelvic health is often overlooked, especially in cancer care.
In this episode of @thecancerpod, Dr. Hill shares invaluable insights and practical strategies for addressing common issues like urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunction, and constipation. Join Tina and Leah in this enlightening discussion about the tools of the trade, types of pelvic floor exercises (Spoiler: It's not just Kegels), and why hovering while peeing may not be good for you.
