Leaking Pee, Pain During Sex and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction with Cossette Burnham, DPT

Health in the Hole

On today’s episode of Health in the Hole, we are talking about peeing when you sneeze, pain during sex, leaking after prostate surgery, all kinds of pelvic floor dysfunction that is so much more common than we might think and so often not talked about. Our guest is Cossette Burnham, Doctor of Physical Therapy and Pelvic Floor Specialist. Pelvic floor dysfunction affects men and women. It isn’t just related to pregnancy. Some sports can actually be really hard on pelvic floors. And it’s not always a weak pelvic floor that is the problem, often we are too tight throughout our pelvic floor and aren’t any good at relaxing it. That sounds like a possibility here in Jackson, right?

Cossette is one of my favorite people. She is the reason I was able to stay working out at the gym throughout my second and third trimester of pregnancy. When I found out last week that our kid was breech, she worked with me through all the spinning baby techniques after I was absolutely overwhelmed looking through the Spinning Baby website and showed up for my appointment unsuccessfully fighting back tears. She is so incredibly caring and knowledgeable and has so much enthusiasm for getting you back to better health. I can’t say enough how much I recommend seeing her – or another pelvic floor specialist - if identify with anything we talk about today.
