Pelvic floor dysfunction is often thought of as a women’s health issue, most commonly associated with postpartum challenges. But the truth is, everyone has a pelvic floor and men face these issues too, often silently.
In this video interview, Jennifer Stone, PT, DPT, OCS, Evidence In Motion faculty member and program director for EIM’s Pelvic Health Certification, sits down with patient advocate Timothy Sanker to unpack his journey of navigating male pelvic floor dysfunction.
In the video below, Timothy candidly shares his 15+ year experience with fissures, surgery, and the long road of searching for the right care. He opens up about the physical and emotional barriers he faced, from embarrassment to the lack of male-specific providers, and how discovering specialized pelvic floor therapy transformed his quality of life.
Whether you’re a clinician looking to expand your practice, or someone experiencing symptoms but unsure where to turn, this discussion shines a light on a highly treatable condition that too often goes unspoken. Timothy’s story is a reminder that help exists, healing is possible, and pelvic floor therapy can truly change lives.
