Episode 34:Understanding Erectile Dysfunction: A Deep Dive into Male Pelvic Health with Bill Taylor
We’re honored to welcome an amazing guest, Bill Taylor, onto the podcast today!
Bill Taylor has been a Physiotherapist for almost 40 years, with over 25 years experience in the treatment of pelvic dysfunction. He is widely recognized in the UK (and internationally), as being one of the leading pelvic health physios, who also specializes in male pelvic floor dysfunction.
He works full-time in male AND female pelvic health, and is the Clinical Director of his own clinic, Taylor Physiotherapy, in Edinburgh, Scotland.
We were fortunate enough to connect with Bill at PelviCon last year - he is truly a wealth of knowledge, and a GIFT to the pelvic health space.
In today’s conversation, we dive deep into male pelvic health, and a topic that is often both hidden + overlooked - erectile dysfunction. Bill shares invaluable insights on the physiological, psychological, and emotional aspects of ED, as he has extensive experience treating men across the globe.
Erectile dysfunction is not a one-size-fits-all; it's very multifaceted, with lifestyle habits + the mind-body connection coming into play.
Whether you're a pelvic health provider looking for innovative treatment strategies, or someone experiencing these issues firsthand, this is an enlightening conversation that will no doubt transform the way you view pelvic health!
In today’s episode, we’re covering:

Why erectile dysfunction is such a complex issue
