Men — this one's for you. 🙋‍♂️

Pelvic floor dysfunction in men is common, highly treatable, and too often ignored because nobody's talking about it.

Leaking after a run. Pelvic pain. Bathroom urgency. Low back pain that won't quit. These symptoms have real solutions — and pelvic floor physical therapy is one of the most effective.

This Men's Health Month, our team is shining a light on an issue that affects millions of men but gets a fraction of the attention it deserves.

Brian Weiderman, PT breaks it all down in today's video — what to expect, why it works, and how to take the first step.

Planks vs. crunches — which one actually trains your core?

The answer is both!

Depending on your needs, both planks and crunches are a great way to strengthen different parts of your core!

Crunches a best if you have a lot of lengthening of the abdominal wall such as after pregnancy or if you have diastase recti, when done under supervision under a physical therapist.

Planks work the full torso including the diaphragm, pelvic floor, abdominal muscles and even your shoulder muscles.
