In this episode, I share insights from a recent Herman & Wallace course focused on using shockwave therapy for pelvic floor dysfunctions.

From erectile dysfunction and prostatitis to incontinence and interstitial cystitis, this conversation dives deep into how focused shockwave can aid both men’s and women’s pelvic health.
