Men's Health Oslo 🇸🇯🇸🇯🇸🇯🇸🇯
Teaching in Oslo this week with Tine and her pelvic health team was a genuine career highlight.
To be invited into such an amazing pelvic health clinic — and trusted to assess and treat a complex pelvic pain, bowel and s*xual health patient alongside Norwegian colleagues — was incredibly special.
A huge thank you to the patient himself as well. Being assessed in front of a clinical group is not easy. He placed enormous trust in all of us and reminded everyone in the room why empathy, communication and clinical reasoning matter so much in pelvic health.
Over the teaching sessions we explored:
Male pelvic pain
Young erectile dysfunction
Transabdominal and transperineal ultrasound imaging
Post-prostatectomy s*xual dysfunction
Side effects of prostate cancer treatment including arousal incontinence
The importance of open conversations around s*xuality, intimacy and what s*xual function actually means to men
Some of the most valuable discussions were not just about muscles, nerves or scans — but about helping normalise conversations around s*x, pleasure, masculinity, relationships and quality of life. These are conversations men often desperately want to have, but rarely feel safe enough to start.
We also had a surprise visit from Winston, our canine pelvic health assistant, who definitely became one of the stars of the course.
Massive thanks as well to the Esaote UK ultrasound family for helping us get an ultrasound unit over to Oslo to support the teaching.
Having grown up professionally being influenced by the “Norwegian gods” of pelvic health physiotherapy, travelling to Norway to share what we do across our two UK clinics felt incredibly meaningful. Assessing and discussing a patient together with Norwegian colleagues is something I will genuinely never forget.
And to finish it all by spending three days exploring Oslo and Norway with my teenage daughter made the whole trip even more special.
The global pelvic health physiotherapy community is a remarkable thing.
We are a small field, but the willingness people have to share knowledge, challenge ideas, support each other and ultimately improve patient care across borders is something I never take for granted.
Thank you Oslo 🇳🇴
