Season 2 Ep 7 Why is laughter the best medicine? with Elaine Miller
It’s taken us a whole year to get this super talented but super busy lady onto our podcast but it’s finally happened, just in time for Christmas!
Elaine Miller has impressively combined art and science, to create comedy sketches and shows that break down barriers and educate men and women about their pelvic health.
You may have seen her on @lorraine, @packedlunchc4 or even heard her on @bbcwomanshour, talking about pelvic health in her own hilarious and approachable way!
Her humour is infectious and approach is unique. We were super keen to delve into her own personal experience of urinary incontinence, the work she is doing in schools, comedy clubs, the Edinburgh Festival, with media, and in Parliament!!! We also wanted to find out why Laughter is the best medicine even in the world of pelvic health!
Elaine Miller is a fellow of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and award-winning comedian. She is interested in the sociology of incontinence and the barriers to help-seeking. Her paper on using humour as a public health promotion tool was published in August and she is about to tour her comedy show "Viva Your Vulva" to further that research.
A systematic review of humour-based strategies for addressing public health priorities
