Pelvic Floor Therapy for Men

Injury, surgery, and weakened muscles can cause pelvic floor dysfunction in men, making daily
activities difficult or uncomfortable. However, with our specialized pelvic floor therapy, we can
alleviate these symptoms, giving you relief and restoring confidence.
Our physical therapists provide specialized pelvic floor therapy for men. Pelvic floor therapy is a
painless treatment that strengthens the pelvic floor muscles. We listen to your concerns and
create a treatment plan to support your urologic, sexual, and colorectal health.

When Should Men Consider Pelvic Floor Therapy?

Left untreated, symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction can negatively impact your self-esteem,
independence, and mental health. Early treatment can prevent symptoms from worsening. Our
therapists address your concerns and help you achieve optimal pelvic floor health.
We treat men of all ages who are experiencing:

• Urinary issues (chronic UTIs, bladder prolapse, pain, and incontinence)
• Bowel issues (incontinence, pain, constipation, and diarrhea)
• Sexual dysfunction (pain, erectile dysfunction, ejaculatory dysfunction, and prostate
  conditions)
• Chronic pelvic pain (post-surgery, prolapse, scar tissue, tailbone pain, post-hernia repair)

How We Improve Pelvic Floor Dysfunction in Men

Our physical therapists have expertise in the male pelvic anatomy and treating related
conditions. We create a unique treatment plan to improve your pelvic floor function and
strengthen your pelvic floor.
Your physical therapy care plan may include:

Pelvic floor exercises

We teach you how to engage your pelvic floor to strengthen the muscles and improve control.
This may involve exercises such as Kegels or squats. There are multiple pelvic floor exercises,
and you can choose which works best for you.

Biofeedback

Our therapists use sensors to measure your pelvic muscle activity and give you feedback about
your pelvic floor muscle function. The feedback helps you learn to control your pelvic floor
muscles.

Manual techniques

We may use manual techniques with your consent. Hands-on pressure and massage can release
tension in the pelvic muscles and surrounding joints.

Electrical stimulation

Your therapist may use a small electrical current to stimulate your pelvic floor muscles. This
painless treatment can help strengthen and tone pelvic muscles.

Education and lifestyle changes

We provide education and resources to support your pelvic health. Your therapist may also
recommend eliminating certain fluids or foods that contribute to bladder and bowel issues.

Progress Assessments and Follow-up Care

With our specialized pelvic floor therapy, men typically see symptom improvement in 4 to 6
weeks. While progress may vary depending on your health history and condition, we are
committed to helping you reach your goals and record your progress with regular assessments.
We equip you with techniques and resources you can continue to use at home to support
ongoing pelvic health. Additionally, we provide follow-up care and support to ensure your
progress is maintained and any new concerns are addressed.
