Men's Pelvic Care

As an essential, yet often overlooked aspect of men's health, pelvic floor physical therapy has seen a rise in popularity among men in recent years, providing a safe and effective way to address a variety of health concerns. From urinary and bowel incontinence to sexual dysfunction, pelvic floor therapy offers a holistic approach to healing and restoration. As with any type of physical therapy, the practice focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying issues that contribute to these symptoms. Utilizing exercises and techniques designed to strengthen and tone the pelvic floor muscles, men can experience improved bladder control, reduced pain, and enhanced sexual function. While the idea of pelvic floor therapy may be intimidating to some, this specialized form of physical therapy has proven to be a game-changer for men seeking to regain their quality of life.

The pelvic floor is a complex network of muscles that supports your bladder, bowel, and sexual organs. When these muscles become weakened or overactive, it can lead to a host of problems such as urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, pelvic pain, and even sexual dysfunction.

Understanding Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy for Men

A pelvic floor physical therapist is a professional who has undergone specialized training to understand and treat the unique aspects of male pelvic anatomy. These therapists provide education, exercises, and techniques designed to help men strengthen, relax, and stretch the pelvic floor muscles.
