Male Pelvic Health ServicesÂ
Â
Everyone with a pelvis has pelvic floor muscles - that includes those with a penis!!
Pelvic floor therapy for men helps strengthen and relax the muscles in the lower part of the abdomen and pelvis. These muscles support important organs like the bladder, bowel, and for men, the prostate and sexual organs. Therapy can be helpful for men experiencing issues such as:Â Incontinence: Difficulty controlling urine or bowel movements.
Erectile dysfunction: Problems with getting or maintaining an erection.
Pelvic pain: Pain in the lower abdomen, groin, or genitals.
Post-surgery recovery: Especially after prostate surgery or other pelvic surgeries.
The therapy typically includes exercises, stretches, and techniques that improve muscle strength, flexibility, and coordination. It can lead to better bladder control, improved sexual function, and reduced pain, making everyday life more comfortable. Pelvic floor therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free approach that can make a significant difference in managing these common but often overlooked issues.
