Male Pelvic Floor
Physical Therapy
Male pelvic floor physical therapy is a form of physical therapy that focuses on the muscles and connective tissue in the pelvic region of those with male anatomy. These muscles and tissue can become weakened or damaged due to a variety of conditions, such as prostate surgery, chronic constipation, or pelvic pain.
​
The goal is to improve muscle function, alleviate pain, and promote healing in the pelvic area. Treatment may include exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, manual therapy to release tension and improve mobility, and education on proper posture and body mechanics.
Conditions Treated
Urinary Issues - Anything related to the pain or function of urination. This may include things like interstitial cystitis or post-void dribble.
​
Bowel Disorders - Related to the function of bowel movements, such as chronic constipation or pain.
​
Pain - Pain anywhere, not just the pelvis. This could be hip pain or tailbone pain, for example.
​
Orthopedic Conditions - You are not just a floating pelvis in space, so focusing on the entire body as it relates to your pelvis is also part of our sessions.
