What we offer
There’s an aspect of men’s health that tends to be overlooked: the pelvic floor. Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a specialized form of therapy that addresses issues related to this often-neglected area, offering a wide range of benefits for men’s overall health and well-being.
Understanding the Pelvic Floor: The pelvic floor is a group of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that form a sling or hammock at the base of the pelvis. While often associated with women’s health, the pelvic floor is equally crucial for men. These muscles play a vital role in supporting the bladder, rectum, and, in men, the prostate. Maintaining a healthy pelvic floor is essential for bowel and bladder control, sexual function, and overall stability.
Common Issues Affecting Men:
Urinary Incontinence: This is the involuntary leakage of urine, and it can be caused by a variety of factors. It is common following prostate surgery.
Erectile Dysfunction: Pelvic floor dysfunction can contribute to difficulties in achieving or maintaining an erection, impacting sexual health and confidence. 90% of men will have some type of erectile issue after prostate surgery.
Chronic Pelvic Pain: Pain in the pelvic region can be debilitating and may result from tension or dysfunction within the pelvic floor muscles.
Prostate Issues: Men who have undergone prostate surgery may experience pelvic floor dysfunction, affecting their urinary and sexual function.
Key aspects of how pelvic floor physiotherapy can benefit men’s health:
Post-Surgery Rehabilitation: For men who have undergone prostate surgery, pelvic floor physiotherapy plays a crucial role in the rehabilitation process, aiding in recovery and minimizing bladder and sexual complications.
Strengthening Muscles: Pelvic floor exercises help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, improving bladder and bowel control and enhancing sexual function and bladder control.
Pain Management: Physiotherapy can address chronic pelvic pain through targeted exercises, relaxation techniques, and manual therapy, providing relief and improving overall quality of life.
Education and Awareness: Pelvic floor physiotherapists educate men about the importance of pelvic floor health, encouraging open conversations and reducing stigma surrounding these issues.
