Common Pelvic Health Conditions in Men
Pelvic health physiotherapy for men can help manage a variety of conditions, including:
Urinary Incontinence
This is often associated with prostate surgery or pelvic floor weakness. Men may experience stress incontinence (leakage during physical activity, coughing, or sneezing) or urge incontinence (sudden, intense urge to urinate). Physiotherapy helps by strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, improving bladder control, and reducing leakage.
Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS)
Chronic pelvic pain can be caused by tight, weak, or overactive pelvic floor muscles. Men may experience discomfort in the groin, lower abdomen, or perineum. Physiotherapy treatments focus on releasing muscle tension, improving posture, and restoring normal pelvic floor function to reduce pain.
Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction can be linked to pelvic floor dysfunction. Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles can improve blood flow to the pelvic region, supporting erectile function and overall sexual health.
Pre and Post-Prostatectomy Rehabilitation
After prostate surgery, many men experience urinary incontinence and pelvic pain. Pelvic health physiotherapy is key to regaining bladder control and rebuilding pelvic floor strength. Early intervention can lead to faster recovery and better outcomes.
Bowel Issues
Conditions like bowel incontinence or chronic constipation may be related to pelvic floor dysfunction. Physiotherapy can help men regain bowel control through exercises that improve muscle coordination and function.
Hernia Rehabilitation
Hernia rehab focusses on strenghthening the core muscles and improving mobility to manage the hernia. We also support recovery and prevent recurrance after hernia surgery.
How Pelvic Health Physiotherapy Can Help?
At Wolds Holistic Health, we offer a tailored approach to each man's unique pelvic health needs. Here’s how our physiotherapy sessions can benefit you:
Comprehensive Assessment
Our physiotherapists conduct an in-depth assessment of your pelvic floor function, lifestyle, and symptoms. This may include examining posture, movement, and pelvic floor muscle strength to create a personalised treatment plan.
Pelvic Floor Muscle Training
For many conditions, strengthening or relaxing the pelvic floor muscles is critical. We teach specific exercises to target the muscles responsible for bladder, bowel, and sexual function. These exercises help you regain control and improve your quality of life.
Bladder and Bowel Retraining
For men experiencing incontinence or bowel issues, physiotherapy includes retraining your bladder or bowel to improve timing and control. This may involve lifestyle advice, diet changes, and scheduled toileting to reduce symptoms.
Lifestyle and Postural Advice
Pelvic health can be influenced by posture, physical activity, and daily habits. Our physiotherapists will offer advice on how to modify your lifestyle to support your recovery, such as improving posture, lifting techniques, and core strengthening exercises.
