Men’s Pelvic Health Physiotherapists and our team at PhysioMotion have specialist training to be able to evaluate, treat and support men experiencing symptoms related to prostate issues, pelvic girdle pain, sexual dysfunction, constipation, urological conditions and pelvic floor weakness.
These issues can appear at any age and physiotherapy can help alleviate these symptoms. Often, such conditions are caused by musculoskeletal dysfunction and pelvic floor muscle imbalances, which can be addressed with a thorough holistic assessment using a combination of a biomechanical assessment, real-time ultrasound imaging to assess pelvic floor and pelvic girdle stabilizing muscle function and where necessary, an internal pelvic floor assessment.
After a full assessment and a definitive diagnosis is made, treatment will consist of, but not limited to:
- Manual therapy for any musculoskeletal causes
- Manual therapy release of specific muscles related to the cause of your symptoms including the pelvic floor when there are areas of hypertonicity (tightness)
- Progressive pelvic floor muscle retraining using real-time ultrasound biofeedback & electrical muscle stimulation when required
- Bladder training for an overactive bladder
- Effective rehabilitation and return to exercise following prostate surgery or urological procedures
- Acupuncture & dry needling for bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunction or pain.
