Male Pelvic Health

Pelvic physiotherapy is a vital component of recovery for those navigating a prostatectomy, offering a proactive approach to both physical and functional health. Pre-operative "pre-habilitation" builds essential muscle awareness and strength prior to your surgery. Post-operatively, targeted treatment focuses on managing urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction, helping you regain functional independence and confidence.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy plays an important role in treating chronic non-bacterial prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS), particularly in patients with pelvic floor muscle dysfunction or tenderness. Current guidelines recommend pelvic floor physiotherapy as part of a multimodal treatment approach, especially for patients with documented pelvic floor myalgia or impaired muscle relaxation.
