Men’s Pelvic Health at Foundations Physical Therapy
Many men suffering from pelvic pain, testicular pain, or urinary frequency are often misdiagnosed with prostatitis.
At Foundations Physical Therapy, we specialize in treating male pelvic floor dysfunction (often diagnosed as Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome or CPPS).
Pelvic health issues in men are often overlooked, yet they can have a significant impact on quality of life, affecting everything from daily comfort to intimate relationships. Our goal is to provide effective, evidence-based solutions to help you regain control, eliminate pain, and restore confidence.
Pelvic Pain
Chronic pelvic pain (penile pain, testicular pain, perineal pain, rectal pain) can be frustrating and debilitating. Using techniques like myofascial release, we target the muscles and connective tissues around the pelvis to relieve pain and tension, addressing issues such as painful sitting, discomfort during physical activity, or tenderness in the groin area.
Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
Pelvic floor physical therapy can improve the strength and coordination of the muscles involved in erectile function. By retraining and strengthening these muscles, we can address underlying issues contributing to ED to improve sexual function and confidence.
Urinary Incontinence
Whether you’re experiencing frequent urges to urinate, difficulty controlling your bladder, or leakage during physical activity, our tailored treatment plans can help.
Post-Prostatectomy Rehabilitation
After prostate cancer treatment, many men struggle with incontinence and pelvic floor dysfunction. We offer post-prostatectomy rehabilitation to help rebuild pelvic floor strength and function, promoting recovery and improving your quality of life.
Chronic Prostatitis
Prostatitis, or inflammation of the prostate gland, often causes pelvic pain and urinary symptoms. We focus on reducing inflammation, improving pelvic muscle function, and alleviating pain through gentle manual therapy and myofascial release techniques.
We also treat men for all conditions outlined on our “Conditions We Treat” page, including bowel issues, coccyx pain, bladder dysfunction, prolapse, and more.
How Pelvic Floor Therapy Works for Men
Men’s pelvic floor therapy focuses on addressing the muscles, fascia, and tissues of the pelvic region that play a key role in bladder control, sexual health, and pelvic stability. Using a combination of manual therapy techniques, therapeutic exercises, and biofeedback, we help men strengthen and retrain these vital muscles.
What to Expect
Your treatment begins with a thorough assessment of your symptoms, medical history, and any lifestyle factors contributing to your condition. Our expert pelvic floor physical therapists will create a personalized treatment plan, using methods like myofascial release, targeted exercises, and relaxation techniques to reduce symptoms and promote healing.
What is Male Pelvic Floor Dysfunction?
Male pelvic floor dysfunction occurs when the muscles of the pelvic floor become too tight (hypertonic) or weak, leading to symptoms like urinary frequency, pelvic pain, or sexual dysfunction. Unlike bacterial prostatitis, this is a musculoskeletal condition that responds best to specialized pelvic floor physical therapy rather than medication.
