If you’re a man who is suffering from bladder and bowel problems, incontinence, erectile dysfunction, or pain in the lower back or pelvic region, we can help to rehabilitate your pelvic floor muscles as part of your treatment for these men’s health conditions.

Many men and women assume pelvic floor physiotherapy and pelvic exercises fall under the “secret women’s business” category, but pelvic floor problems are actually “secret men’s business” too!

What causes damage to men’s pelvic floor muscles?

Male pelvic floor muscles are actually similar to a woman’s and while a big predictor of pelvic floor weakness in women is multiple vaginal deliveries, many men are unaware that damage to their pelvic floors can also cause major health issues.

Your pelvic floor muscles can be weakened as a result of:

  • Sedentary lifestylehigh impact exercise or persistent heavy lifting

  • Long-term, persistent coughing

  • Chronic constipation

  • Surgery for bladder or bowel problems

  • Being overweight

  • Aging

  • Enlarged prostate gland

The good news is, weakened men’s pelvic floor muscles can often be supported and strengthened with targeted pelvic floor muscle exercises.

What conditions do we treat with men’s pelvic floor exercises?

Our Proactive Physiotherapy male pelvic floor muscle exercises are designed to support bladder and bowel control, sexual function and core strength, including:

  • recovery after prostate surgery

  • low back pain or pelvic pain

  • stress incontinence or urge incontinence

  • erectile dysfunction

  • bowel dysfunction

Our experienced physiotherapists will start by looking at your history, liaising with your GP and/or surgeon if necessary, and performing a physical assessment to help identify the source of your concern.

Once we have a good understanding of your pelvic floor condition and the various factors that affect your lifestyle, we’ll design a treatment program of pelvic floor exercises to suit your specific condition and lifestyle.

We’ll also use real-time ultrasound so you can see your pelvic floor muscles working as you activate them and ensure you understand how to correctly exercise your pelvic floor muscles.

Men’s pelvic floor exercises are designed to support your physical function and daily quality of life

If you’re a man experiencing any of the problems associated with a weak pelvic floor, there’s no need to suffer in silence anymore with your “secret men’s business”.
