Mens Health
Pelvic Floor Physiotherapists plays a crucial role in supporting men with a number of different conditions, including: incontinence, overactive bladder, nocturia (night time urination), post micturition dribble, pelvic pain, erectile dysfunction, and pre/post prostate cancer.
Prostate Cancer Rehabilitation:
Pre-surgery, physiotherapists educate and train men on pelvic floor muscle activation, which can improve continence outcomes after surgery.
Post-surgery, physiotherapy focuses on regaining bladder and bowel control, sexual function, and overall physical conditioning.
