What Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Involves
Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physical therapy focused on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues within the pelvic region. For men, this involves a comprehensive assessment of the pelvic floor's ability to contract, relax, and coordinate with the rest of the body. Treatment is non-invasive and highly effective for improving bladder control, resolving chronic pain, and restoring sexual health through targeted exercises, education, and lifestyle modifications.
Our Approach
Comprehensive Assessment: We begin with a detailed clinical history and physical examination to identify the underlying causes of your symptoms, ensuring a precise diagnosis before treatment starts.
Individualised Exercise Programming: You will receive a bespoke rehabilitation plan featuring specific pelvic floor and core stability exercises tailored to your current functional level and long-term goals.
Manual Therapy & Biofeedback: Where appropriate, we utilize spinal manual therapy, soft tissue release, and biofeedback techniques to enhance muscle awareness and accelerate tissue healing.
