Pelvic Floor Therapy for Men
We offer specialized care for men who are experiencing pelvic floor symptoms.
If you have chronic pelvic pain, sexual dysfunction, or are recovering from a pelvic surgery, pelvic therapy can help.
At Bloom, our pelvic therapists will use targeted manual therapy, personalized exercise techniques, and a comprehensive, holistic approach to help you restore function, eliminate pain, and improve overall quality of life.
Pelvic floor therapy is not just for women, we all have a pelvic floor! We treat men with pelvic floor dysfunction.
Diagnoses and symptoms we treat:
Constipation
Urinary leaking or urgency
Pain with urination
Tailbone pain
Generalized pelvic floor pain
Prostatitis
Erectile dysfunction
Pelvic floor muscle tension
Pelvic floor dysfunction in men is common, frequently misunderstood, and almost always treatable. If you are dealing with chronic pelvic pain, urinary symptoms, sexual dysfunction, or recovering from a prostate procedure, pelvic floor therapy may be the missing piece in your care.
We treat men at Bloom Pelvic Therapy, and we take the same whole-body approach we use with every client: listening first, understanding what is driving your symptoms, and building a plan that actually addresses the root cause.
Frequently Asked Questions About Men’s Pelvic Health
-
Pelvic floor therapy can include as much or as little as you desire. Typically, we utilize techniques such as external manual therapy, internal manual therapy (although helpful, it is not necessary), and personalized exercises and education to reach your goals.
-
No. Everyone has a pelvic floor, and men experience pelvic floor dysfunction just as frequently as women. The anatomy is different, but the muscles, their function, and the approach to treatment follow the same principles.
-
Not always. Many men can be treated effectively with external manual therapy, movement retraining, and more. If an internal assessment would be beneficial, we will explain why, discuss it with you, and it is always your choice whether to proceed.
-
Yes. Stress and anxiety directly affect pelvic floor tension, and that connection is real and well documented. Pelvic floor therapy addresses the physical component of tension holding, and we incorporate breathwork and nervous system support into every treatment plan.
-
It can. Pelvic floor muscle tension, poor coordination, and restricted blood flow in the pelvic region can all contribute to erectile dysfunction. A thorough evaluation will help determine whether pelvic floor therapy is an appropriate part of your care, and we will refer out to the right providers when needed.
-
Ideally, before surgery if possible, and as soon as your surgeon clears you afterward. Early intervention after prostatectomy is associated with faster return of continence and better overall outcomes. We work closely with your medical team throughout recovery.
-
This depends on your symptoms, how long you have had them, and how your body responds to treatment. Some clients see significant improvement in four to six sessions. Others with more complex or longstanding issues benefit from a longer course of care. We will give you an honest picture at your evaluation.
-
Yes. Intermittent symptoms often reflect a pelvic floor that is functioning inconsistently, and addressing that pattern early tends to produce better outcomes than waiting until symptoms become constant.
-
Absolutely. Part of what we do at the evaluation is figure out whether pelvic floor dysfunction is contributing to what you are experiencing. If it is not, we will tell you that and point you toward the right provider. You can also contact us via our contct form or phone, and we’re happy to provide initial recommendations there.
