Pelvic floor physical therapy has typically been associated with treatment for women, especially since the pelvic floor is directly impacted from childbearing and birthing. However, men can also benefit from pelvic health. It is our goal at Activcore to provide a safe, inclusive space where all people feel comfortable, accepted and motivated to achieve their goals.

Bladder control issues such as urinary leakage, frequent urination or painful urination may be caused by prostate problems, prostate surgery, bladder infection, and/or pelvic floor dysfunction.

‍

Pelvic pain or pain in the pelvic floor muscles may be from conditions such as prostatitis, pudendal neuralgia, pelvic girdle fractures, hernias, athletic pubalgia, increased tension in the pelvic floor muscles, or other underlying musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.

‍

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is characterized by decreased ability to maintain an erection. It is commonly related to increased age but it can be impacted by pelvic floor muscle dysfunction or nerve compression and damage as well.

‍

Chronic constipation involving bowel dysfunction can include straining, pain, decreased frequency of bowel movements, hard or loose stool.

‍

Post-surgical rehabilitation may be needed following surgery involving the pelvis and abdomen (hernia repairs, prostatectomy, repair for athletic pubalgia, etc.) to address any complications such as urinary incontinence or erectile dysfunction.

How can Activcore help?

‍

Activcore physical therapists have specialized training to provide treatment specific to the needs of men. More specifically, our pelvic health therapists have undergone advanced training in order to be able to address the specific therapeutic needs of individuals dealing with pelvic issues. Our physical therapists are qualified to evaluate the musculoskeletal system inclusive of the pelvic floor and use these findings to create a treatment plan for optimal health and wellness.

‍

Pelvic health is typically not a big part of a physical therapist’s education. It is a specialization requiring much further study, training and practice following graduation.

‍

Activcore physical therapists are uniquely qualified to assess and treat pelvic floor dysfunction. They go beyond the pelvic floor and look at the whole body. Equipped with the Redcord suspension system and other industry leading tools, they are specially trained to optimize how your mind and pelvis work together so that you can regain control of your body.
