Pelvic health is a subgroup of physical therapy that considers the anatomy and function of the pelvic floor in whole body functioning. Pelvic health physical therapists have undergone advanced post-graduate training in order to effectively evaluate and treat the muscles of the pelvic floor following prostate cancer treatment (radiation, chemotherapy, surgery, etc.).

‍

The pelvic floor musculature is located below the level of the prostate but can be affected following prostate cancer treatment. Pelvic floor physical therapists are trained to assess pelvic floor functioning as well as overall core functioning and develop a treatment plan geared toward optimizing your quality of life post-surgery.

‍

Pelvic floor muscles are located at the base of the pelvis and are literally the “floor of the core”. As such, they play a role in the following: stability, sexual functioning, bowel and bladder, and fluid drainage.

While these symptoms are common among prostate cancer survivors, they shouldn't become your new normal. If this sounds like you, click here to get help now.

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.

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.
