Men’s Pelvic Floor Therapy

Pelvic Floor Dysfunction in Men

Pelvic floor dysfunction in men can manifest in various ways, affecting their quality of life. Common symptoms include difficulty with urination, such as a weak stream, frequent urges, or the feeling of incomplete emptying. Men may also experience pelvic pain, discomfort during sexual activity, or erectile dysfunction. In some cases, bowel issues like constipation or straining during bowel movements can occur. The underlying cause is often related to muscle tension, weakness, or imbalances in the pelvic floor muscles.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • When you think of pelvic health, it’s common to associate it primarily with women. However, men’s pelvic health is just as important and often overlooked. From urinary issues to sexual dysfunction, the pelvic floor plays a crucial role in a man’s overall well-being.

  • At South Texas Pelvic Health, we require a referral from a healthcare provider for all male patients seeking pelvic floor therapy. This ensures that we can provide the most effective and coordinated care tailored to your specific needs. If you have any questions or need assistance obtaining a referral, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

  • Your first appointment may feel daunting, but we’re here to make the process as comfortable as possible. Our sessions are structured into four key parts:

    1. Subjective History: We start with a conversation about your symptoms, health history, and goals, ensuring we understand your unique needs.

    2. Physical Assessment: Based on your goals, we’ll decide together where to focus—whether it’s an orthopedic assessment or a more targeted look at the pelvis and pelvic floor. Your comfort and preferences guide our approach.

    3. Treatment: We aim to provide some form of relief during your first visit, whether through manual therapy, dry needling, or exercises.

    4. Planning: We’ll discuss follow-up sessions and create a home program to maintain your progress between appointments.

    Comfort and Consent Are Key

    We know these issues can be difficult to talk about, but there’s no such thing as “TMI” here. Your comfort is our priority, and an internal assessment is never required—it’s only performed if you’re comfortable and it’s deemed necessary. Every treatment plan is tailored to you because we know there’s no “one size fits all” in physical therapy.

    To discuss your unique needs, schedule a free phone consultation with us today.

  • If your doctor is recommending you try pelvic health physical therapy, but you aren’t sure what to expect or confident this will help, please reach out! We are always happy to respond to emails and also offer free phone consultations where we can discuss what it is you are hoping to address, your goals, if we feel therapy is a good next step, and what you can expect at your first session.
