Male Pelvic Health

Pelvic floor dysfunction is common in men (people with a penis), affecting about one in eight. It is under-reported and under-treated because people don’t feel comfortable talking about these problems and they don’t know where to go to get help.

Even finding an experienced pelvic health physical therapist can be a challenge as many choose to only work with women (people with vulvas). This leads to many people not getting the help they need.

Here are some of the problems that people can get help for with pelvic floor physical therapy:

  • CPPS (Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome)/Non-Bacterial Prostatitis

  • Pelvic or Perineal Pain

  • Dysuria: painful urination

  • Scrotal or testicular pain

  • Penis pain

  • Pain with ejaculation or post-ejaculation

  • Coccydynia: tailbone pain

  • Low back pain or sciatica

  • Hip pain

  • Abdominal or groin pain

  • ED or pain with erection

  • Hard/flaccid syndrome

  • Constipation

  • Bladder Dysfunction: urgency, incomplete emptying, difficulty initiating urine stream, nocturia

“After nearly ten months of suffering through symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction, and immensely frustrated that I only ever felt 50% improvement at best with my first PT assigned to me by my doctors, Bethany has not only alleviated lingering symptoms but given me the confidence that I can make a full recovery with the right diagnosis and explanation of what's going on, a personally tailored treatment plan that goes beyond stretching, and consistent effort over time.”
