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 some of the problems people come in to see us for:

  • 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
