Male pelvic health
Men's pelvic health physical therapy
Specialist pelvic health care for men — prostate cancer and surgery rehabilitation, bladder and bowel problems, pelvic pain, prostatitis, and sexual dysfunction.
Male pelvic health
You don't have to suffer in silence
Pelvic health problems can affect your bladder, bowel, sexual function and pelvic muscles — and interfere with work, exercise, sleep and relationships. Many men delay care because these symptoms feel difficult to discuss. We provide specialist male pelvic health physical therapy at every stage of life, combining a thorough assessment with individualized, evidence-informed treatment. We commonly help men with prostate cancer rehabilitation, incontinence, bladder and bowel problems, pelvic pain, prostatitis, and sexual dysfunction.
Board-certified pelvic floor biofeedback
Our practice includes a provider who is Pelvic Floor Biofeedback Board Certified through BCIA and offers dual-channel EMG biofeedback for pelvic floor dysfunction — one of roughly 120 board-certified providers (PT, OT, MD, or NP) in the United States.
What we treat
Male pelvic health conditions
The pelvic floor needs to contract effectively for continence, but also relax and coordinate to allow the bladder and bowel to empty. We assess and treat the musculoskeletal and pelvic floor components of these conditions.

Before and after prostate surgery
Learning to correctly contract, relax and coordinate your pelvic floor before prostate surgery helps you master the techniques you'll use in recovery. Afterward, urinary leakage is common in the early stages — we help you work toward better bladder control and a return to normal activity with pelvic floor retraining, bladder strategies, and a graded return-to-activity program.
