Men Have Pelvic Floors, Too
The male pelvic floor supports bladder and bowel control, sexual function, core pressure and movement. Symptoms can appear after surgery, with chronic tension or alongside hip, back and abdominal problems.
Melissa provides discreet home visits and explains each part of the evaluation before it happens. Your plan is built around the activities you want to return to and the symptoms that affect your day.
Does This Sound Familiar?

Your Treatment Plan
What Men’s Pelvic Floor Therapy May Include
Care is based on your symptoms, evaluation and goals—not a one-size-fits-all routine.
Pelvic Floor Training
Build the right mix of strength, relaxation, timing and endurance.
Post-Surgical Recovery
Prepare for or recover after prostatectomy with progressive functional training.
Pelvic Pain Care
Address muscle tension, mobility, breathing and movement contributors.

Improve urgency, frequency, leakage and bathroom habits.
Bowel Coordination
Reduce straining and improve relaxation for bowel movements.
Return to Activity
Progress toward work, golf, lifting, running, cycling and daily life.
Understand the Why
Pelvic Floor Therapy Is More Than a Kegel Program
Men may overuse the abdomen, buttocks or breath when trying to contract the pelvic floor. Others squeeze repeatedly without letting the muscles relax. Both patterns can limit how well the system works in real life.
Treatment connects pelvic-floor control with breathing, hips, core strength and the movements that trigger symptoms.

Men’s Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy FAQs
Is pelvic floor physical therapy only for women?
No. Men have pelvic-floor muscles that contribute to urinary, bowel, sexual and core function.
Can therapy help after prostate surgery?
Yes. Therapy can teach coordination before surgery and progress bladder-control training after catheter removal and surgical clearance.
Can pelvic floor therapy help chronic pelvic pain?
Treatment may address muscle tension, breathing, mobility, bowel and bladder patterns, and graded return to activity.
Is a rectal pelvic floor assessment required?
No. It may provide useful information, but it is optional, explained beforehand and completed only with your consent.
Can therapy help erectile dysfunction?
Pelvic-floor and cardiovascular factors can influence erectile function. Physical therapy may address relevant muscle, breathing and movement factors while coordinating with medical care.
Do you provide in-home therapy for men?
