Men's Health

Many men experience pain in the pelvis at some point in their life and treatment can be frustrating due to misdiagnosis.  Symptoms of male pelvic pain may include  urinary issues, pain in the area of the bladder, groin, anus, and abdomen, inability to obtain an erection or pain during ejaculation.  Often times men are told they have "prostatitis" and given an antibiotic, however the most common cause of this pain is not associated with bacterial infection and is musculoskeletal in nature often resulting in "tight" or hypertonic pelvic floor muscles.  The Pelvic Health PTs at Cultivate Your Wellbeing will assess your overall movement patterns, bowel and bladder habits, fascial restrictions, and pelvic floor muscle function to determine what is contributing to your pain and create a customized treatment plan to get you feeling better. 

Urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction are common issues after prostate surgery. At Cultivate Your Wellbeing, we help men to optimize their pelvic health through manual techniques, bladder retraining, dietary and lifestyle recommendations and exercises to improve the function of their pelvic floor and core muscles. We ideally see patients for 1-2 visits preoperatively to provide education and improve habits and muscle function prior to surgery as well as post-operatively to help men heal from surgery and regain optimal functioning.

Regaining control of your bladder can be life changing! Whether you are experiencing  bladder leakage with or without activity, increased frequency/urgency, or urinary pain the therapists at Cultivate Your Wellbeing will create a customized program for you to overcome your issue.   In addition to bladder retraining and recommendations on lifestyle and dietary changes, we utilize specific manual techniques to help your urinary system function better. We specialize in treating bladder dysfunctions including: Stress/Urge/Mixed Urinary Incontinence, Urinary Urgency, Urinary Frequency, Nocturia, Interstitial Cystitis, Painful Bladder Syndrome, and Incomplete Emptying.

Bowel dysfunctions can range from embarrassing to debilitating.  Visceral manipulation, lifestyle & diet modifications, and pelvic health therapy are part of our treatment plans at Cultivate Your Wellbeing to help you overcome Constipation, Bowel urgency, Fecal Incontinence, IBS, Painful Bowel movements, Bloating, and Dyssynergia.

We see patients with musculoskeletal pain, often who have tried PT elsewhere and found something was missing from their care.  Pelvic Health Physical Therapy and Visceral Manipulation at Cultivate Your Wellbeing may help to uncover contributing factors to your dysfunction and put you on the road to recovery.  We see patients for Sacroiliac Dysfunction, Low Back Pain, Coccydynia, Hypertonic Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, Pudendal Neuralgia, Levator Ani Syndrome, Abdominal Pain, Painful Scars, and more.
