Men's Health

Many men experience pelvic pain at some point in their lives — and it’s often misdiagnosed or treated ineffectively.
Symptoms of male pelvic pain can include:

• Urinary frequency, urgency, or burning
• Pain in the bladder, groin, anus, or lower abdomen
• Pain during or after ejaculation 
• Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection
   

While these symptoms are sometimes labeled “prostatitis,” the majority of cases are not bacterial. Instead, they are musculoskeletal in nature — often related to overactive or “tight” pelvic floor muscles.

Our pelvic health physical therapists perform a comprehensive evaluation to assess:

• Pelvic floor muscle tone and coordination
• Bladder and bowel habits
• Fascial and soft tissue restrictions
• Postural and movement patterns
   

Your treatment plan may include manual therapy, relaxation and breathing techniques, stretching, exercise, and home strategies to relieve pain and restore function.

Urinary leakage and sexual dysfunction are common challenges after prostate surgery — but with the right support, recovery can be smoother and faster.

At Cultivate Your Wellbeing, we help men prepare for and recover from prostatectomy through:

• Pre-operative education and training: We recommend 1–2 sessions before surgery to teach pelvic floor muscle exercises, bladder strategies, and healthy habits that support recovery.
• Post-operative therapy: Once cleared by your physician, we guide you through a progressive program to retrain the pelvic floor, rebuild core coordination, and restore confidence.
   

Research shows that learning pelvic floor exercises before surgery helps men regain bladder control sooner after surgery. Our goal is to help you feel informed, supported, and empowered every step of the way.

Regaining bladder control can be life-changing. Whether you’re leaking urine with activity, feeling sudden urges, or waking frequently at night, pelvic floor physical therapy can help.

Our treatment approach may include:

• Bladder retraining and urge-suppression strategies
• Manual therapy to improve muscle coordination and relaxation
• Education on lifestyle and dietary factors that impact bladder health
   

We specialize in treating:

• Stress, urge, and mixed urinary incontinence
• Urinary urgency and frequency 
• Nocturia (waking at night to urinate) 
• Interstitial cystitis and painful bladder syndrome
• Incomplete bladder emptying

Bowel dysfunction can range from frustrating to debilitating. Pelvic floor physical therapy helps identify and treat the underlying muscle and coordination issues that contribute to constipation and other bowel problems.

Our therapists use techniques such as visceral mobilization, relaxation training, and dietary and lifestyle guidance to support healthy bowel habits. We treat:

• Constipation and incomplete emptying
• Bowel urgency and fecal incontinence
• Painful bowel movements and bloating
• IBS and dyssynergia (pelvic floor coordination disorder)
   

By improving muscle awareness and relaxation, we help you restore regularity and comfort — without straining or fear of leakgage.
