Did you know Conditions such as Erectile Dysfunction (ED) are often linked to weakness or dysfunction in the pelvic floor muscles?
Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy is Not Just for Women—Men Can Benefit Too!
TheraTouch Physiotherapy offers specialized treatments and targeted support for men’s pelvic health conditions. Our approach aims to strengthen pelvic floor muscle , reduce over activity, reduce pain , improve function, and support overall pelvic health. We understand the unique health challenges men face, particularly those related to pelvic floor concerns.
Many men suffer in silence with conditions such as urinary incontinence, chronic pelvic pain, erectile dysfunction (ED) and other conditions linked to pelvic floor dysfunction.
These concerns can be deeply personal. They can affect confidence, mental health, relationships, and quality of life.
Unlike women’s pelvic health, there is often little awareness surrounding men’s pelvic health issues, and unfortunately, even fewer resources are available to support men effectively.
For many men, finding a pelvic floor physiotherapist who understands and addresses these specific health concerns can be a significant challenge. Some men may not even realize that help is available or that pelvic floor physiotherapy can play an important role in their recovery.
At TheraTouch Physiotherapy, we aim to be part of the solution.
We are dedicated to helping men achieve better pelvic health through an evidence-informed, multifaceted approach that focuses on improving function, reducing pain, addressing pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, and supporting overall well-being.
We understand that discussing these concerns can feel daunting. That is why we provide a private, respectful and supportive space where men can discuss pelvic health concerns and treatment options without shame or judgment.
You’ll be met with professionalism, empathy, and a tailored treatment plan in a welcoming environment designed to put your mind at ease and help you feel supported every step of the way.
Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Before and After Prostate Surgery
Leaking urine is common after prostate surgery, including radical prostatectomy, and pelvic floor muscle training is commonly recommended to help regain control. Many men find it easier when they start learning the right technique before surgery, so they know exactly what to do afterwards.
At TheraTouch, we can help you:
- find and correctly activate your pelvic floor muscles, which many men get wrong on their own,
- build a programme you can follow in the weeks after your catheter is removed,
- manage leaking during coughing, lifting, standing up or exercise,
- return to work, sport and everyday activity with more confidence.
We work alongside your surgeon’s or urologist’s advice. If you have upcoming surgery, ask them when it is appropriate to start.
Urinary Incontinence and Urgency in Men
Leaking, dribbling after urinating, a sudden urge to go, or getting up often at night can all involve the pelvic floor. These problems are common, but they are not something you simply have to live with. A physiotherapy assessment looks at how your pelvic floor, breathing, posture and habits work together, and gives you a clear plan.
Chronic Pelvic Pain in Men
Pain in the pelvis, groin, perineum, testicles or penis, or pain with sitting, urinating or ejaculating, is sometimes called chronic prostatitis or chronic pelvic pain syndrome. In many men, tense or overactive pelvic floor muscles are part of the problem. Treatment focuses on helping these muscles relax and move normally, and on reducing what keeps the pain going. Strengthening alone is often not the answer here.
What to Expect at Your First Appointment
Your first visit is private and one-on-one. We start with a conversation about your symptoms, history and goals. Your physiotherapist will explain any assessment before it happens, and you can always say no to any part of it. You will leave with an explanation of what is going on and the first steps of your plan.
Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Combined with Focused Shockwave Therapy
TheraTouch Physiotherapy, offers an integrated approach to male pelvic health by combining pelvic floor physiotherapy with focused shockwave therapy through partnership with FocusWave Clinic, the leading provider of FOCUSED Shockwave Therapy treatment for sexual performance, urological diseases and chronic pain.
This combination provides an effective, non-invasive treatment option for conditions like erectile dysfunction (ED), chronic pelvic pain, muscle tension etc. in the pelvic region.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy helps to strengthen and relax the pelvic floor muscles, which play a critical role in bladder control, sexual function, and overall pelvic stability.
By addressing muscle tone and balance, physiotherapy can provide long-term support for these vital functions.
When paired with focused shockwave therapy, the benefits can be even more profound. Shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves to stimulate blood flow, promote tissue repair, and reduce pain, offering a natural way to accelerate healing and improve circulation in targeted areas.
This dual approach—strengthening the pelvic muscles through physiotherapy while enhancing tissue health with focused shockwave therapy—provides a comprehensive solution that can improve outcomes, particularly for those dealing with ED or chronic pelvic pain.
Contact Us today to learn more about how this combined treatment could benefit you and help you reclaim your confidence and quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions About Men's Pelvic Health
Yes. Men have pelvic floor muscles that support bladder and bowel control, sexual function and core stability. They can become weak, tight or poorly coordinated, just as in women.
Many men start before surgery to learn the correct technique, then continue after the catheter is removed. Check the timing with your surgeon or urologist.
No. Some men need strengthening, but others need to learn to relax overactive muscles. Doing Kegels when your muscles are already tight can make some symptoms worse, which is why an assessment matters.
The pelvic floor muscles play a role in erections, and physiotherapy can be part of the plan for some men. ED can also have medical causes, so we recommend speaking with your doctor as well.
