“Male pelvic floor dysfunction is more prevalent than people realize. Research shows pelvic floor PT can help men with various symptoms,” said PHRC Co-founder Stephanie Prendergast.
Chronic Prostatitis (CP) and Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS) accounts for 90% of prostatitis cases in outpatient clinics. Additionally, CP and CPPS are the most common urologic diseases in men, affecting between 2% and 16% of the worldwide population.
Erectile dysfunction affects up to 87% of men after prostatectomy.
Additionally, the prevalence of Urinary Incontinence after radical prostatectomy is widely reported, ranging from 2% to 60%.
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy at PHRC can help men suffering from pelvic pain, urinary dysfunction, bowel dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, prehab and rehab around prostatectomy in all 9 of our clinics. During an evaluation, a Physical Therapist will review your history and symptoms with you. Short and long-term goals are created and physical therapy treatment will take place 1 to 2 times per week for approximately 12 weeks.
Our experienced team creates a home exercise program for you and is available to coordinate your recovery with other members of your treatment team.
