What You Need to Know About the Male Pelvic Floor

Some of the most vexing health problems for men — including urological and reproductive issues — can be traced to pelvic-floor dysfunction.

The Pelvic Floor is the layer of muscles that support the bottom of the pelvic area.

The pelvic floor supports the internal organs of the pelvic region.
It also helps control bladder, bowel and sexual function.

The pelvic floor is made up of muscles that form a sling from your coccyx to your pubic bone. 

When these muscles become overactive/underactive it can result in pain, sexual dysfunction, bowel insufficiency and urinary/fecal incontinence. Pelvic Floor dysfunction and pain can be caused by a wide variety of reasons and it is important to take an individualistic approach during treatment and planning for your pelvic floor physical therapy.

The medical practitioners in our facility are experts at evaluating and treating the multifaceted condition that is a Pelvic Floor Dysfunction through Pelvic Floor Therapy.

Solutions for every patient seeking relief from pelvic issues.

“Male pelvic health, especially those with pelvic pain, is poorly researched and poorly understood. Getting a medical provider to understand what you are feeling was an obstacle in and of itself. I was being told
IT WAS ALL IN MY HEAD, but I knew it wasn’t”

Frequently Asked Questions

The treatment plan for pelvic pain in men is designed to be a one-one 45 minute session geared towards each person’s individual needs. We will design a specific treatment plan of care for pelvic floor therapy geared towards each patient’s expected outcome as planned by our in-house physical therapists.

There is no magic number of sessions that equal a successful prognosis. There are those that feel better in a few sessions and those that get better in many sessions of pelvic floor physical therapy. Our goal is to get you better as fast as possible because we know how much this matters to you.

No. You can book directly. If you’re already seeing a doctor, let us know who they are. We’ll keep them in the loop, because the best care happens when your whole team is working together.

We’re an out-of-network practice. We’ll give you a superbill to submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. A superbill is a medical receipt with procedure codes that shows your insurer what happened during your session. If your insurance needs supporting documentation, we’ll send it promptly. What you get back depends on your plan.

Feel free to come as you are.
