Pelvic Health for Men

Often the pelvic floor muscles are talked about in relation to women's health, especially around pregnancy and birth. While this is an important area of focus, men also have pelvic floor muscles and can benefit from pelvic floor physiotherapy.

Why would a man see a pelvic floor physiotherapist?
✨ Urinary incontinence. This can occur in men after prostate surgery, or with symptoms of urgency (a strong, sudden urge to urinate that is difficult to defer)
✨ Voiding dysfunction (difficulty passing urine). Pelvic floor muscle dysfunction may be contributing.
✨ Bowel symptoms (constipation, incontinence).
✨Pelvic pain.
✨Sexual dysfunction

Tight pelvic floor muscles are not the only factor!

Vaginismus is the involuntary contraction of the pelvic floor muscles in response to anything penetrative, contributing to painful s*x an or sometimes inability to achieve pe*******on.

Treatment for vaginismus needs to involve more than pelvic floor muscle exercises. We also need to look at what is contributing to tension in the first place and address all factors contributing to pain. These factors could include but are not limited to:
- Past experiences
- Expectations, thoughts and beliefs
- Sexual education
- Self esteem
- Awareness and understanding of self
- Fears and worries
- Hormonal changes
- Mental health
- Relationships
- Life circumstances

If you have vaginismus, you may have seen that dilators are a common treatment. It is important that an experienced physiotherapist teaches you how to correctly use these.

🧡 Postpartum core rehabilitation 🧡

During pregnancy, your core muscles naturally separate to accommodate your growing baby. Most of the time, this is completely normal, and the separation reduces over time. The goal postpartum is to rebuild strength safely, at the right level for where you are now.

There’s so much pressure on women to “bounce back” after having a baby. It is so important to be kind to yourself during the postpartum period, which is often a time not only involving physical changes, but also hormonal, mental, social and lifestyle changes. Prioritising self care is key to optimal recovery.

Exercise is one pillar of self care, benefiting both your body and mind. Knowing how to return to movement safely and having an experienced physiotherapist guiding you makes a huge difference.

We 🧡 pilates for postpartum rehab. It’s safe, effective, and fantastic for restoring core strength.

Our Mums & Bubs Pilates classes offer guided support to help you regain strength and confidence.

Bladder control isn’t just about weak pelvic floor muscles and pelvic health physiotherapy is more than just doing pelvic floor exercises!

Doing your pelvic floor exercises but still leaking? This can happen for a few reasons:
➡️ Not doing exercises correctly or at the intensity needed to improve symptoms
➡️ Focusing only on exercises without addressing bladder habits, fluid intake, hormonal changes, or urgency triggers

This is where guidance from a physiotherapist makes all the difference and should ultimately save you time, effort, and frustration. Do it once, and do it properly!

Leaking isn’t something you have to live with!

Low back pain during pregnancy is common, but that doesn’t mean you just have to “put up with it.”

As your body adapts to a growing baby, hormonal changes, altered load through the pelvis and spine, and changes in movement patterns can all contribute to discomfort.

The good news? Physiotherapy can help.

✔️ Individualised assessment
✔️ Hands-on treatment
✔️ Targeted strength + stability work
✔️ Practical advice for sleep, work, lifting & toddler wrangling
✔️ Support belts or taping if indicated

Our goal isn’t just short-term relief, it’s helping you move with more confidence through pregnancy and prepare your body for birth and beyond.

If low back pain is impacting your sleep, work or daily life, you don’t have to manage it alone 🤍

Save this for later or share with a mama who needs it.

👀👀👀

Can you tell the difference?

Hips back = more glutes, torso upright and more knee bend = more quads!

Neither is “correct” - but should be used as tools to adapt someone’s form based on weakness and/or goals! For example, a glute dominant squat will be less aggravating for someone with knee pain and may be used as an interim strengthening exercise!

Still struggling with form? Book in a consult via the link in our bio for a Physio Led Exercise Assessment.

Mermaid Stretch for Better Posture & Upper Back Relief
Spending long hours at a desk? Rounded shoulders? Upper back stiffness?
The Mermaid Stretch is one of my go-to exercises to improve posture and reduce upper back pain.

When we sit for prolonged periods, the mid-back (thoracic spine) becomes stiff and the shoulders round forward. This stretch restores mobility and helps realign posture, taking pressure off the upper back and neck.
