Men navigating prostate surgery or cancer deserve care that supports the whole journey- not just a pamphlet that tells them to do kegels.
At Oceanside Physical Therapy, we specialize in pelvic health and work with men every week who are preparing for or recovering from prostatectomy. Our approach focuses on:
๐ช Pre-surgery preparation
Understanding your pelvic floor and improving mobility sets the stage for better post-op recovery. Most people have no idea what a kegel actually isโand many arenโt doing it correctly. We teach you how your pelvic floor really works and how to use it effectively before and after surgery.
๐ป Bladder health & continence support
Knowing what โnormalโ bladder habits look like makes recovery less stressful. We guide you through every stage with clear, evidence-based steps.
๐ง Support through a challenging season
Prostate surgery can quietly impact a manโs sense of capability and purpose. Having providers who understand that, clinically and emotionally, matters.
๐๏ธ Rehab-based strength training with pelvic-savvy trainers
We offer integrated training through Tide Strength Studio, where our trainers understand pelvic floor mechanics, pressure management, and post-surgical limitations. Strength training helps men feel powerful again, and we coordinate closely with your PT to keep everything safe and progressive.
๐ And a quick PSA on kegels:
Doing kegels is like doing bicep curls and hoping it makes you a better golfer, itโs only one piece of a much bigger system. Pelvic floor strength matters, but it only works when it coordinates with breath, pressure, hips, and core. Kegels alone (especially if done incorrectly) are almost never the full solution.
If youโre preparing for surgery, or already recovering, Oceanside is here to help you rebuild strength, confidence, and control with expert, compassionate care.
Don't wait until you are referred. This should be standard care, not just if your outcomes are suboptimal!
