Nobody Talks About This. They Should.
Men don't bring up pelvic floor problems. It's not how most guys are wired. You deal with it, you work around it, you figure out which situations to avoid. The leaking after prostate surgery, the chronic pain in the pelvis or tailbone that nobody can quite explain, the urgency that's started to run your schedule: these things are real, they're treatable, and most men just quietly live with them.
Pelvic floor PT for men isn't a niche specialty. It's straightforward physical therapy applied to a specific set of muscles. Meg is trained to treat it, and she's done it enough times that there's nothing uncomfortable about the conversation.
Post-Prostatectomy Recovery
Prostate surgery is one of the most common procedures that leads men to pelvic floor PT, and it's also one of the least talked-about recovery steps. The surgery removes the prostate, which affects the muscles and nerves that control bladder function. Leaking after prostatectomy isn't a character flaw. It's a predictable result of a major surgery, and PT can speed up recovery significantly.
Meg works with men on:
- Urinary incontinence after prostate removal or radiation
- Urgency and frequency that disrupts daily life
- Pelvic muscle coordination and control
- Return to activity after treatment
The earlier you start, the faster things tend to come back. Waiting doesn't help.
Chronic Pelvic Pain in Men
Chronic pelvic pain in men gets misdiagnosed constantly. It shows up as prostatitis that doesn't respond to antibiotics (because it's not actually an infection), tailbone pain, pain in the perineum or inner thighs, or discomfort during or after sitting for long periods.
The pelvic floor muscles are often the source. They can hold tension the same way a shoulder or neck does, and the treatment is similar: hands-on work to release that tension and retrain how the muscles function. Meg treats this regularly. It responds well to PT when it's caught and addressed correctly.
