Post-Prostatectomy Rehabilitation in Los Altos, CA
Recover faster and regain control after prostate surgery. Our post-prostatectomy physical therapy combines pelvic floor rehabilitation with personalized one-on-one care to help you get back to your life with confidence.
Understanding Recovery After Prostate Surgery
Prostate surgery is a significant procedure, and recovery takes time. Many men experience urinary leakage, erectile dysfunction, or pelvic discomfort in the weeks and months following a prostatectomy. These issues are common, and more importantly, they're treatable. Research shows that men who work with a pelvic floor physical therapist before and after surgery recover bladder control faster and have better long-term outcomes.
At PhysioFit, we provide private, one-on-one post-prostatectomy physical therapy to help you heal with dignity and confidence. You don't have to "just live with it."

- Urinary leakage with activity, coughing, or sneezing
- Urinary urgency or frequency

What Our Clients Say
H.S.
“Allison is the most skilled PT that I have been treated by in a long time. She told me about a ligament "Uranus" problem today that I have never heard of being a PT myself. She also goes the extra mile in never cutting the hour short, in sending clarifying emails afterwards, in keeping her hands on me truly treating and not just talking and documenting the session afterwards mot during our time!!”
