What Is the Male Pelvic Floor?
Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles that sits at the base of your pelvis — like a hammock supporting your bladder, bowel, and sexual organs. These muscles control urination, bowel movements, and sexual function.
When these muscles are too weak, too tight, or uncoordinated, you can experience a range of symptoms: leakage, urgency, pain, erectile issues, and more.
The good news? Pelvic floor dysfunction is highly treatable with specialized physical therapy. Most men see significant improvement within weeks of starting treatment.
"I didn't know I had a pelvic floor!" - This is the most common thing we hear from men. You're not alone, and there's nothing to be embarrassed about.
Conditions We Treat
Our men's pelvic floor therapy addresses a wide range of conditions affecting the pelvic region.
Urinary Incontinence
Leakage with coughing, sneezing, or activity. Urgency that's hard to control. Frequent bathroom trips disrupting your day or sleep.
Erectile Dysfunction
Difficulty achieving or maintaining erections. Often related to pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, blood flow, or post-surgical changes.
Chronic Pelvic Pain
Persistent pain in the pelvis, perineum, genitals, or rectum. Often misdiagnosed as prostatitis when it's actually muscular.
Post-Prostatectomy Issues
Recovery after prostate surgery including incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and pelvic discomfort. Prehab and rehab available.
Bowel Dysfunction
Constipation, fecal incontinence, difficulty emptying, or pain with bowel movements related to pelvic floor coordination.
Pain with Sitting
Tailbone pain, perineal discomfort, or pain that worsens with prolonged sitting are common in cyclists, desk workers, and drivers.
Signs You May Have Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Many men live with these symptoms for years without realizing they're treatable. If any of these sound familiar, pelvic floor therapy can help.
- Leaking urine during cough/sneeze, or exercise
- Sudden, strong urges to urinate
- Frequent urination (more than 8x per day)
- Waking multiple times at night to pee

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!!”
