Men’s pelvic physiotherapy in Illawarra Shoalhaven is a specialised treatment designed to restore bladder control, manage pelvic pain, and support prostate recovery. By combining expert care with targeted rehabilitation, we empower men to regain their confidence and quality of life.
Navigating the physical changes after prostate surgery or dealing with pelvic discomfort can be challenging, but you do not have to go through it alone. At Calm Physiotherapy, our pelvic floor and continence physiotherapy is highly effective at addressing the root causes of bladder and bowel dysfunction, leakage, and muscle weakness. We work collaboratively with you to restore physical function, alleviate discomfort, and improve both your physical and mental health outcomes.
Our dedicated clinician, Brittany Bourne, has completed advanced training in men’s pelvic health and focuses heavily on pre and post-prostatectomy rehabilitation. By designing targeted exercises and specialised techniques tailored specifically to your body, Brittany helps you rebuild muscle strength, improve flexibility, and ensure a smoother, safer return to your daily activities.
Undergoing pelvic floor physiotherapy before a prostatectomy helps build baseline muscle strength and awareness, making post-operative recovery much easier. After surgery, tailored physiotherapy accelerates healing, helps manage symptoms like bladder leakage, and safely guides your return to normal daily activities.
Overactive bladder is characterized by a frequent, sudden, and intense urge to urinate, caused by involuntary contractions of the bladder muscle. Physiotherapy helps by retraining the bladder, strengthening the surrounding pelvic floor muscles, and teaching you techniques to calm sudden urges.
Male pelvic pain can manifest as discomfort in the lower abdomen, pelvic region, scrotum, or penis, and is often linked to conditions like prostatitis or pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. Specialized physiotherapy works to relax tight muscles, improve localized circulation, and alleviate pain, including discomfort experienced during intercourse.
We treat stress incontinence (leakage caused by physical pressure like coughing, sneezing, or lifting), urge incontinence (leakage following a sudden, intense urge to urinate), and overflow incontinence (when the bladder cannot empty properly). Treatment focuses on restoring coordination and strength to the pelvic floor.
Issues like constipation, discomfort, or bowel leakage are frequently linked to uncoordinated or weakened pelvic floor muscles. Through targeted pelvic floor exercises, biofeedback, and behavioral strategies, physiotherapy helps restore normal muscle function and improves overall bowel control.
At Calm, we provide compassionate, expert physiotherapy tailored to your needs. Take the first step towards better health today.
