WHAT DOES THE RESEARCH SAY?
Research shows that having an assessment with a pelvic physiotherapist before your surgery can help with making sure you know how to activate those pelvic floor muscles independently and with your other core muscles functionally. We can address any other musculoskeletal issues such as pelvic mobility, lower back function, posture and positioning.
Research has supported pelvic health physiotherapy for men after prostatectomy surgery. Although there is no gold standard protocol for treatment, pelvic floor physiotherapy can be helpful with addressing dysfunctions of the pelvic floor.
