Breaking the Silence: Off The Block Physical Therapy's Support for Men with Pelvic Floor Issues

Pelvic floor issues are a reality for many men, yet they often go undiscussed and untreated due to the stigma surrounding these conditions. At Off The Block Physical Therapy, we believe it's essential to break the silence and provide support and treatment for men facing pelvic floor issues. Many people associate pelvic floor PT with women’s health, however men can suffer from these same issues. In this blog, we'll explore the various services we offer and how they can empower men to regain their quality of life.

Understanding Pelvic Floor Issues

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and tissues that play a crucial role in maintaining urinary, bowel, and sexual function. Pelvic floor issues in men can manifest in various forms, including:

• Urinary Incontinence: The involuntary leakage of urine, which can occur during activities like coughing, sneezing, or exercising.
  

• Erectile Dysfunction: Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection, which can have emotional and psychological effects.
  

• Chronic Pelvic Pain: Discomfort or pain in the lower abdomen, pelvis, perineum, or genitals that may be persistent or intermittent.
  

• Bowel Issues: Difficulty with bowel movements, such as constipation or fecal incontinence.
