Many men are surprised to learn that pelvic floor dysfunction can contribute to symptoms such as bladder urgency or leakage, pelvic pain, tailbone pain, constipation, sexual dysfunction, and recovery following prostate surgery.
Pelvic Health Physiotherapy can help identify contributing factors and develop an individualized treatment plan that may include education, exercise, breathing and core retraining, and strategies to improve function and quality of life. If you're experiencing symptoms that are affecting your daily activities, work, fitness, or overall well-being, we are here to help.

Choosing Pre/Post-Partum Massage or Pelvic Health Physiotherapy
Pregnancy and the postpartum period bring profound changes to the body, often accompanied by a range of physical symptoms. Meeting with a massage therapist trained in pre and post-natal massage therapy can be a valuable step in managing these changes and promoting overall well-being.
​
Common Symptoms Addressed by Pre and Post-Natal Massage Therapy:
-
Lower back and hip pain
-
Sciatica and nerve discomfort
-
Swelling in the legs and feet
-
Neck and shoulder tension
-
Fatigue and sleep disturbances
-
Stress and anxiety
-
Postural imbalances
-
Muscle recovery after childbirth
​​​
A massage therapist with specialized training in this area understands the unique needs of pregnant and postpartum bodies. They use safe, gentle techniques to relieve discomfort, improve circulation, and support relaxation. Post-natal massage can also aid in recovery by easing muscle tension, supporting hormonal balance, and enhancing emotional well-being.

When to Seek Further Support
While massage therapy can be highly effective, persistent or worsening symptoms may indicate deeper issues.
If you continue to experience:
-
Pelvic pain or pressure
-
Incontinence or urinary urgency
-
Pain during intercourse
-
Diastasis recti (abdominal separation)
-
Ongoing lower back or hip pain
It is recommended to consult with a pelvic health physiotherapist. These professionals specialize in assessing and treating the pelvic floor and core muscles, offering targeted rehabilitation to restore function and reduce pain.

Combining the nurturing benefits of pre and post-natal massage therapy with the clinical expertise of pelvic health physiotherapy provides a comprehensive approach to maternal care. Prioritizing your physical and emotional health during this transformative time can lead to a more comfortable pregnancy, smoother recovery, and long-term wellness.
