Men’s Pelvic Health

It can be an unwelcome shock for men when they notice symptoms of pelvic dysfunction, particularly as there is little public and professional awareness about men’s pelvic health (an issue that Sydney Pelvic Clinic is trying to address).

Our physiotherapists specialise in assessing, diagnosing and providing expert and individual management to help patients regain their optimal pelvic health.

Our Service Includes:

Complete pelvic assessment
Your physiotherapist will spend time thoroughly understanding your symptoms and medical history as well as conducting a full physical assessment of your pelvis. This may involve using either Real Time Ultrasound to assess your bladder and Pelvic Floor Muscles or an internal assessment.

Diagnosis and explanation of your pelvic issue
Once your physiotherapist diagnoses the cause of your pain or dysfunction, they will explain the reasons for this and the expected outcome of your treatment. Understanding your particular pelvic issue is an important element of getting you back on the road to wellness. It will help you engage in the course of your rehabilitation as well as giving you ownership over your outcome.

Management plan and treatment
Your treatment plan is individual and personal. It may involve pelvic floor and pelvic muscle releases and retraining, education, mindfulness and relaxation, bladder and bowel training and specific exercise rehabilitation.
