Going the extra mile
Post-Prostatectomy Care
A prostatectomy is often a life-saving procedure, but it can also bring unexpected changes to your body. Holistic pelvic PT may be your missing piece to your cancer care journey.
Why Pelvic PT After a Prostatectomy?
Removing the prostate can affect the pelvic floor muscles, nerves, and bladder control system. Pelvic PT helps by:
Reducing urinary leakage
Teaching your pelvic floor muscles how to activate, strengthen, and relax at the right times.
Managing pelvic or abdominal pain
Gentle manual therapy and relaxation techniques can ease tension and reduce nerve irritation.
Improving sexual health
Better pelvic floor coordination and nerve health may help with erectile function and decrease frustration with intimacy.
Supporting long-term health
Education and tailored exercises help protect against future pelvic and back issues.
What You May Be Experiencing
It’s normal to have challenges after prostate surgery, such as:
Leaking urine with coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercise
This may be normal in the beginning healing stages, but should not be expected long term.
Needing to wear pads or feeling unable to trust your bladder
It may be shockingly hard to get back to feeling normal simply because you can’t leave the house without Depends or pads.
Pain or heaviness in the pelvis, hips, or lower back

Trouble returning to sexual activity
Although sex may be different than it was before, that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be enjoyable. Improving erectile health is key.
Frustration with slow recovery or lack of answers
I see men years or decades after their prostatectomy, still wondering why they aren’t “normal.”
You don’t have to live with these symptoms. Pelvic PT can make a huge difference in regaining your independence and confidence.
