Male pelvic health still carries a stigma. Men’s needs are often overlooked, leading to a lack of understanding and treatments specifically tailored for men. Thus, Pelvis NYC was born out of necessity. When Dr. Adam Gvili, founder of Pelvis NYC, experienced pelvic floor dysfunction and did not get all the help he deserved, he decided to treat men’s pelvic floor as a male. Male pelvic floor therapists are specially trained to focus on male health concerns, providing the care and attention that men deserve. They can also help address specific issues such as male pelvic pain, which can impact everyday activities and require specialized treatment.
Pelvic Health
A pelvic floor is a group of muscles and tissues that support the bladder and sexual organs. The pelvic floor muscle function is crucial for supporting these organs and maintaining their proper function. Additionally, pelvic floor muscle function is essential for maintaining bowel and bladder control, helping to prevent incontinence. These muscles can become weak or damaged due to many factors. As a result, men may experience problems with urinary or bowel incontinence, sexual dysfunction, or pain in the pelvis or lower back.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Male pelvic floor therapists are an essential part of pelvic health because they can provide care specifically tailored for male patients. The male pelvis is different from the female pelvis, so it’s important to have someone who understands the male anatomy. Male pelvic floor therapists specialize in treating male-specific conditions, such as erectile dysfunction. They can help men to strengthen their pelvic floor muscles, which can improve urinary control and sexual function. Pelvic floor muscle exercises, also known as kegel exercises, can help improve bladder control, prevent incontinence, and potentially enhance sexual performance and pleasure.
Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Dysfunction of the pelvic floor occurs when there is difficulty coordinating the pelvic floor muscles, resulting in issues like urinary or bowel incontinence, chronic pain, and other related problems. Weakened pelvic floor muscles can also be a significant concern, and male pelvic floor therapists can help treat this condition through daily routine exercises, education, and building helpful habits. Male pelvic floor therapists can provide education and support to men who are dealing with prostate issues or other chronic health conditions. By working with a male pelvic floor therapist, men can take steps to improve their overall health and well-being.
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
Male pelvic floor therapists undergo special training to assess and treat pelvic floor dysfunction, making them highly skilled pelvic floor physical therapists. They can provide customized exercises and treatments to help improve the strength and function of the pelvic muscles. These treatments can include exercises to strengthen, relax, and stretch the pelvic floor muscles, addressing specific issues such as bladder control, incontinence, constipation, erectile dysfunction, and chronic pain. Therefore, men can enjoy improved bladder control, better sexual performance, and reduced pain.
