MenÕs Health

Chronic Male Pelvic Pain has puzzled the medical community for over a century. But, at Holistic Physical Therapy Services we believe that you do not have to continue to suffer. Working closely with your referring physician, we utilize a combination of medical, behavioral, and physical interventions to help alleviate and abate your symptoms.

At Holistic Physical Therapy Services our Men's Health specialists are trained to effectively treat symptoms associated with:

  • Male Chronic Pelvic Pain (CPP): CPP usually persists due to a hypertonus dysfunction in the pelvic floor muscles.   Using a combination of soft tissue techniques described in the Stanford Protocol, our specialists will work closely with you to recognize pain referral patterns and recommend techniques that will best address your pain syndrome.
  • Coccydynia: We utilize either an internal or external approach to normalize the position of the coccyx followed by stabilization techniques to prevent reoccurrence.
  • Post-prostatectomy Pain: Similarly to chronic pelvic pain, PPP can occur as a result of hypertonus in the pelvic floor muscles secondary to surgery.
  • Male Incontinence: In many cases, weakening of the pelvic floor muscles is the most common cause. You will learn how to retrain and strengthen your muscles to aid with better control of your bladder.  
  • Pudendal Neuralgia: Pressure or tension placed on the pudendal nerve can contribute to or cause many pelvic and lower quarter pain syndromes. In many cases conservative intervention with a manual based approach can improve and in some cases, abate these symptoms.
If you have a condition that is not listed here, but you are seeking conservative measures please call to speak with one of our specialists to find out if intervention by a physical therapist may be beneficial. Contact us M-F at 207.879.7510.
