Pelvic Pain
One of the main contributory factors to pelvic pain is that of over-active pelvic floor muscles. When this happens, it means that these muscles never relax fully and there’s a constant high level of tension. This over activity can contribute to conditions such as chronic prostatitis, irritable bowel syndrome and post pelvic trauma. It can present as penile, testicular or groin pain with pain during urination or sexual activity.
Physiotherapy focuses on down training and releasing these muscles using techniques such as manual therapy, diaphragmatic breathing techniques and education. Actively contracting your pelvic floor muscles as per the often advertised strengthening programmes can be detrimental to this problem. It does require the intervention of a specialist Physiotherapist.
Please note: Men’s health initial assessment requires a 1-hour appointment.
