Stereotyped as tough and rugged, the male section of society tends to overlook early signs of injuries and ailments. While men are often advised to “man up” when they complain of any pain, doing so can lead to serious issues.
Toowoomba Family Physio suggests that men should start paying attention to any pain or stiffness in the body as they age. It may come as a surprise, but:
- 10% of total male populace can develop pelvic floor issues in their lifetime.
- About 16% of men of ages 18 years and above suffer from overactive bladder.
- Erectile dysfunction affects more men than we believe. As they age, the issue becomes even more prominent.
The primary reasons for not talking to a physio about such issues are ignorance, hesitation and social stigma.
As much as men hate to talk about their health, not talking about it is only going to make things worse for them.
Men’s Health Physiotherapy covers all areas of Physio relating to incontinence, overactive bladder, bowel dysfunction, pelvic pain and erectile & sexual dysfunction.
We offer full assessment and diagnoses of these conditions, and individualised advice and treatment including:
- Safe rehabilitation and return to exercise advice, following prostrate surgery or urology procedures.
- Progressive pelvic floor muscle re-training using real-time ultrasound, EMG biofeedback & muscle stimulation when required.
- Bladder training for overactive bladder.
- Acupuncture for bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunction & pain.
- Treatment for prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain.
- Manual therapy for pelvic & coccygeal pain
Toowoomba Family Physio offers optimum Men’s Health Physiotherapy services with full confidentiality.
