Many men don’t realise that pelvic floor therapy isn’t just for women. After prostate surgery, it can be one of the most important steps in your recovery.
Whether you’ve recently had a prostatectomy or are supporting someone who has, understanding how pelvic floor physiotherapy can aid recovery is key to regaining strength, control, and quality of life.
Why Pelvic Floor Health Matters After Prostate Surgery
The prostate sits just below the bladder and plays a role in urinary control. When it's surgically removed, the surrounding structures, including the pelvic floor muscles can be weakened or disrupted.
This often leads to issues like:
- Urinary incontinence (especially during exercise, coughing or laughing)
- Erectile dysfunction
- Bladder urgency or frequency
These symptoms are common, but they don’t have to be permanent. That’s where pelvic floor therapy comes in.

- Surgical history
- Functional pelvic floor muscle control

Treatment then focuses on:
- Pelvic floor exercises for men after prostatectomy
