Why is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy important for men?

Pelvic floor physiotherapy is often associated with women’s health, particularly for conditions like urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse. However, it’s equally important for men, although perhaps less recognised. The pelvic floor muscles play a crucial role in men’s health, supporting the bladder, bowel, and sexual function.

What is a Pelvic Floor?

The pelvic floor muscles, a group of muscles situated at the base of the pelvis, are vital for men’s overall health and well-being. These muscles play a multifaceted role in supporting urinary and bowel continence, sexual function, and providing stability to the pelvic organs.

For men, issues related to the pelvic floor can manifest in various ways, ranging from urinary and fecal incontinence to erectile dysfunction and chronic pelvic pain syndrome. Conditions such as prostate surgery, chronic constipation, pelvic trauma, or even excessive straining during heavy lifting or high-impact sports can contribute to pelvic floor dysfunction in men.

At Verve Men’s Clinic, we were lucky enough to secure the expertise of Alina Filipe as our Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist.

Alina is an APA titled pelvic floor physiotherapist, with a Masters and a postgraduate diploma in Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy from Curtin University and graduating from a diploma in Counselling.

She is involved in research and advocacy in sexual and pelvic pain and now calls Townsville home. Alina is trained in pelvic floor physiotherapy for female and male (designated at birth) conditions as well as kids/ paediatrics.

Having lived with pelvic pain most of her life, Alina can empathise with those living with pain. This led to her creating her volunteering and mentoring platform The Pelvic Tuner. Alina helps people with pelvic pain, and mentors other pelvic floor physiotherapists about pelvic conditions such as incontinence, sexual and pelvic pain, anorectal problems and prolapse.
