PELVIC FLOOR THERAPY FOR MEN

Men’s Pelvic Health is a specialized area of rehabilitation that takes advanced education and training as well as a true understanding of the many components that contribute to a man’s overall condition. In some cases, the issue is in the pelvis and can be locally treated. In other cases, pelvic issues can be driven by other sites such as the gut, hip, or spine. Some pelvic issues such as tightness and /or pain can be driven by emotional issues.

Simply put, Men’s Pelvic Health refers to the health and well-being of the muscles and other structures including the mind that refers to or impacts the pelvis. Pelvic floor dysfunction is what happens if one or more of those structures is not working the way it should, causing unwanted and unpleasant symptoms.

Male Pelvic Floor Therapy refers to a number of therapeutic assessment and treatment techniques intended to decrease pain and increase your control of your pelvic floor muscles.

The main aim of treatment, no matter the condition, is to normalize muscle tone, strength, awareness, muscle fiber recruitment, endurance, muscle range of motion, to regain or heighten control over bodily functions including bowel, bladder, and sexual function.

Treatment techniques vary depending on diagnosis and symptoms. Education, manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and biofeedback are common in the treatment of pelvic dysfunction.

why would i choose to see a male healthcare practitioner for my pelvic issues?

“In my experience, a male patient is more likely, to be honest about what, when, how, and why he is seeking help when he is being questioned by another male.”

I have been seeing Steven Lavender, on a regular basis. I can't say enough positive things about him. He is extremely personable and always makes sure I am completely comfortable, in what is usually an awkward situation.

Working with Steve is truly a gift. If you are having a tough time bottoming I recommend. He is professional and will teach you the skills no one talks about to allow you to enjoy sex much more!

Steven and his empathy, knowledge, PT expertise, and practical advice he brought to our appointments left me feeling heard and more quickly able to start having sex again!

Dr Lavender was incredible to work with, he helped me regain my confidence and allowed me to fully heal. I highly recommend him and incredible approach to post-surgery patient care.

I have been meeting with Steven Lavender for the past few months and I must say he is fantastic. From the first minute of our first meeting, he put me at ease about the entire situation.
He takes the time to explain not only what the test/procedure is but also why it's needed.
