Men's Health Physical Therapy

Specialized Pelvic Floor Treatment for Men's Health Concerns

Geriatric Physical Therapy

Pelvic health isn't just a women's issue—men experience it too, and we're here to help. At New Jersey Rehab Experts, our Men's Health Physical Therapy program is designed to treat a wide range of pelvic floor dysfunctions that can impact comfort, confidence, and quality of life. Our specialized pelvic health therapists provide discreet, professional care for conditions including pelvic pain, urinary urgency or leakage, post-prostatectomy rehabilitation, erectile dysfunction, constipation, and core weakness. Using evidence-based approaches, we perform thorough evaluations to identify the specific dysfunctions contributing to your symptoms, then develop comprehensive treatment plans tailored to your individual needs.

Through targeted manual therapy, pelvic floor muscle training, biofeedback, behavioral strategies, and education, we help you regain normal function and reduce symptoms—often without medication or invasive procedures. Many men suffer in silence with these conditions, but effective treatment is available. Our judgment-free, private environment ensures you'll receive the respectful, specialized care needed to address these sensitive but treatable issues.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q1: What happens during the initial evaluation for men's health physical therapy?

Your first appointment includes a detailed discussion about your medical history and symptoms, followed by a comprehensive physical assessment. This includes examination of posture, movement, muscle strength, and pelvic floor function. External examination is always performed, while internal examination (similar to a prostate exam) is optional but highly beneficial for accurate diagnosis. All evaluations are conducted in a private setting with clear communication throughout.

Q2: Is men's health physical therapy just for older men?

Not at all. While some conditions like post-prostatectomy incontinence typically affect older men, many pelvic floor issues—including pelvic pain, urinary dysfunction, and sexual health concerns—affect men of all ages. Athletes may experience pelvic floor dysfunction due to high-impact activities, younger men might develop pain after injuries or infections, and men of any age can develop bowel or bladder issues requiring pelvic floor therapy.

Q3: How long does treatment for men's pelvic floor issues typically take?

Most men require 6-12 sessions over 2-3 months, though this varies greatly depending on your specific condition, its severity, and how consistently you perform your home exercise program. Some issues like post-prostatectomy incontinence may require longer treatment periods of 3-6 months, while acute pelvic pain might resolve in 4-8 weeks. You'll typically see measurable improvements within the first few sessions.

Q4: Will I need to undress for men's health physical therapy?

You'll need to partially undress for examination and some treatments, but we provide proper draping for privacy and dignity at all times. For external approaches, you may simply need to expose the lower abdomen. If internal techniques are used, you'll be properly positioned and draped with only the necessary area exposed. We prioritize your comfort and clearly communicate each step before proceeding.

Q5: Is men's health physical therapy covered by insurance?

Most insurance plans cover men's health physical therapy when deemed medically necessary for diagnosed conditions affecting function. Coverage typically includes evaluation and treatment for pelvic pain, incontinence, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Our office staff will verify your benefits before your first appointment and explain any potential out-of-pocket costs. We can provide documentation to support insurance coverage.

Q6: How effective is physical therapy for erectile dysfunction?

Physical therapy can be highly effective for erectile dysfunction that has a muscular or vascular component. Research shows that pelvic floor strengthening improves erectile function in 40-60% of men with mild to moderate ED, particularly when combined with lifestyle modifications. For post-surgical ED, physical therapy can significantly improve recovery rates. It works best as part of a comprehensive approach alongside medical management when appropriate.

Q7: Do I need a referral from a urologist to start men's health physical therapy?

In New Jersey, you can access physical therapy through direct access without a referral for up to 30 days. However, many insurance plans still require a physician referral for coverage. Having a thorough medical workup from a urologist or primary care physician is valuable to rule out specific medical conditions before starting therapy. We work collaboratively with your medical team for optimal care.

Q8: What can I do if I'm embarrassed about discussing these issues?

It's completely normal to feel uncomfortable discussing pelvic health concerns. Our specialized therapists are professionals who work with these conditions daily and create a judgment-free environment focused solely on your health and well-being. Many men express relief after their first appointment, finding the clinical approach makes discussing these topics much easier than anticipated. You can request a male therapist if that increases your comfort level.RetryClaude can make mistakes. Please double-check responses.
