Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy for Prostatitis

Prostatitis is a common condition that causes significant discomfort, pain, and urinary challenges. It involves inflammation of the prostate gland and can lead to symptoms such as:

  • Pelvic pain and discomfort

  • Painful or frequent urination

  • Urinary urgency

  • Pain during or after ejaculation

  • Lower back or perineal pain

  • Erectile dysfunction

​

One of the most common types, chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS), is often not caused by a bacterial infection. Instead, it is frequently linked to pelvic floor dysfunction, making diagnosis and treatment more complex.

The Link Between Prostatitis and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support the bladder, prostate, and rectum while playing an important role in bladder control, bowel function, and sexual health.

Many men with prostatitis have tension in their pelvic floor muscles. When these muscles become overactive (hypertonic), they remain in a constant state of contraction, leading to:

  • Chronic pelvic pain

  • Difficulty urinating

  • Discomfort during or after ejaculation

​

This is similar to persistent tightness in the neck or shoulders - except in this case, the tension affects bladder, bowel, and sexual function.

Since muscle dysfunction is a key contributor to symptoms, addressing pelvic floor imbalances is essential for effective treatment.

​

How Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Can Help

Pelvic floor physiotherapy focuses on improving muscle function to relieve pain and restore normal movement. A physiotherapist who has expertise in the treatment of male pelvic health can help manage prostatitis symptoms through:

​

  • Comprehensive Pelvic Floor Assessment

  • Muscle Relaxation and Manual Therapy

  • Biofeedback Therapy

  • Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (if needed)

  • Education, Lifestyle Modifications, and Addressing Contributing Factors

  • Medication Support (if necessary)
