Are you living with difficulty using the bathroom that has started impacting your personal life? Maybe you’re uncomfortable talking about problems like constipation with your family and friends, and don’t know where to find the right help? Discover how men’s health physical therapy can help you feel better and get back to your active lifestyle.
For many men, constipation and pelvic floor dysfunction can be uncomfortable and frustrating problems to live with. While we all have issues going to the bathroom now and then, persistent constipation can make your daily life more complicated and calculated than you want it to be. You may also find yourself limiting your activity level or feeling less confident in social situations due to fear of issues with your constipation.
Unfortunately, most men have difficulty finding answers or resources to learn more about the connection between constipation and pelvic floor dysfunction. In fact, you may have even been told by other doctors that there are no good solutions to your pelvic floor dysfunction and you’ll have to “just live with it”.

Men’s pelvic health matters to us
When it comes to pelvic health problems like constipation and pelvic health dysfunction for men can be among the most poorly understood. This is mainly because most doctors don’t learn about these issues in school, making them unable to answer your questions when you come into the clinic.
