Why Pelvic Health Physio Is Your Secret Weapon After Prostate Surgery (Yes, Really!)

Posted 3 days ago

November was Men’s Health Awareness Month—our annual reminder that looking after your own health is just as important as looking after your tools, your garden, or your favourite sporting team. And if you’re preparing for, or recovering from, prostate surgery, this is the perfect moment to shine a light on something most blokes don’t usually chat about over a beer: pelvic health physiotherapy.

At Life Fit Wellness, we’re here to make that conversation easier, more comfortable. Taking care of your pelvic health doesn’t have to feel awkward, and the benefits are absolutely worth it.


Why Pelvic Health Physio Matters for Men After Prostate Surgery

1. Faster return of bladder control
Post-surgery leakage is common, but it doesn’t have to stick around. Our physiotherapists help you correctly activate and strengthen your pelvic floor muscles (you have them too!) to speed up your recovery.

2. Support for sexual function
Your pelvic floor plays an important role in erections and sexual performance. With the right exercises and guidance, pelvic physio can help improve pelvic muscle strength, coordination, and confidence.

3. Reduced pain and tension
Surgery can lead to tightness or discomfort around the pelvis and lower abdomen. Our physios use targeted treatments to release tension, improve mobility, and support comfortable daily movement.

4. Clear guidance through your recovery
Life after prostate surgery comes with questions—and we’re here to answer them. Your physio will guide you through what to expect, how to manage symptoms, and how to stay on track.

5. A safe, private, male-friendly environment
Pelvic health physiotherapy at Life Fit Wellness is discreet and personalised, with treatment plans designed specifically for men.
