THE SECOND EDITION OF THE PROSTATE CANCER PATIENT GUIDE IS NOW AVAILABLE!
Urinary Incontinence and Erectile Dysfunction can be successfully treated after prostate cancer surgery! If you or your loved one has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and have chosen surgery for treating the cancer, "The Guide to Optimizing Recovery After Prostate Cancer Surgery" is for you!
This guide is recommended by health care practitioners/ surgeons and pelvic health physiotherapists as a must read before or after prostate cancer surgery.
Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy during Pregnancy and post partum
Pregnancy and post partum care is essential for a healthy mom and baby. Maintaining health, physical activity and controlling any other symptoms that may occur during pregnancy or delivery is important. Pelvic health physiotherapy helps with pain, urinary incontinence, vaginal heaviness, abdominal weakness and more. The sooner these symptoms are addressed, the sooner recovery is established. Empowering women with knowledge and care pre-natal can help with optimizing delivery and improving post partum recovery.
In this section you will find information on prenatal and postcartum care, and it will be updated frequently.
Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy for men.
Men have a pelvis too, and although not as common as women, they may present with pelvic painful syndromes, sexual and bladder symptoms that can be addressed and treated by seeing a pelvic health physiotherapist.
I treat urinary incontinence, urinary retention, prostate painful syndrome (prostatitis), pelvic pain syndrome (localized to scrotum, penis, bladder or generalized on pelvic region), urgency and frequency, and I run a prostate cancer pre and post surgery program. I also wrote "The guide to Optimizing Recovery After Prostate Cancer Surgery": which can be used to complement prostate cancer physiotherapy or be used for men who don't have access to care.
Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy can help sexual dysfunction.
Conditions such as painful sex (vestibulodynia, vaginismus, vulvodynia), inability to maintain erection, painful ejaculation, decreased vaginal sensation, vaginal dryness post menopause, vaginal sensitivity post partum or post surgery can be treated very successfully with pelvic health physiotherapy. Sexual Health is one of my passion, as I believe it is an area where there is very little discussion between health care providers and clients. Usually vaginal sensitivity and pain can contribute to bladder symptoms, such as urgency, retention and incontinence. Other bladder conditions such as interstitial cystitis can be triggered by painful sex and sensitivity. So it is important to treat sexual pain.
Let’s talk about sexual health, as SEX and PAIN should not go together!
How can pelvic floor physiotherapy help improve pelvic pain?
Pelvic Pain is an umbrella term that encompasses many symptoms and disorders. It includes location of pain such as pubic, tail bone, sacrum, low back, groin, vaginal, penile, scrotum, bladder, perineum, pelvic floor, and lower abdomen. It also includes chronic pelvic pain syndromes such as prostatitis and interstitial cystitis. If you have pelvic pain with any bladder or sexual symptoms or pelvic pain after or during pregnancy it is recommended to see a pelvic health physiotherapy.
Chronic Pelvic pain syndromes are usually not from an infection or a disease process.
It is a condition where your nervous system becomes de-regulated or sensitized.
Finding strategies to regulate your nervous system, address pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, address emotional or mental health status, use urge suppression techniques and relaxation can help symptoms. Usually, It should be treated holistically with biopsychosocial approach.
I can help address your pain and empower you with tools to help manage your symptoms.
