Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy and Prostate Surgery

Evidence suggests that pelvic floor muscle training both before and after prostate surgery, improves continence following the procedure. Pelvic floor physical therapy can offer patients:

  • Pre-op muscle evaluation with the use of surface EMG biofeedback to identify and improve pelvic floor muscle control.
  • Early post-op behavioral and dietary information with initiation of core and pelvic floor strengthening.
  • Progression of core and pelvic muscle strengthening after catheter removal with a home exercise program.

The goal of pelvic floor physical therapy is to return patients to their optimal level of function using education, exercise, and manual treatment strategies.
