Men's Pelvic Health Physiotherapy in Sutton and Surrey

London Sports Physiotherapy offer specialist men’s pelvic health physiotherapy in Sutton, providing expert, evidence-based care for a wide range of conditions that affect the male pelvis, bladder, bowel, and pelvic floor.

Men’s pelvic health is a vastly underrepresented area of healthcare. Many men experience pelvic symptoms for years without seeking help, often unaware that physiotherapy can make a significant and lasting difference.

At London Sports Physiotherapy in Sutton, we provide a professional, discreet, and entirely non-judgemental environment where men can access the specialist pelvic care they deserve.

What Is Men's Pelvic Health Physiotherapy?

Men have a pelvic floor too. This group of muscles sits at the base of the pelvis and plays a critical role in bladder and bowel control, sexual function, and core stability. When the pelvic floor muscles are not working correctly, whether weakened, overactive, or poorly coordinated, a range of uncomfortable and often distressing symptoms can result.

Men’s pelvic health physiotherapy involves a detailed assessment of the pelvic floor muscles and surrounding structures, followed by a personalised treatment programme to restore normal function, reduce pain, and improve quality of life. Our specialist physiotherapists in Sutton are experienced in assessing and treating the full spectrum of male pelvic health conditions.

Treatment can include:

  • Gentle hands-on therapy
  • Strength and conditioning programmes
  • Movement and coordination training
  • Postural assessment and correction
  • Sport-specific rehabilitation
  • Education for parents and children
  • Acupuncture
  • Shockwave therapy

What Can You Expect From Your Session?

We understand that seeking help for pelvic health concerns can feel daunting for many men. At London Sports Physiotherapy in Sutton, we are committed to making your experience as straightforward and comfortable as possible from the moment you get in touch.

Initial Consultation (approximately 40 minutes)

Your first appointment begins with a thorough, confidential discussion of your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and goals. Your physiotherapist will ask detailed questions about your bladder and bowel function, any pain you are experiencing, your surgical or medical history, and how your symptoms are affecting your daily life. There is no judgement here, only a genuine commitment to understanding your situation and helping you find a way forward.

A physical assessment will then be carried out. This may include an evaluation of your posture, breathing patterns, abdominal and hip function, and lumbar spine movement. With your full informed consent, an internal assessment via the rectum may be recommended in some cases, as this can provide the most accurate and detailed information about pelvic floor muscle function. Your physiotherapist will always discuss all available assessment options with you clearly and sensitively before proceeding.

Follow-Up Sessions (approximately 40 minutes)

Based on your assessment, your physiotherapist will design a personalised, evidence-based treatment plan tailored to your specific condition and goals. Treatment may include pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation, manual therapy, nerve desensitisation techniques, scar tissue treatment, biofeedback, bladder and bowel retraining, and lifestyle and exercise advice. Your progress will be carefully monitored at each session and your programme refined as you improve.

Our aim is not only to resolve your symptoms but to give you the understanding and tools to manage your pelvic health confidently in the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions

No referral is needed. You can self-refer directly to our Sutton clinic at any time. If you have been recommended by your GP, urologist, oncologist, or surgeon, we are happy to liaise with your medical team to ensure a joined-up approach to your care.

No. An internal pelvic floor assessment via the rectum can provide valuable detail about muscle function and is recommended in certain cases, but it is entirely your choice whether to proceed with one. Your physiotherapist will explain all available options clearly, and a thorough assessment can often be completed using external techniques. Your comfort and informed consent are always our priority.

Completely. Many men feel this way, and we want you to know that our physiotherapists have heard it all before. There is nothing you can say that will surprise or embarrass us. Pelvic health conditions are common, they are medical, and they are treatable. We are here to help, not to judge.

For some men, yes, particularly where pelvic floor muscle tension or dysfunction is a contributing factor. Research supports the role of pelvic floor physiotherapy in improving erectile function. Your physiotherapist will assess whether your symptoms are likely to benefit from physiotherapy and will be honest with you about what to expect.

Ideally, pelvic health physiotherapy should begin before your surgery as part of a pre-habilitation programme. If this was not possible, starting as early as possible after your operation gives the best outcomes. However, it is never too late, men can benefit from pelvic floor rehabilitation at any point in their recovery, even years after surgery.

This varies depending on your condition and how long you have been experiencing symptoms. Some men notice significant improvement within four to six sessions, while those with more complex or long-standing conditions may benefit from a longer course. Your physiotherapist will give you a realistic estimate at your initial consultation and review your progress regularly.

Many private health insurers cover physiotherapy, including specialist pelvic health physiotherapy. We recommend checking with your insurer before booking. London Sports Physio in Sutton is recognised by most major health insurance providers.
