Understanding and Addressing Men's Pelvic Health Concerns

Understanding and Addressing Men's Pelvic Health Concerns: A Guide to Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy at Aroused Medical Clinic, Calgary

What to Expect During a Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Session

During your session, your physiotherapist will conduct a thorough assessment, developing a customized treatment plan based on your specific needs. This might involve internal or external muscle examinations, education on pelvic floor anatomy and muscle activation, manual therapy, and tailored exercises to strengthen or relax the pelvic floor muscles.

Is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Painful?

Pelvic floor physiotherapy is generally not painful. Treatments are gentle and adjusted to your comfort level. While some individuals might experience minor discomfort or pressure during assessments or certain techniques, open communication with your physiotherapist allows for immediate adjustments.

Referral Requirements

Generally, a doctor's referral isn't needed for pelvic floor physiotherapy. However, it's advisable to check with your healthcare provider or insurance company to confirm coverage requirements.

Recognizing Pelvic Floor Problems in Men

Several indicators might suggest a pelvic floor issue, including frequent urination, urinary or bowel accidents, chronic constipation, painful urination, pain in the lower back, genitals, or rectum, and erectile dysfunction.

Causes of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction in Men

Various factors contribute to pelvic floor dysfunction in men. These can include age-related muscle weakening, excess weight putting pressure on the pelvic floor, chronic coughing straining pelvic muscles, the effects of prostate surgery, chronic constipation, and chronic pain such as back or hip pain leading to muscle tension.

Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Techniques for Men

Pelvic floor physical therapy for men involves education and exercises to strengthen, relax, and stretch pelvic floor muscles. Therapists create individualized plans, often focusing on relaxation and stretching techniques to counteract muscle tension, especially in cases of associated orthopedic issues like chronic back or hip pain.

The Role of Diaphragmatic Breathing and Kegel Exercises

Diaphragmatic (belly) breathing is crucial.  This calming technique aids in pelvic floor muscle relaxation, easing pain and urinary urgency. Kegel exercises, while beneficial for some, can worsen symptoms in others if muscles are already tense. Aroused Medical Clinic's physiotherapists will determine the appropriate approach based on your specific needs.

Reclaim Your Pelvic Power: EMSELLA by MAUD—A Revolutionary Approach to Men's Health

EMSELLA by MAUD Medical Clinic, often called the "Kegel Throne," represents a groundbreaking advancement in non-invasive pelvic floor physiotherapy.  This innovative treatment utilizes High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Energy (HIFEM) technology, employing a powerful 2.5 Tesla magnet (similar in strength to an MRI machine) to stimulate deep contractions in your pelvic floor muscles. This targeted energy strengthens neuromuscular tissue and depolarizes motor neurons, creating a stronger connection between your brain and pelvic floor muscles.

Addressing Key Men's Health Concerns:  

- Urinary Incontinence: Experience relief from embarrassing leaks during activities like laughing, coughing, sneezing, running, or jumping.

- Urinary Urgency: Reduce the overwhelming urge to urinate the moment you think of a toilet.

- Nocturia: Enjoy uninterrupted sleep without nighttime awakenings to urinate.

- Enhanced Sexual Function: Improve erectile function, control ejaculation, and experience more intense and satisfying orgasms. Many men report experiencing improved ability to achieve and maintain erections, and increased control over ejaculation.

The EMSELLA by MAUD Advantage:  

- Non-Invasive Treatment: No drugs, surgery, or downtime is required.

- Rapid Results: Experience noticeable improvements in as little as three weeks.

- Multidisciplinary Approach: At MAUD Medical Clinic, we utilize a team of medical doctors, pelvic floor physiotherapists, and certified EMSELLA by MAUD Medical Consultants. This multidisciplinary approach ensures optimal patient selection and maximized results.

How EMSELLA Works:  

During a 28-minute EMSELLA session, your pelvic floor muscles receive 11,800 Kegel-like contractions. These intense contractions strengthen muscles, improving bladder control and enhancing sexual function. You'll experience tingling sensations and vibrations as the HIFEM technology works to strengthen your pelvic floor.

Is EMSELLA Right for You?  

At MAUD Medical Clinic, we prioritize clinical care standards. Our team of pelvic floor specialists assesses your individual needs to determine if EMSELLA is the right solution.

Addressing various types of incontinence:  

EMSELLA effectively targets different types of urinary incontinence, including stress incontinence (leaks during physical activity), urge incontinence (sudden, strong urges to urinate), and mixed incontinence (a combination of both).

Beyond Incontinence:  

While initially developed for incontinence, EMSELLA has shown remarkable success in improving sexual function and orgasm intensity in men and women.  This expanded application makes EMSELLA a truly transformative treatment for overall pelvic health and sexual wellness.

Post-Prostatectomy Benefits:  

Men who have undergone prostatectomy often experience pelvic floor muscle weakness. EMSELLA can help restore strength and improve bladder control and sexual function in these cases.

The MAUD Difference:  

Our multidisciplinary approach sets us apart. Unlike other clinics, you receive comprehensive support from a team of specialists – from your initial consultation to long-term follow-up – ensuring lasting results and a lifetime of benefits.
