This episode is all about the critical role of pelvic floor physical therapy before and after prostatectomies. I want to discuss this important topic because when you have the male organ, there is a likelihood that as you age, that organ may not be operating optimally.
I will be sharing with you the pre-operative therapy you may consider in order to improve the post-op outcomes.
Please listen to this episode so that you empower yourself with options on how you can take better care of yourself post-op!
Let’s discuss:
- Introduction to today’s topic
- Why Prostate Health Matters
- Common symptoms that might indicate prostate or pelvic floor issues
- How pelvic floor physical therapists assess urinary function, hydration, posture, and more to provide holistic care

- Post-Surgery Recovery: A look at the 4-week post-op timeline for catheter removal and the gradual return of urinary function, plus tips on managing expectations
