Pelvic Pain

Pelvic Pain Relief through Physiotherapy

What is it?
Pelvic pain in men can result from muscle tension, injury, or nerve-related issues in the pelvic area. Chronic or persistent pelvic pain can have a significant impact on mental health and daily life, with physiotherapy offering effective methods to manage and relieve this condition.

Signs and Symptoms

  • Pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen, pelvis, or groin
  • Aching, burning, or throbbing sensations in the pelvic region
  • Discomfort or pain when sitting for long periods
  • Pain during or after physical activities
  • Difficulty with bowel or bladder function due to pain

Common Causes

  • Overactive pelvic floor muscles: Tension and tightness in these muscles can lead to persistent pain.
  • Injury or trauma to the pelvic area: Previous injury can result in chronic discomfort or pain.
  • Nerve entrapment or irritation: Nerves in the pelvic area can become compressed or irritated, causing pain.
  • Psychological factors: Stress and anxiety can contribute to muscle tension and exacerbate pelvic pain.

How Physiotherapy Can Help

  • Pelvic floor relaxation techniques to release muscle tension and alleviate pain
  • Manual therapy and soft tissue massage to reduce tightness and improve flexibility
  • Stretching exercises tailored to the pelvic and hip region
  • Breathing and relaxation techniques to manage pain and reduce tension
  • Education on ergonomic and postural adjustments to avoid strain on the pelvic area
  • Holistic approach addressing both physical and mental aspects of pain management
