Men have a pelvic floor too — and pelvic floor problems can have a significant impact on comfort, confidence and quality of life.

I’m Modinat Sanni, Chartered Physiotherapist and Pelvic Health Specialist at SANNI Physio & Wellness, and I provide specialist assessment and treatment for male pelvic health problems at our Little Island clinic.

Male pelvic floor symptoms can develop for many different reasons, including prolonged sitting or desk work, long hours driving, surgery, injury or trauma, heavy lifting, chronic constipation, stress, poor posture or changes in the way the pelvic floor muscles coordinate.

Symptoms may include:
• Pelvic or perineal pain
• Pain or discomfort when sitting
• Urinary frequency, urgency or leakage
• Difficulty emptying the bladder or bowel
• Pain during or after ej*******on
• Erectile difficulties in some cases
• Groin or lower abdominal discomfort
• Persistent pelvic tension or pain

At SANNI, treatment starts with understanding why the problem is happening. Depending on your assessment, your treatment may include hands-on physiotherapy, pelvic floor retraining, breathing and relaxation techniques, external electrotherapy, personalised exercises and rehabilitation.

We can also use advanced shockwave therapy where clinically appropriate, particularly as part of the management of certain persistent pelvic pain presentations. The aim is to support pain reduction, local circulation, tissue recovery and improved function alongside physiotherapy and rehabilitation.

You don’t have to feel embarrassed about pelvic health symptoms, and you don’t have to simply learn to live with them. Assessment comes first, because every man’s pelvic floor problem is different.

Picked up an injury at the gym, training or during a match? ⚽🏋️‍♂️

Pain is only part of the picture. A physiotherapy assessment can help identify what was injured, why it happened and what you need to safely get back to training.

MEN HAVE A PELVIC FLOOR TOO 👨‍⚕️

The male pelvic floor is much more than just a group of muscles. It plays an important role in bladder and bowel control, sexual function, pelvic stability and everyday comfort.

In this short video, I’m using an anatomical model to show you where the pelvic floor sits and how closely it relates to structures such as the bladder, prostate, p***s, re**um and surrounding muscles.

When the pelvic floor becomes weak, overactive, painful or poorly coordinated, men may experience symptoms such as pelvic or perineal pain, urinary leakage or urgency, difficulty emptying the bladder, pain with sitting, sexual dysfunction, or symptoms following prostate surgery.

At SANNI Physio & Wellness, male pelvic health physiotherapy starts with understanding why your symptoms are happening. Treatment is personalised and may include education, pelvic floor rehabilitation, exercises, hands-on physiotherapy and, where appropriate, advanced treatment options.

🚹 Men Have a Pelvic Floor Too. And When It's Not Working Properly, It Can Affect Much More Than You Think.

Many men live with pelvic pain, bladder or bowel problems, erectile dysfunction, or pain during sitting without realising that physiotherapy may be able to help.

At SANNI Physio & Wellness, our Chartered Physiotherapist and Pelvic Health Specialist provides a thorough assessment to identify the real cause of your symptoms—not just treat the pain.

Every treatment programme is personalised and may include:

✅ Comprehensive pelvic health assessment
✅ Hands-on physiotherapy
✅ Individual rehabilitation exercises
✅ Pelvic floor retraining
✅ Electrotherapy (electrostimulation) to help improve muscle activation, coordination, pain relief and bladder control where appropriate
✅ Advanced Shockwave Therapy for selected chronic conditions, helping to reduce pain, improve blood flow and support tissue healing
✅ Education and long-term self-management strategies

We commonly help men with:

• Chronic pelvic pain
• Pain while sitting
• Prostatitis / Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS)
• Pain during or after ej*******on
• Urinary leakage or urgency
• Difficulty emptying the bladder
• Constipation or bowel dysfunction
• Erectile dysfunction (in appropriate cases)
• Pelvic floor muscle overactivity or weakness
• Recovery after prostate, hernia or pelvic surgery
• Scar tissue and persistent pelvic discomfort

Pelvic floor problems are common, but they are not something you have to live with. With the right assessment and treatment, many men experience significant improvements in pain, function and quality of life.

🤔 **"How do we know if it's sciatica or pseudoradicular pain?"**

**We just know... 😉**

Well... not quite. 😄

**When you know, you know.** But that knowledge comes from years of training, clinical experience, and a thorough assessment.

What looks like "sciatica" isn't always a trapped nerve. Sometimes the pain is coming from muscles, joints, or other structures that mimic nerve pain.

🎥 We've squeezed a **5-minute assessment into just 1 minute** to give you a glimpse of how we tell the difference.

At SANNI Physio & Wellness, we don't guess—we assess, identify the real cause, and then treat the problem, not just the symptoms.

🎾 **Struggling with golfer's elbow? Try these simple exercises!**

Pain on the inside of your elbow doesn't just affect golfers—it can happen to anyone who uses their hands and forearms repeatedly, whether it's from the gym, work, DIY, gardening, or even lifting children.

These exercises can help:
✅ Reduce pain
✅ Improve tendon strength
✅ Restore flexibility
✅ Support long-term recovery

⚠️ Remember: Exercises are only one part of the solution. If your symptoms are persistent, it's important to identify **why** the tendon became irritated in the first place. The correct diagnosis and a personalised rehabilitation plan can make all the difference.

If your elbow pain has been bothering you for weeks or keeps coming back, don't ignore it. Early treatment can help prevent it from becoming a long-term problem.

📍 Visit **SANNI Physio & Wellness** in Little Island or Ballyvolane, Cork, for a comprehensive assessment and personalised treatment plan.
