What is Men’s Health Physiotherapy?

Men’s health physiotherapy plays a vital role in the holistic care of male health and is backed by high-quality research to assist men with improving and recovering from many male-specific conditions.

Men’s Health Physiotherapy incorporates assessing and treating issues related to your bladder, and bowel and is able to optimise your recovery from prostate surgery.

Men’s Health Physiotherapy Treatment Options
