Male Care
This clinic does focus on treating those who identify as women and persons in the LGBTQI+ community, and those who identify as male, for certain conditions.
​
Digestive Issues: These are treated for men the same way they are for women, so refer to the digestive issues tab. Treating all patients.
​
Pelvic Pain: men can have testes pain from the inguinal canal and the ilioinguinal nerve and spermatic cord getting restricted . We can treat that, often with good success rates. Most men feel improvement by the 6th visit. We have good results with post hernia pain (including repair),pudendal neuralgia, and hip pain. I'm also happy to help with pain issues or tissue tightness or past tears from anal sex to help you return to your fully expressed intimate life for gay, nonbinary, and trans persons. We will always keep you as draped as possible, working with gloves, just as we do for patients who identify as female or nonbinary. Please note, very few conditions require direct penile work, as the pain source is usally a nerve or fascial restriction causing referred pain. We do not do penile massage, rather we do very targeted manual therapy to the source of the pain. In very rare cases of penile injury, we can do direct work on the affected tissues. Please do a detailed job on the paperwork, which I will review prior to sending a scheduling link.
​Bladder issues: Urgency and frequency often respond well to strengthening and manual therapy. I do treat standard urinary urgency in all genders. However, I am not taking post-prostatectomy and post prostate cancer/radiation issues at this time, as I have shifted away from this focus. I can help pain from chronic prostatitis in all patients who have a prostate, regardless of identification, as that is a pain issue, and I specialize in pain syndromes.
​
Erectile Function: I am only treating ED issues related to pain, pelvic muscle weakness, or tissue restriction. Much erectile function is determined by overall vascular and cardiac health status, which is not a PT issue.
​
Post hernia repair or post vasectomy: With scarring from surgery and the sequella of issues, patients with these two diagnoses seem to respond well to a 6 visit course of therapy. I am treating all patients for these issues, which do not require direct penile work, and we will use draping to only expose needed tissues
​
If you have questions, please do the paperwork, so I can review your case and follow up with you. I'm happy to dialogue with you about if this is the right clnic for you after reviewing paperwork.
