45. Life After Prostate Removal: Pelvic Rehab Tips for Men


Listen Later

With June being Men’s Health Month, we’re continuing the conversation with a topic that impacts far more men than you might think: life after a prostatectomy.


Whether it’s due to prostate cancer, elevated PSA levels, or other health concerns, prostate removal is a MAJOR event, and the physical and emotional recovery can be just as significant. 


In today’s conversation, we’re discussing what men really experience after prostate removal, and how pelvic rehab can be a total game changer during this process. Research and experience both show that “pre-hab” (aka, prepping your pelvic floor before the procedure) leads to better post-op outcomes, shorter recovery timelines, and a stronger connection to your body. 


Honestly, men aren’t used to tuning into their bodies this way. But…working with a provider who truly GETS this process can help with a smoother recovery and healing!


Pelvic floor rehab is powerful and essential for post-prostatectomy. Life after prostate removal can be strong, healthy, and FULL of possibility!


In this episode, we’re covering:

  • Why some men need prostatectomies + common symptoms they face after surgery
  • Eye-opening stats on pelvic floor rehab before prostate surgery
  • How “pre-hab” can greatly improve recovery & confidence
  • What post-op support looks like
  • Why personalized, empowering care makes ALL the difference in healing
