Erectile dysfunction is one of the most common side effects following prostate surgery, with many men also experiencing urinary incontinence. In this video, the team at Complete Physio explains why this happens, how different surgical approaches affect recovery, and what can be done to support men during rehab. We talk through the impact of nerve-sparing techniques, when erectile function typically starts to return, and how physiotherapists work with patients before and after surgery to help improve outcomes. That includes using ultrasound to assess pelvic floor muscle activity, guiding men through targeted exercises, and helping them build strength over time.

In this episode from Complete Physio, we’re talking about the types of injuries physiotherapists often see in mixed martial arts (MMA) athletes. These aren’t your typical gym injuries, they include shoulder dislocations, AC joint sprains, cuff tears, and more complex problems like nerve trauma that can temporarily paralyse the foot.

You’ll also hear about some surprising techniques being used in MMA and even in professional rugby, like targeted kicks to the fibular head to cause foot drop, and strategies players use to trigger shoulder dislocations mid-tackle. It’s a direct, clinical discussion with real-world relevance for physiotherapists, doctors, and sports clinicians.

At Complete Physio, we help athletes of all ages recover from injuries using expert physiotherapy, diagnostic ultrasound, and tailored rehab plans at our Central London clinics.
