04:23 The goal of pelvic floor therapy to restore healthy pelvic and sexual function
Our unique pelvic floor and sexual health clinic allows you to address your most intimate concerns with an interdisciplinary approach. Our therapists provide a comprehensive and holistic approach to male pelvic health with pelvic floor physical and occupational therapy, sexuality counseling, mental health therapy, and nutrition therapy.
Our pelvic floor physical and occupational therapy exam may include:
- Physical examination of your movement, muscle strength, and function
- Assessing the external genitals
- Performing an internal (anorectal) exam
Our assessment and treatment is medical manual therapy related to pelvic floor rehabilitation.
It’s important for you to know that our clinic does NOT provide: sexological bodywork, sexual surrogacy, sexual healing touch, or sex work. Somatic-based sexuality practitioners that focus on pleasure touch therapy or provide sexual surrogacy, sexological bodywork, or sexual healing can be an important healing modality for some individuals. Our practice can make recommendations for somatic-based sexuality practitioners who specialize in these areas.
