Strength, Control, and Confidence at Every Stage of Life
Pelvic floor health is essential to bladder control, bowel function, sexual health, and core
stability, yet it is often overlooked in men. At MetroWest Medical Wellness we provide comprehensive, evidence-based care to help men restore pelvic strength, improve symptoms, and regain confidence.
What is the Pelvic Floor?
The pelvic floor is a group of deep muscles that form a supportive “hammock” at the base of the pelvis. In men, these muscles:
- Support the bladder and bowel
- Control urination and bowel movements
- Play a key role in erectile function and ejaculation
- Contribute to core strength and stability
When these muscles weaken or lose coordination, symptoms can develop that affect daily life and quality of health.
Common Pelvic Floor issues in Men
Pelvic floor dysfunction is common and often under-recognized. Men may experience:
Urinary Symptoms
- Stress urinary incontinence (leakage with coughing, sneezing, lifting, or exercise)
- Urgency or frequent urination
- Incomplete bladder emptying
- Post-void dribbling
Post-Prostate Treatment Symptoms
- Urinary leakage after prostatectomy
- Reduced pelvic muscle strength following radiation or surgery
- Changes in sexual function
Sexual Health Concerns
- Erectile dysfunction related to pelvic muscle weakness
- Reduced ejaculatory control
- Decreased sexual confidence
Pelvic Pain & Core Weakness
- Chronic pelvic or perineal discomfort
- Lower back or hip instability
- Difficulty engaging core muscles
What Causes Pelvic Floor Dysfunction in men?
Pelvic floor issues can develop due to:
- Prostate surgery or radiation therapy
- Aging
- Chronic straining or constipation
- Obesity
- Neurologic conditions
- Prolonged sitting or inactivity
- High-impact exercise without core balance
How Pelvic Floor Therapy Helps
Pelvic floor therapy focuses on strengthening, retraining, and improving coordination of the pelvic muscles. Benefits may include:
Improved bladder control Reduced urinary leakage Better pelvic and core stability Enhanced sexual function Improved quality of life
Early treatment often leads to better outcomes, especially after prostate procedures.
Advanced Non-Invasive Therapy: EmSella® for Men
We offer EmSella®, an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles using High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM®) technology.
How EmSella Works
- You sit fully clothed on a specialized chair
- Electromagnetic energy penetrates deep pelvic muscles
- Each session produces thousands of powerful muscle contractions
- These contractions retrain and strengthen the pelvic floor far beyond what voluntary exercises (Kegels) can achieve

Pelvic Floor Exercises vs Advanced Therapy
While traditional Kegel exercises can be helpful, many men:

Advanced therapies like EmSella provide consistent, targeted muscle activation and can accelerate recovery when combined with guided care.
